After months of Nextel denouncing others Push-To-Talk solution for CDMA  & GSM
and promoting their own $100 Million alliance with Q-Com on a CDMA Push-To-Talk
solution. Motorola  slaps  Nextel  in the face with a deal to buy Winphoria's
packet-based Push-To-Talk solution.

Nextel is steamed over the deal and this is sure to impact the Moto/ Nextel love
relationship.
The $100 Million Q-Com /Nextel  deal was a failed attempt by Timmy and Bubbling
Barry to block competitors from offering a CDMA Push-To-Talk solution that they
did not control.

All I can say is......

"Beep, Beep ......Timmy Can You Hear me Now?"
