The Sayno (sounds better than Sanyo) Pro 700 is JUNK. Both my parents got one so they could roam in Oklahoma at their lake house and actually have a signal(due to the analog builtin), but it turns out worse than the last phone they had. I tried using it for a CDMA modem so they could have internet up there as well but it wouldnt work. Called up Sprint and they told me they do not support this phone over their network nor did they know if they ever would. What a CROCK!

Meanwhile, this Qchat has “launched” but you can’t buy the phones online and can’t find them in all Sprint stores. The two higher-end phones (Samung Z700 and Moto V950) are nowhere to be found. So, er, what gives?

They really make amistake being so expensive and not standart M2M and few more. i’d like Nextel but i switch to sprint phone though, soeone said ugly phones however nextel did expensive but good quality phones comparing the cheapy feeling of cingular t mobileand more, sturdy, BIG speakers wich let you hear alot better and IDEN network is so good to transmit voice (not data uhh) seems like a landline phone to me on the i870 . i had cingular, GSM is weak, hear grabled an dthe tiny speakers. i’d wish sprint can provide good service with qchat. I want a phone that can listen the other party loud and clear !

How could Sprint make such a mistake and not include DC and M2M in all plans……oh right they are Sprint, never mind.

Apparently none of the featured posts have read the news about Sprint over the past 3 years. Sprint faces the real possibility of losing 3Million of their most lucrative business customers literally at the stroke of midnight on June 26th because they are using spectrum that the government demanded from Nextel years ago and have pushed the deadline back several times already. Sprint Nextel lost their latest appeal in May.

QChat is Sprint Nextel’s best hope of maintaining the level of service those 800MHz iDEN business customers were used too. The “stupid” pricing and “ugly” phones aren’t for families.

Nevertheless, still interesting.

I think that these ar the ugliest phones, and being a female in a Sprint store, these are not going to appeal to my selling base. In addition, they are really stupid about their prising plans for this. The market just isn’t there (at least in my location) to launch these , especially after we switched 95% of our customers to Sprint without the Nextel 2way.

That’s my whole point… how is DC not included with a fam plan of ALL things?

I don’t see a problem with the new plans, besides the fact that DC isn’t included with the fam plans
