Re: Is the 6282 coming to Cingular? PTT?
Lots of Nokia phones technically have PTT... but for now it's the PoC standard, which is incompatible with the Kodiak system used by Cingular.
I'm sure Nokia will start offering Kodiak-compatible PTT phones before too long. Nokia likes open industry standards like Java and PoC, but they offer BREW phones for Verizon, so I'm sure they will offer Kodiak PTT phones, since both Cingular and Orange (a large Euro carrier) have picked Kodiak.
And it's no wonder... Kodiak may be proprietary, but it just beats the pants off PoC in both performance and features. It's one thing for Nokia to stick by standards when they are better or equal, but I really don't see them taking a serious stand in defense of a clearly inferior technology.
