Wish I new, being a new rep for VZW I have a few Q's about the PTT myself. From what I understand it didn't work so well in the beginning.

I just would like a little info incase cust ask me about it.

They (Moto/VZW) DID fix, to an extent, the latency problem that plagued the system originally via a software patch. Last time I fooled around with a pair of V60Ps, the time for the original connect was about 4-5 seconds, with subsequent connections being about 1 second or so.

We're still waiting on newer handsets that will HOPEFULLY fix the problem. LG has one (4700), Kyocera has one (444) and I think Motorola is making a couple more, but God only knows when they'll be released. The Kyocera is going to be a bar-...
