VZW Push-to-Talk this week??? (Read this first!)

Here you go:

Actually, they filed on January 17th of 2002 according to public record.

They then reaffirmed registration and intent on April 22, 2003.

That kind of sucks that they did it over a year and a half ago....... that'll be harder to fight. They also did PTT as a trademark on January 18th 2002.

 

EXACTLY. That makes it even worse in my eyes. They had a patent.... patents are designed for you to be able to have enoguth time to make a product the best it can be, and to build brand recognition from that product's reputation.

They blew it. When the patent ran out, they said "oh s__t... we need more time... we're a one trick pony!!!" and now they're just buying time to try and pull one out of the old arse.

IMO anyway.

 

Delta, hands down that is best icon ever in the history of this forum!!!

 

The picture...for your icon....is that G'kar? Or am i totaly of base.

 

From what I understand the Trademark office has suspended the PTT mark and neither the PTT or the Push to Talk terms have been registered they still do not have registration numbers(they are under review). Here is a copy from TESS for the PTT mark.

Is G'Kar the guy from Babylon 5? The guy with the red face that was his icon is the devil creature from the Tom Cruise movie "Legend"

 

Patience children.... answers are coming.

 

Hmm things seem to be lookin up with two what appears to be positive comments by Delta and Ceno. I am just ready for the PTT to go ahead and come out. Haha the suspense is just killing me.

 

Things are looking up, indeed.

 

I guess once you get your v60p we can expect to see you stop posting in the LG forum.

 

I've only posted in the LG forum like twice and I probably won't get the v60p right away, maybe a month or so after it comes out.

 

I skimmed through this thread, so I am not sure if this was mentioned or not, but I don't think it was.

Phonescoop has the A690's release date listed as August 2003.

Samsung SCH-A690

Hopefully that is a good sign.

It was listed as July 2003.

 

Cool. Encouraging.

 

Well I must say the Nextel phones do get banged up a lot when I'm walkin around with it on my hip. It's been scratched up left and right even when I'm trying to be careful and not hit objects. Oh well though ... Nextel just really irritates me now cause I can't change to any decent plan without a contract extention. And here pretty soon the only thing they have going decent for them (Direct Connect) won't have the corner in the market anymore. Anyhow it's a good feeling knowing that I will be on the right side of the force again . Maybe now the force will be with me.

 

i threw out my hip once carrying a Nextel
since then my pro wrestler life has not been the same.

 

The only good thing about Nextels' phones is that they will stop a small caliber round......trust me. Man I miss working in Detroit, it was never boring

 

I'm not sure if this means anything or not but, I called customer service yesterday to complain about my bill. After I had settled that I asked the rep. if he knew about any new services coming out, and of course he mentioned PTT. I asked him if he had any pricing on plans, phones, etc.. He actually gave me a price of $200 for the phone but was unable to give me any info on the pricing of the actual service. As far I as know, the customer services reps have been very hush-hush about the entire thing. Is this a sign that the release is fast approaching?
