The Redundancy of Sprint’s Push-To-Talk

Many users have been complaining about the functionality of Push-To-Talk, an application available on Sprint network, some are confused about the true function of this feature, they wonder if it is tied to carrier or tied to application since it appears not to speak to anybody.

 Another ugly issue is the fact that since acquiring Nextel Sprint hasn't been able to duplicate

the Nextel Direct Connect service which gains more popularity among the people.

Recently, Sprint announced the availability of Push-To-Talk in additional 14 markets which increases the count of markets where their service is available to 46. Meanwhile, the folks at Palringo point out the absurdity of this. Their push-to-talk software is carrier-agnostic. If you've got a Windows PC, a Mac running Leopard,Windows Mobile handset or Symbian S60 3rd Edition FP1 or FP2 handset, you can run the Palringo client.

 Palringo gives more than Push-To-Talk because you can also IM with folks on the networks pictured here. All for free. Well, except for the data charges, of course.
