Verizon’s upcoming PTT plans

Push To Talk may be a niche technology, but it certainly has a devoted army of followers. Hoping to bring a few more converts into the fold, Verizon appears poised to launch the next generation of the instant-access technology. The next-gen technology boasts faster connection times utilizing EV-DO Rev. A and a more robust feature set. Sprint has already rolled out their Qchat service, but Verizon’s plans have been a bit unclear until now. A newly leaked document indicates that the carrier intends to launch its very own next-generation Push To Talk service by the end of May. The initial rollout will be accompanied by two new handsets, the Motorola V750 and the Casio G’zOne c711. Both handsets sport the requisite EV-DO Rev. A radios, as well as GPS, Bluetooth, and a bit of onboard memory. No word on pricing for the handsets or feature, but expect details to show up shortly.

    Hahaha I’m not really a spammer, but I want this thing to have great software, and I know there are a lot of people on BGR who might actually like this - It is called Livescribe. And, unlike most pens, it seems like it would be very interesting to a lot of people lol… go to livescribe.com if you want, its really cool, and just became public today! Hooray! hahahah. Anyways, the reason I’m excited is because the pen is sick! Haha, I probably sound like an infomercial. Thanks for looking!

    Jack, post about the blog entry subject or your a spammer.

    Thank you RIM for not putting RevA radios in the CDMA blackberry’s! If you had put in RevA, they could have been compatible with Qchat by just a software patch. But we know you RIM, you only care about carriers, not end users.
