    Re: Verizon PTT

    Thanks for catching that- I had totally forgotten that aspect of the
    product marketing.

    And to steal and expand upon a line I used in a post a while back,
    Verizon has many of the attributes of some of our other large Corporate
    neighbors. McDonalds comes to mind. They serve up a product in record
    time that really isn't that good, the service is less than friendly or
    helpful, and both have a clown for a spokesman that talk to fictional
    friends. The only difference- in the McDonalds commercial, the
    Hamburglar talks back.

    Good one.

    No one can hear him?

    They probably do.... but IIRC the iDEN technology was developed by Motorola. If the PCS
    PTT scheme ("Instant Talk" as Telus calls it) was designed by some other company then you
    really can't blame Verizon except for adopting the system.
