Good God...
 I sure am glad that they made it immediately available for such a relevant phone. I only read the text of the pic, not the link

I'm wondering if it will be supported by other android phones on other carriers or strictly sprint?
Maybe an option to map a physical button for it would be a good idea as well.

I've tried a couple of Android WT apps before to use while my wife was out of the country. Not great service in general. Workable, but not for anything important.
Will most certainly only be for Sprint. I am wondering about international capability and if it will be available on the prepaid side as well. |

Been waiting for years for Sprint to figure out this move. Now make it free and on every.Sprint phone for now on, then Sprint will have a serious differentiating feature, better than unlimited data.

good move BUT i really think they should just put SDC on EVERY PHONE made by sprint..just like nextel did with their phones....that way every one will have ptt.
lets just hope that sprint lock down that app to sprint phones only...just think of the damage it can do if verizon/att/tmobile can DC nextel and sprint!! that would knock sprint right off the road

Will the app distort computer speakers before incoming calls?? I miss that unintended feature on my old Nextel phone.
