Why do those Nextel cellphones make that silly squirting sound?
Is it a status thing? I wouldn't know.
I'm just trying to understand what the thinking is. Is it, "I want all around me to know in advance that someone is talking to me, and that I am talking to them. It's important to me."
Seems like it's always guys who have these devices. Are women turned on by this sound?
I won't reject a sensible explanation for this goofy phenomenon. |

I believe it is the sound that the direct connect (or walkie talkie) function makes versus the regular ring tone. |

I can give you a goofy explanation for your sensible phenomenon... The sound is the guys mating call for horny woman... 
PS: It's really the sound of the two-way radio signal hitting the repeater... |

So what's the point of the walkie talkie function? Users always seem to be holding the thing up to their ear, then their mouth, then back to the ear, each movement accompanied by the squirty sound. Why not just talk on a cellphone?
On the other hand, if chicks dig the sound, then maybe I'll buy one.
No. Reject wireless aphrodisiac devices in 2006. |

"Why not just talk on a cellphone?"
...it's nation-wide and a free service along with the cell phone service with Nextel, that's why. |

Now now, try to stay calm.
Incidentally, Las, do you have Nextel? I don't, but I'm willing to switch. |

Don't switch, Case. I like you just as you are. |

Ugh, my husband has it for work purposes, as does my brother. I hate it. As least my husband doesn't get offended when I give him glaring looks when he uses it. My brother gets angry at me. I feel like I'm hanging out with truckers.  |

I still don't understand the advantage of walkie talkie vs. cellphone.
OK, maybe if you're operating heavy equipment at a noisy construction site. But on the Midtown direct? At Roman Gourmet? While on line at King's? |

walkie talkie you don't have to dial. |
