- Motorola Debut i865 (Boost Mobile)

- Motorola Clutch has QWERTY smartphone style, PTT, military-grade toughness, no contract [review]

- Why pay $100 or more each month for a two-year cell phone contract when you can pay $50 and keep yourself off the hook? At least that's the thinking behind the latest ad campaign by Boost Mobile, a prepaid, or "no-contract," mobile service provider whose parent company...

But Verizon Wireless does offer very good push-to-talk devices, such as the rugged Verizon Wireless G'zOne Boulder and the more recent Motorola Adventure. If you prefer a more compact push-to-talk...
