Cingular PTT is AWESOME!!... as far as PTT goes...

Cingular's PTT service is far and away better than any other PTT offering from any other wireless carrier (Nextel included).

Actually, under ideal conditions, the voice over voice PTT solution is actually faster (due to the faster origination and termination of voice calls at least on CDMA).

And yes, the kodiak solution is a regular phone call while Moto iDen is a VOIP c...
