Nobody calls it that but real radio people.  I've slung this crap for five years and never heard it referred to on the street or in the office as PTT.  I've always called it the Big Button so as to not confuse new users.

I loved the recommendation that the radio industry start using PHD as in "push hear dummy."  While were at it, let's trademark the BFB as in Big Fuggin Button.

Then Nextel will be left to toil with arcane and antiquated trademarks and the real hipsters will have PHD's & BFB's.

The only referernce I've seen to the PTT acronym is in the manual to the handset.  Push-to-Talk and PTT are not colloquial terms.  And believe me, customers don't read the manual.  They call the sales rep.
