Apparently, Sprint has announced Push to Talk in another 14 markets, increasing 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 you more than push-to-talk, you can also IM with folks on the networks pictured here. All for free. Well, except for the data charges, of course.
If you're going to do push-to-talk, carrier-agnostic is the way to go. Unfortunately, this solution isn't handset agnostic, but then again, very little is.

I really have never been a big fan of the Nextel push to talk, but would consider giving this a try. You never know unless you give it a shot.

Love the idea that you can also IM for free! That in itself is a deal breaker for me.

i know a lot of the old nextel push-to-talk users. contrary to what you read in the media they used(and used a lot) push-to-talk for one reason. IT WAS FREE!!! and in network calls depleted minutes. sprint(and verizon and AT&T) already had free mobile-to-mobile calls and therefore no attraction to their versions of push-to-talk.
