Question
I have a at%26t blackberry world edition with push to talk button can you flash it to boost?
All of AT&T's BlackBerrys are international capatible. They don't offer a "World Edition" (that's a Verizon and Sprint term). If the device is an 8800, 8300, 8310, 8320, new BOLD, new Curve, and is branded with AT&T, you cannot do anything with it to make it work with Boost Mobile. They are not compatible. The Push-to-Talk on an AT&T device is a feature, it is not walkie-talkie like Boost or Nextel. These are very different features. Boost uses iDEN and CDMA technology, AT&T is GSM. The Push-to-Talk doesn't make these compatible. I hope this helps. Thanks. DebiN
