Cingular goes live with push-to-talk

So Cingular is finally rolling out their push-to-talk service, after a slight delay. Interestingly they're only offering one phone, the LG F7200, but Samsung's D357 is on the way, so don't go moping about. The service interface looks inviting, with an IM style buddy list and fairly easy to use group calling, plus you can easily switch over to cellular mode and spare everyone the agony of an overheard PTT conversation. It's still $9.99 when added onto a nation plan, and $19.99 for setting up your family talk plan with the service, other than that it's just your average PTT service, minus a lame catch phrase.
