I had never been a Sprint customer, and had no plans until I needed a Nextel.  I was actually very impressed on how well it performed, and how useful it was.  Then, they surprised everyone by releasing QCHAT on their CDMA Rev A network which interoperates with Nextel. This was something they should've done the day they purchased Nextel.  Having two incompatbile networks just was a bad move and was why they bled customers.

So now that they have the late capability with some new handsets. About 4 phones I believe have this new QCHAT ability.  I've searched high and low to see if they're going to have QCHAT on their future Windows mobile devices like the Touch Diamond and Touch Pro.

I got official word from Sprint:

Question: Will future Windows Mobile phones support QCHAT PTT over CDMA?

Dear Peter Fattore,

 

Thank you for contacting Sprint Customer Service.  I will be happy to assist you in the device inquiries.

 

I do apologize, but we do not have any devices coming out with those qualifications.

 

If you have any questions or need further assistance please feel free to respond to this e-mail.

 

Thank you again for contacting Sprint Customer Service.  We appreciate your business.

 

Sincerely,

Ashley M.

This brings a frown to my face. They have the only PTT network that people commonly know about. They need to have every freaking phone support their PTT and/or license it to other networks. It's rediculous that they don't have a common national PTT network.

Sorry for the rant, but I've tried to hope that Sprint would solidify their PTT network, but time will tell.

Now I am 'pretty' sure about this part. QCHAT uses Java, therefore it could work on a Windows Mobile phone

Todo:
Install (internet from ethernet/phone network adapter bridging ((dhcp from phone and ICS are same, must bridge)))
/\ /\ /\ Above is a major problem. If I use ICS from phone to computer, and ICS from computer to router, both ICS networks uses the same IPs and it does not work. I briefly tried bridging the USB Network connection from the phone and the ethernet port to see if the phone would hand off more than 1 IP, but no luck yet. There may have been another problem. I'll work on this more when it's warm.
