Hmm, doesn't a phone like this belong in Sprint/Nextel?

Certainly seems like this would be a much, much better for for Sprint/Nextel.

Technically, AT&T has one of the largest push to talk networks in the country... they are using Kodiak's RTX technology which works over their whole voice network... So Sprint/Nextel is really not the only, or obvious, choice for ruggadized PTT devices...

If you use or have used Nextel's PTT and are not familiar with the differences between them and Kodiak check this out... http://www.kodiaknetworks.com/
Check out the demos... Cant barge in... can switch from simplex to full duplex... supports presence operations... good stuff

The fact that this off brand device manufacturer has Windows 6.1 running on this thing is weird though...

I365is is our current offering. Ontop of being hopped up a bit (1w boosted signal as just a walkie-talkie) it is also ridiculously priced (somewhere around 1k).

Probably why they didn't disclose price on this one either, to meet specs like that it costs a ton of money.

Nextel has always carried at least one intrinsically-safe phone in their lineup for over ten years. As usual, ATT & VZ are late to the business-oriented party.

BTW, has anyone out there ever seen anyone actually using ATT's or VZ's PTT? I haven't. Nextel PTT still chirps all over the place (although much less than it used to, for sure), but I have yet to actually see anyone using VZ or ATT's PTT in the real world. You?

OK, that's only one positive response in a few days, so I'm guessing I'm right in that there are very few VZ or ATT PTT customers out there.

BTW, which PTT service does your family use? VZ or ATT?

PTT can be annoying, but it doesn't have to be.
At least with Nextel (I don't know about ATT or VZ), you can hold the phone to your ear and still use the PTT button, just like holding the phone to your ear with a regular call, and the people around you never hear the chirps and never hear the voice of the person on the other end. So PTT can be used in ways that it is no more annoying than a regular phone call, it's just the way your people are using it.

If you think about it, even when PTT is used in the "traditional" (sometimes annoying)...
