- Cue the Nextel flashbacks... Samsung Electronics (OTC:SSNLF) and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) are bringing back Push to Talk technology with the Galaxy XCover Pro.
- The smartphone features a button that initiates a chat using Microsoft's Teams app and is being marketed to firstline workers.
- "It reduces licensing and provisioning costs, and it's one less device for the employee to carry," said Emma Williams, Microsoft's corporate vice president for Office verticals.
