There is no differentiation between QChat enabled phones and iDEN regarding DirectConnect services. Of course, you are correct Dustin that these features have been recent staples of Nextel DirectConnect service, but they will now be extended to the entire lineup of QChat devices in order to make DirectConnect transparent to the user, whether on iDEN or QChat. “Push to X” will be a standard feature of the DirectConnect service going forward.

Great phone though. The new phones that will be coming out will be Nextel only devices for the iDen network like the i570 and i335 plus a bunch more coming soon." How are iDEN-only phones going to have Sprint Mobile Broadband aka EV-DO? And yes, I know about Q-Chat phones. So far every Q-Chat phone posted here has looked fugly, so I went with the ic902 for now. ““It will be available for $7.50 a month once it is launched later this year along with a new line of Nextel Direct Connect-capable phones with Sprint Mobile Broadband data capabilities.””

Actually the ic902 has been out there for a while now and is in the line of "powersource" phones which use the sprint and nextel networks. Great phone though. The new phones that will be coming out will be Nextel only devices for the iDen network like the i570 and i335 plus a bunch more coming soon. Also coming, Sprint only phones which utilize the CDMA network will soon have the same capabilities of the nextel phones with Push-To-X...this means users will be able to utilize Palm, Blackberry and other Sprint devices to get business done more quickly and easily using Direct Connect. “It will be available for $7.50 a month once it is launched later this year along with a new line of Nextel Direct Connect-capable phones with Sprint Mobile Broadband data capabilities.”

This is going to be offered at no additional costs to current subscribers in the near future with feature compatible phones." I'm pretty sure my ic902 already had this feature?
