PTT Coming soon to the US?

with the new PTT phones coming in 1 and 2 quarter, does anyone think that T-mobile/cingular/ATT will be offering PTT early next year?

There is a definite possibilty that it will be available though one if not all three. There is an increasing demand for this feature. I personally find it annoying but others find it useful or "fashionable".

I work for Cingualr, and we are slated to launch PTT feb. of next year.

nokia 7200 clamshell

😁

Anybody know details about this ph and what carriers will use it? It looks great! Also, any idea on pricing?

maxsac

It will probably be priced in the mid to high range due to its features and that it is a flip!

Since it's 850/1900, my guess would be that ATTWS or Cingular would be carrying it...
