Nokia 6230i
Just ordered from cingular
The 6230i has PTT. Since Cingular does not have PTT, your telesale rep told you incorrect information. Sorry. Look for the 6230i around late summer early fall.

I repeat an earlier post: It's not coming for Cingular. Not now, not ever. Its not coming to the US. There will not be an 850 version produced. I have this directly from the manufacturer. Anyone telling you different is trying to sell you something or just jerking your chain.
Although Nokia world site shows a 850 1800 1900 phone to be available (for use in North America), unconfirmed rumor is that it will not be produced.
FWIW
Paco in USA
As far as the discussion over the frequency being 900 MHz as opposed to 850 MHz...I have been using a 7250i for the past two years with my T-Mobile account and have not had any issues. I have travelled up and down the East Coast, West Coast, Toronto, and Vancouver without any issues.
Please let me know if you did purchase from Mobilebee.com and whether you would recommend them. Thanks in advance!
He also comfirmed something I read elsewhere that on the Nokiausa site, there is a 'expected soon' section for new phones to be released, the 6230i is NOT on that site.
Any phone on that page will typically be available in 3-5 months. The page is updated as new phones are scheduled. So the phone is not going to be available for atleast serveral months, if ever.
Per the Nokia rep.
