Verizon Wireless has a brand new Push-to-Talk cell phone for the masses today – the Verizon Wireless CDM8975. This handset is developed by the lesser known Personal Communications Devices, LLC, and will take its place among the pantheon of Verizon Wireless’ robust line-up of Push to Talk handsets which offer a speedy two-way communication method for a more efficient and quicker way of getting the job done. It will come in an industrial clamshell design, so don’t bother trying to impress the ladies with it. A Vertu this is not, but at least it is functional and feature-rich for its class without breaking the bank. You will be able to access Verizon Wireless’ Push-to-Talk service as well as take advantage of VZ Navigator to access audible turn-by-turn maps, directions and millions of data points whenever you’re in unfamiliar territory. Other features include :-

• Dedicated Push to Talk and speakerphone button
• Bluetooth technology
• V CAST Music with Rhapsody-capable
• V CAST Video
• SMS/MMS support
• Phonebook with up to 500 entries
• Push to Talk phonebook
• microSD memory card slot

You will be able to pick up the Verizon Wireless CDM8975 for $99.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate and agreeing to a new two-year contract.
