Good. I thins Sprint-Nextel will join the standard once it gets popular just like the did with text messaging.

I still don't know why people like sharing both sides of their conversatoins with the world around.

People have conversations out loud to each other in public, people use speaker phones. So why does it make it any different when the coversation is being done by walkie talkie, when talking in public, and speaker phone consist of the same voice volume?

I don't get it why people still complain about that... I mean I don't use walkie talkie, but seriously there are people out there that talk louder in public to eachother than ways people communicate on cell phones.

What annoys me (even as a sales rep) is HOW people go about using thier walkie-talkie services. (Take note as this can also be applied to non-PTT phone users.)

I HATE when people use PTT in places where the sound level should be moderate! Not only does the speaker amplify the person on the other end, but the user feels they must scream into the phone. On top of that, there's an annoying "chirp" before and after every statment. That is NOT what I want to hear when I'm sittin in Olive Garden havin lunch (the cheapest place in the world to have lunch ya know). Can we say SMS people?

Couple that with the fact that there are people who only pull out their phones and start chirpin for the attention it calls to you, and you'v...

I agree with disturbed....before I got my car and I was taking public transportation (on the bus), it absolutely annoyed me when the PTT talkers pull out their cell phones, have the volume to the max, and scream on the walkie-talkie! Not to mention, do I have to hear about your sex life, personal issues and a slew of profanity along with it?? Most of these people are young people (with Boost Mobile mainly)doing this, and most of the time it's for attention purposes only. Like a couple of the teenagers in my family said--it's the chirp thing that they get a "kick" out of....why, I will never figure out.

Why? I'll tell ya. There's a LOUD sound that plays every single time they're about to speak. It calls attention to them and what they've got to say. I don't know if you've noticed, but you can literally hear that sound over almost any other sound imaginable. If I stand outside my store (on one of the busiest streets in Greensboro, NC) I can hear that damned chirp from the gas station across the street OVER four lanes of traffic. What's better to a young (or generally ignorant) person than massive amounts of attention?

I know that the chirp was designed this way to compete with loud sounds like machinery on contractors' worksites so that a call wouldn't be missed (contractors ARE some of nextel's biggest clients after a...
