We don't even have a keyboard shortcut to do that. We have to pull the menu open, scroll down to "Send voice note" and click. Then there is a very strict time limit. Finally, press "Send". HipVoice has none of that, you just press the PTT button, speak and release it. And the time limit is a lot longer. Also, you can have groups in HipVoice. Several people may take part in a conversation. Availability on multiple platforms is also quite an advantage. BBM is not convenient for voice messaging at all.

So if that is a requirement then I guess it would be a good solution.

Go look at the phones the various carriers offer with PTT capability. Pretty sparse. I agree though, for the average consumer this is a steep price to pay for a capability that can be ALMOST had for free. For a business that has scads of BlackBerry deployed this could be really cool if there's bulk licensing available. Lot's of people want BlackBerry models and carrier coverage beyond the 8350i that Nextel offers on iDEN.

Your have bbm that does this and palringo has PTT too. Both are free. 10 bucks a month is steep for this app! Then you have to sell this to your friends so you can talk to them.Do you really think your friends are up to dishing out another 10 dollars a month. I think this is stupid.
