Old SDC phones??

**sprintguy4ever** · 03-16-2012, 04:57 PM

since sprint has new Qchat phones and the ability to to use 1x/Rev.0/Rev.A and be able to use while roaming (other CDMA networks) i was wondering if older Qchat phones (Sanyo Pro 200) could also have the ability to use all bands of CDMA vs only working on only Rev.A?

No as the newer qchat is a major revision to the old one its version 4 of the technology that uses different codecs and compression

so the chipset COULD be upgraded with a software update? or is this a all new chipset?

It's mostly if not all software now on smartphones so in theory an update is possible but doubtful for older feature phones

Those older phones are limited by the old hardware used and cannot be upgraded via software to use other bands. The hardware just doesn't have the capability.

If Sprint is really serious about making the new SDC worthwhile (especially to legacy users) They should have a new stable of phones released with some sweet introduction pricing.

They're not serious. And they really don't care about legacy users who are generating minimal revenue for Sprint. Their goal is to get everybody on an ED Plan.
