Verizon Wireless to Offer Walkie-Talkie

Verizon Wireless Inc., the largest U.S. mobile telephone carrier, will begin selling a walkie-talkie phone as early as next month, marking the first such challenge to Nextel Communications Inc., said people familiar with the matter.

Verizon Wireless will sell Motorola Inc.’s V60p phone and one model from South Korea’s Samsung Electronics Co.
