I agree no one will be to beat sprint nextel when comes to push to talk I have the V950 that is fast on the push to talk when i went to verizon to try their push to talk their was an employee works for verizon said to me it's not worth it to have to push to talk on verizon it's to better to go sprint if you want real push to talk I am a public safety serving the public with their needs protect the public that's why I prefer sprint nextel push to talk better than verizon.

i guess having sprint ptt doesnt really help if their no longer in business. way to sell everything off sprint. ptt....ha pick up a phone and call you lazy ass. nobody else wants to hear what youre saying.

response 26 i hope you understand that all of public safety uses sprints iden network, and that if sprint wasn't used we could be attacked by terrorists or another country and to sit there andwait for verizon or att's network to let the military and public safety know what is going on??i don't think i want to leave that to chance. Stop copying something if you can't do it right. Hands down if public safety and all the government is using it there needs to be no further discussion.

Sprint kills the ptt or q chat because who ever is using sprint, boost or nextel can all communicate using this therefore if you have at&t you can only talk to people that have the feature and the same goes for verizon so i think that at&t needs to come up with something better than this

I am public safety/Peace officer we need the ptt from sprint nextel in order to get things done faster and easier no other cell phone company will be able to beat sprint nextel when to comes to ptt it's more faster than any other cell phone company out there that's why depend on the sprint nextel push to talk don't see verizon try offer sprint customers money on their if they switch from sprint to verizon.

I agree with most of you. Sprint has the best PTT capabilites.....right now! All I was saying in the first post is that in order for someone to be a LEADER, there must be a follower. In this case, the cake goes to AT&T...
