tmobile does not have push to talk

^^^

Um, well PTT isn't supposed to be used in delicate situations. I mean, I just started using it for like a week on my Nextel and I like it. If I had a private matter I needed to discuss, I wouldn't chirp-chirp somebody especially while walking down the street. There's some people that could live without PTT, but to me it's no more annoying than someone using their speakerphone.

too bad all nextel chirpers aren't as polite as you are. i can't go to a store without hearing that annoying chirp and the loud talking from the user!

and yes, loud speakerphones are just as annoying.

I agree with n1ckel. As for the speaker phone option, I use it by myself when my bluetooth needs some charging. Around other people, I use it when I'm at a sporting event. Even when I am at a sporting event, it's still hard to hear WITH speakerphone on.

I think the only reason I don't find speakerphones around me as annoying as chirps is because the conversation actually sounds real. With nextel it's a bit more robotic as you have to:
1) Speak
2) Wait
3) Hear the chirp
4) Hear the other person
5) Hear the chirp again

I will say though, that I do find a speakerphone tuned up TOO loud rude.

When using PTT (or Direct Connect) one has to use common sense. I wouldn't chirp someone with delicate issues/information because people around could hear. I do find that it can be economical, if you have a great plan as during the daytime you won't have to sap up all your minutes. For me, it's great when I want to get a piece of info, shoot someone a quick hello and don't feel like texting that person--you don't know if that person have a txt plan and they might be annoyed with getting charged for the msg.
