Sprint to Delay Consumer QChat Launch to June 15th?

Humberto Saabedra

Several sites are reporting that June 15th is the new date set for consumer launch of Sprint DirectConnect services utilizing the QChat platform.

As we reported previously, Sprint employees had been informed that the consumer launch of QChat devices had been pushed back to June 1st, causing much confusion for customers who had been eagerly awaiting the launch of the devices.

Now comes another report stating that the carrier has pushed the release further back due to wanting a more complete lineup of handsets than just the PRO Series, wanting to also launch the Samsung Z400 and the LG LX400 in order to have a more complete lineup at launch.

We will continue to follow this story as it develops.
