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

Seems like that web page listed may be putting out a touch to much info. Either way it is kindof interesting to get a glimpse of how the whole ordeal will work. Oh well that web page may get in trouble for putting that out on the net. But at least it's pumped me up pretty good about the v60p.

 

If memory serves, that manual is a public document. You can get it from the FCC webpage on the V60p. I think they are in the clear. Past experiences lead me to believe that website is not that accurate though.

 

I'll just buy 2 at full price tomorrow or next Tuesday.

 

I dunno... that A1 sure is good, especially when you have been wanting it for a long time ..

 

Below is a quote from a HOFO post.......

See thread Moto on PTT , first post.

 

sorry I tried to search for it on WA, but got an error and was too lazy to retry the search. My bad It was relevant to the thread however.

I edited my post to refer to that thread so we don't have to scroll as far on this one.

 

Heh, Delta yea well I used to have an i95 and it is pretty huge to. Nexthell is just giving me problems not letting me change plans without contract extentions and they are flat out killin their customers on tax.

Hmm, I just tried to get that manual to pull up again. And it worked fine on my behalf ... it went straight to the Adobe reader and opened right up. I dunno maybe it could have something to do with Adobe storing cache files since I did look at it earlier. Oh well just thought I'd put my two cents in.

 

I was able to download it for the first time just now... now I AM really excited about PTT! I just hope all of my friends change out their phones so I can actually use it when it comes out!

 

I read about the rate plans somewhere, maybe on HoFo...not sure. It was a month or so ago. Someone spilled the beans though.

 

Delta - the link you posted is a different one than the one hossein24 posted earlier. The first one was 31 pages all about how to use PTT while the one you posted was about the V60p in general.

Matt - can you post what they said the rate plans were going to be? I dont go over to HoFo so I never got to see the rate plans. I remember hearing about $10 for 300 minutes but i am not sure if thats the real rate plans. By the way its nice to see your old icon back again...

 

Hey Delta, you know that survey you quote in your signature surveyed less than one-half of one percent of all wireless users? It is worthless. You cannot glean any significance from a survey with such a small sample size.

Not to mention NEXTEL was a very close second to Verizon.

 

So, judging from that, the $20 for unlimited PTT use rumor is bogus as well?

 

I will look for the thread and try to post a link. I don't want to be accused of leaking proprietary information.

Someone else in here seems to have read/heard the same rumour (yes, I spelled it the British way, it looks better that way!) that I did though.

 

Here is the link. (PTT pricing at HoFo)

 

Hey, I'm not arguing that Verizon isn't the best (I am not admitting they are the best either) just that that particular survey is terribly flawed. The Consumer Reports article was pretty bad too (and I subscribe to it) because it was very dated. It was probably 8 months old when it was published, LOL.

 

If I do find something I will let you know. I don't doubt that Verizon will still be #1 though.

 

I just thought that I would throw this out there:

Do you think maybe it is possible that Verizon realizes that this childish suite that Nextel has against them involving the "PTT" and "Push-To-Talk" trademarks is a waste of time, so maybe they will change the name of the service to circumvent Nextel's weak plan to stall the realase?

I was thinking perhaps all of the v60p phones that were already manufactured could have had the phrases "Push-To-Talk" and "PTT" embedded in them, therefore, they are being shipped back and will have new software loaded to them that removes the words and maybe that is the cause for Phonescoop.com reporting that the v60p will be out in October.

Meanwhile, perhaps the Samsung SCH-A690 has not been mass produced as of yet, but they are getting ready and have not run into the problem that Moto may have run into. Just a theory to think about.

On the other hand, the comments I have been reading lately, especially from yesterday make me very excited and I really think that it will be here before we think.
