Sprint has launched the first push-to-talk BlackBerry in the form of the BlackBerry Curve 8350i, sporting iDEN technology on Nextel Direct Connect. Adding push to talk capability is especially appealing to some enterprise and small business customers who rely on the feature to utiize phones as two-way radios to coordinate teams around a job site and in time-critical operations.
"The BlackBerry Curve 8350i smartphone is the most recent example of our solid commitment to iDEN technology and our Nextel Direct Connect customers," said Nextel Direct president Danny Bowman, in a statement. "The BlackBerry Curve 8350i smartphone is designed for customers who require instant convenient push-to-talk services to communicate with friends and family as well as with employees, customers and suppliers."
