Come on over...the color 730 series is currently out with the 800 series not too far behind. You will also enjoy faster PTT connection speeds and subscriber prices that are lower than the others. 😁

I applied to nextel the only problem is that they require alot of money for deposit. Meanwhile I have 5 phones under my name with verizon and they never charged me for a deposit.Thats the only thing holding me back.

I have the ability to get deposits over-ridden - depending on the situation. Email me with a contact # and I can help you.

Well, to be fair, let's look at how VZW Push to Talk eclipses Direct Connect:
1.) Larger VZW footprint for wireless and push to talk calling
2.) One number for push to talk and voice dialing as opposed to a separate, counter-intuitive push to talk id.
3.) Free website for adding individual contacts (Nextel's is $5/month)
4.) More default groups (a whopping 20 participants per group, 50 groups per subscriber as opposed to Nextel's default of 30 total participants)
5.) Customizable Alert tones, you can't change a Nextel one (ever been in a room of Nextel users when a PTT alert goes off? It's amusing)
Of course, while I'm sure Nextel is working on the numerous problems above, we're working on pushing out PTT talk phones. Ou...

Let me correct all your incorrect statements:
1.) Larger VZW footprint for wireless and push to talk calling
Verizon PTT only works on the advance service network - it will not work in digital roaming, extended service or analog areas.
2.) One number for push to talk and voice dialing as opposed to a separate, counter-intuitive push to talk id.
One number also means someone has your walkie-talkie number once they have your cell number and can bother you. The Nextel solution provides more privacy and the Nextel PTT services works independent of the cellular network. If a cell site is overloaded the walkie-talkie will still work. If the phone company, Qwest, etc, has issues with interconnect, the walkie-talkie still works. Much mor...

Yes I love these things. These debates about which is better..
OK The verizon PTT works in what is called our 1x network. Pick up a nextel map and pick up a VZW PTT map and look at the coverage area's. They look very similar don't they..
Good thing bout verizon wireless PTT if your PTT doesn't work cause of you being off of our PTT network your cell phone still has a chance of working. Since we are here to provide cellular service.
1)Does nextel have that?
Probably not since nextel is a proprietary network and has few roaming partners.
You can alert anyone that has a verizon Wireless PTT phone by finding them in your phone book hitting the menu button selecting the alert function then pushing the PTT button... kinda sounds like m...

I'd have to agree with you here..I just hope we can improve the delay to get it out there

There is supposed to be some improvement on the delays this year with a re launch sometime around this summer.

I know the Samsung a690 is due out within the first part of this year, exact date, no idea? As far as a Motorola colored screen PTT, none that I've heard of.

Don't xfer just because there are no color phones for PTP (yet). Nextel's IDEN network isn't good AT ALL. There will be a color PTP phone sometime in the near future.

Alltel is releasing there PTT service to customers Jan 22 called Touch 2 Talk. The phone Alltel is going to use with its new service is the Kyocera 3250 Color Screen phone. I can't wait to see how that goes, I've heard good stuff...who knows.
