I just sent motorola lenghty email regarding how horrible this trainwreck is. They have a the i930 thats a regular PTT-flip-phone, but has windows mobile. Then they building this beast, which has a full keyboard, but its still based on the antique iden interface. I want a querty keyboard, and windows mobile interface. OR why cant they just take the moto Q with its greats interface, and bring it to IDEN. You have no idea how crippling my bb 7100i is without SMS or MMS.

You can just press and start throwing up words if you wish, but what you normally do, is one press/tap to the PTT button and that will send an alert to the other party, that will see it, and upon pressing the PTT will go "Yo, what's up?" or something hahaa Also, at least on IDEN technology, you initiate a conversation by alerting someone.

So unless you're in a really noisy place, you can hear someone when they try to get your attention. Yeah, the PTT conversations use the speakerphone, not the earpiece.

I've never really got this whole PTT thing... How does one start a conversation for example? Do you just assume that the other party has the phone glued to their ear at all times, or is there a specific conversation initiation process? It hasn't really taken off in little old NZ, possibly due to a lack of understanding? Or maybe I'm just special! :) Any clues, anyone? So..
