Push to Talk is a technology which enables you to talk in walkie-talkie style with others. Push and hold the ptt button on a contact and speak. Your voice will be sent to the receiver directly and he'll hear it directly without getting any call. You can even send your voice to multiple receipient at the same time. Although all this sounds fun, it is seriously impractical in India. First of all only hutch provides ptt service in india. Only few handsets support this service. You need to have gprs activated. On top of that you must activate ptt service separately (if you don't have gprs activated, it'll automatically get activated upon activating ptt as ptt data is sent over gprs). Similarly the receiving person(s) should also have ptt enabled handset with ptt service enabled. On top of that hutch charges ridiculous rates for ptt. When you calculate all this its easier and cheaper to just call.

wats the use of ptt over bt man.. 10 mtr ke range me to baat kar hi sakta hai na

^^ PTT will not work over bluetooth. It needs gprs and that too you have to activate special ptt service if your service provider supports it. It needs special settings which needs to obtained from service provider and saved in the handset.
Btw why do you need ptt to work over bluetooth. With the current range available in cell phones for bluetooth (10m), wouldn't it be better if you just talked face to face with the other person???

Hey no PPT in India yet. So no use of it. T-Mobile launched it in Germany. Its cool. And as fer PPT over BT is concerned you can use BT Messenger (Java). Or use other apps like mig33(My fev) or mxit(not sure) or reporo. Try www.getjar.com to get or more details about these applications. They all are Java apps for mobile.
