Kyocera Wireless to launch PTP phone

Kyocera Wireless said Tuesday that it has joined the growing number of manufacturers producing cell phones with a walkie-talkie feature known informally as "push to talk.", reports News.com. "The phones will make a debut early next year".

"Kyocera Wireless is entering an increasingly crowded market for handsets that feature push-to-talk features. Motorola has been selling push-to-talk handsets for a decade. Nokia recently introduced its first push-to-talk handset, the 5140, and said all of its phones will feature push to talk by 2005. Sources said handset maker Siemens also intends to introduce push-to-talk phones in the next few months".
