# of PTT Subs? About two dozen?

Sorry to sound like a smart alec but I say that because of my experiences over the last few weeks.
I have been to four Verizon Wireless stores in the Salt Lake City area and here is what I have found:

Went to one store and asked to see the new Push-to-Talk phones. The employee that welcomed my wife and I to the store had to ask another employee what a Push-to-Talk phone was. After talking to the fourth employee, I was let into the stock room and found a Rock. Got to look at it but it was not active.
Went to another store close to our house. They have the Barrage, Convoy and Rock on display. I had to enable PTT on the Barrage and Convoy and got to try them out. The rock did not have PTT active and I was...

Verizons PTT service is great and fast. Most stores don't have them active to keep people from adding numbers in them and PTT other customers. The Rock is a great phone. Much much better then the Boulder. If you are looking at PTT phones, I would really look at that phone. The new Barrage by Moto is good too.

Is this for a business or personal use?

Hello VZW611LA,
This would be for personal use. Have NE2 coming up in a few months and just want to see how the new PTT handsets compare to my Motorola Adventure V750.
Whatever handset I get, it would be nice if it would play non Vcast videos. I cannot play videos from YouTube mobile but if I go the www.vuclip.com and select vuclip classic, I can search for YouTube videos and play them on the V750.
The V750 has been a great phone! I do like the phonebook in the new phones as it will let you put an address, city and state in for your contacts.
I like the looks of the Rock and will probably want that when I get a new handset.
Thanks - have a great day.

Ah, I see. What you need is a phone with a HTML Web Browser. Did you try m.youtube.com? No www.

Whatever happened to the small business specialists Verizon is supposed to have in every store? When this person was in those stores looking at PTT phones I would think a specialist would have been all over him. My problem is that I think like a salesperson but I NEVER want to do it again.

Um, Small Business specialists is for people with a Small Business... This is for personal use.

The Rock is a great phone. You will love it.

Understood. But if some guy is wandering about looking at PTT phones wouldn't an enterprising small business specialist be all over him. I would think they would know about PTT phones more than your garden variety sales rep.
