Nokia 6102 & Push To Talk
I've been a Cingular customer for about seven months (switched from blue) and was looking on the Cingular website at my account and saw the option to upgrade my telephone. When I click the option to upgrade, and browse the phone site I notice that the Nokia 6102 has PTT.
However, when I log out and check the phones status outside of there, I do not see the feature posted! Is this a typo or does the Nokia 6102 work on the cingular PTT network?
When is PTT supposed to launch? And is the pricing going to be around 19.99 for family talk plans (2 phones)?
Here is a copy I found of the PTT coverage area:

As far as i know of the 6102 does not have PTT on it. Also, it's suppose to be released i believe on October 13 or 23 from what i am told... but i don't see it happening......

the phone has been released, but doesn't support PTT on cingulars network, not even when the kodiak ptt launches... it uses a different system.
...
you know what...i thought i was crazy myself until I saw this post -- hell i work for cingular and thought somewhere that I saw that the nokia 6102 has the PTT feature -- I THOUGHT it was on the cing.com specifications for the phone -- I was REALLY close to buying this thing at retail cost (not really retail...i get 30% off all equip), but I got to looking again and saw that it is not under the specifications for the phone...I mean i think they had to have had a type or something for that phone because I could have sworn on my mamas life that I saw it...oh well -- oh and by the way it will be out soon -- the trainers in the ocean springs call center have already been given the phones and services to test out -- saw the LG -- pretty sweet pho...

The 6102 does have PTT capability. Check the very same website your posting on...

I believe the reason Cingular doesn't list it as a feature anymore is because it was originaly supposed to be released simultaneously with PTT, however the PTT launch was pushed back again(i'm hearing mid Nov now).
Why wait to launch the phone? I mean the die hard Nokia enthusiasts have been waiting for a flip for a long time.

If I am not mistaken, the 6102 is PTT ready for PTT over GPRS. It will require a software update to work on Cingular's PTT solution.

you are not mistaken. they should stop listing that as an option so people don't get confused. The PTT the phone supports is "over GPRS". our PTT is Kodiak.

Thank you, jinx. After reading these forums this morning, it seems that G-Rad was posting all over them this weekend that Cingular already had many phones that were PTT capabl...

blow buddy. The 3 clients me and 45 other employees had a meeting with are the ones whom had stated that the phones i had mentioned were ptt ready. Next jinx is goin to say the lg phone isn;t ptt comparible either
...
the 6102 is not a PTT phone, plain and simple. it uses PTT over GPRS. this IS NOT the platform Cingular uses.
here's the link to the user guide:
http://www.endusersupport.nokia.com/phones/6101/noki ... »
it refers to configuring the phone with the PTT over GPRS settings. that tells me it's not Kodiak.
the only phones that will have PTT at launch are the LG F7200 and the Samsung D357.
Existing phones will not be compatible with the PTT service at this time. if it DOES become something you can add on it will have to be either a Java application or a Symbian program.
