Later this year, those Sprint customers who are looking for the benefits of push to talk services along with the power of BlackBerry smartphones will be seeing a new version of the combination.

Research In Motion and Sprint announced plans to bring the BlackBerry Curve 8350i, which is the newest Nextel Direct Connect capable BlackBerry, by 08’s end.

Principal Analyst with analyst firm In-Stat, David Chamberlain, had this to say: “Smart phones in general, and BlackBerry products in particular, have become more important to both business people and consumers lately. The BlackBerry Curve 8350i with PTT capability rounds out Sprint’s options to fill communications needs of many industries particularly those in the blue-collar segment of construction, field services, transportation and manufacturing.”
