Verizon Wireless, the largest wireless telecommunications network in the United States has just launched a brand new push to talk phone: the Verizon Wireless CDM8975, which was said to be immediately available for purchase via business sales channels. At least for the moment.

The device was developed by Personal Communications Devices (also known as PCD), being provided with an industrial clamshell shilhouette. The phone looks rather simple, as you can see in the picture below and it’s the newest member of the push to talk (which you may know also as PTT) phones family, joining other similar handsets such as Motorola Adventure V750 or G’zOne Boulder).



As far as the features are concerned, the Verizon Wireless CDM8975 comes equipped with the following specs: EV-DO Rev. A connectivity, Verizon Navigator support with access to audible turn-by-turn maps, Bluetooth technology, a 1.3 megapixel digital camera which is provided with video recording capabilities, voice command, voice dialing, stereo speaker, dedicated Push to Talk and speakerphone button, V Cast Music with Rhapsody support, V Cast Video service and an internal memory that can be expanded through a microSD card of up to 8 GB (which is not included in the package).



The phone comes with a bilingual interface, for English and Spanish people, measuring 3.7 x 1.9 x 0.8 inches and weighing approximately 3.2 ounces.

The Verizon Wireless CDM8975 can be purchased for $99.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate, but for this price you’ll have to sign a two-year contract agreement. Another thing that you should know is the fact that the rebate will be received by every customer in the form of a debit card. As I said earlier, the phone is available for the moment only through business sales channels, but it is expected to start selling online and in Verizon stores. March 9th is the release date.
