I tried Verizon's at one point and found ridiculous delays, and low voice quality.Nextel is the de-facto standard.Hmmm, so only Nextel can "wiretap"???Time to ditch Nextel then...Secure voice scramblers are commercially available...I'm sure the Israelis have...

- Motorola Barrage (Verizon Wireless)
- Photo gallery:Motorola BarrageMotorola has a long history of creating durable cell phones, but with the occasional exception, they've ended up at Nextel. As we've long encouraged Moto to spread the rugged love, we were glad to see it launch the Motorola Barrage for Verizon Wireless. So named (or so we...

- Motorola Debut i865 (Boost Mobile)
- Most iDEN push-to-talk phones are quite bulky, and come in either a clamshell or candy bar form factor. The Motorola Debut for Boost Mobile, however, bucks that trend. It is the first ever iDEN push-to-talk phone to come in a slider design, which gives it a rather svelte appearance. Aside...

- Motorola Clutch has QWERTY smartphone style, PTT, military-grade toughness, no contract [review]
- The Motorola Clutch is a fascinating hybrid of a phone. At first glance, it looks much like a BlackBerry smartphone: it's got a full QWERTY keyboard and its profile is a bit of a hybrid between that and a candybar phone -- meaning...

- In an economic downturn, prepaid mobile is big business
- 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...

- Motorla Clutch i425 (Boost Mobile)
- Photo gallery:Motorola Clutch i425If you like Nextel's features, but can't afford the services plans, you'd be wise to consider Boost Mobile. Sort of a Sprint Nextel younger brother, Boost offers similar phones and services at a cheaper price. And now with the new Motorola Clutch i425, Boost also gets its...

- Samsung SGH-A657 (AT&T)
- The market for rugged phones remains relatively small, but it shows no signs of waning. For a long time Sprint and Nextel had a monopoly on sturdy designs--Sprint with Sanyo models and Nextel with Motorola handsets--but other carriers have begun to catch up. Last fall, AT&T offered its second...

- Verizon Wireless CDM8975
- When we think of push-to-talk phones, we admit that we usually think of phones from Nextel rather than Verizon Wireless. 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...

- Motorola Tundra VA76r (AT&T)
- Though it added the Samsung Rugby to its lineup last fall, AT&T hasn't carried a huge selection of rugged phones. That's why we were glad to see the Motorola Tundra VA76r make its debut at CES 2009. In many ways the Tundra is a Nextel phone wrapped up in an...

- Motorola i576 - black (Sprint)
- It's rare that you'd confuse a Nextel phone for another carrier's handset. Indeed, Nextel models such as the Motorola i576 tend to have a functional, industrial design that's built for usability and durability rather than sex appeal. Granted, there has been the occasional exception, but most of the time...

- Photo gallery:Motorola i776At the fall CTIA show in September, Sprint assured us that it was not forgetting its Nextel fans. The carrier promised that by the end of the year it would release four iDEN-only phones for the push-to-talk-loving masses. We've already reviewed the Motorola i365, we're still waiting for...

- Motorola i365 - black (Nextel)
- If there ever was a Nextel phone, the Motorola i365 would be it. Big, burly, and bulky, the i365 looks as if it could withstand just about anything. Make no mistake: this is a serious phone for making voice and push-to-talk PTT calls. There's no camera or music player, and...

- Samsung Z400 - black (Sprint Nextel)
- Photo gallery:Samsung Z400Though Sprint Nextel has been a combined company for three years, the carrier has pursued a rather circuitous post-merger strategy. At first, the carrier said it would move all voice calls to Sprint's CDMA technology, while keeping Nextel's iDEN network for push-to-talk communication. But when customers failed...
