Push to talk
FYI. I saw in some release notes for our software Push to talk to set for some time around July 19th. I know some people have been asking about it. This is what I got from our release notes. Also I am not sure but I think the first phone will be a Siemeans ( i am not sure how to spell it) I think that is what I saw for the first phone but i could be wrong, since i am not looking at the release notes right now.

Yeah, Cingular definately will have the Push to Talk. At a training in March for date we got to use the Nokia 5100 series PTT device. It's definately a sweet phone and reps from Sony Ericsson that I've talked to have mentioned the Sony Ericsson T637 (i think,looks exactly like the 616) will have PTT.

...
The T637 Cingular is getting won't have the PTT, they are saving that for the z500a SE phone.
