No PTT?

I guess the fact that this new model appears to have no PTT button says a lot about Verizon's intentions WRT PTT service.

It does have a large "tactile key" on the left, below the volume rocker. It's a shortcut to the app of your choice; the default is the Glove Mode app.

It looks like a PTT key, although I'm not sure the phone supports that service at the moment.
