Push-To-Talk

So, what's up with all these handset makers (e.g. Sony Ericsson, Nokia, Motorola) bragging about Push-To-Talk technology in their handsets when consumers CANNOT use these features anyway. It's just like the Wireless Village initiative. Not everyone knows about it, yeah I know about this thing and so as a handful of my techie friends, but the important thing is, the mass market knows about these features. Yeah, it's exciting to know that these features exist, and they exist in todays market, but without the networks supporting them, these features are of no use to anyone. Good thing for Wireless Village, a company called Yamigo opened servers for Wireless Village capable phone owners to use. The funny thing is, not everyone knows about it. Ideally, it will be a lot advantageous for the subscribers to use these services since it'll be cheaper than the usual airtime charges. But then again, maybe this is the same reason the networks are not pushing for it hehehe. To cap this, let me tell you, check your phone's manual, if it says it's capable of the said features, then USE IT!
