Besides a speaker, I see a small text screen.

When I'm pushing info, email works for some comms. But some emails require paragraphs to cover all possible understandings but only a few spoken sentences (bc tonals & instant feedback).

which doesn't work in a "record a message for someone to listen to" format.

Good point but walkie-talkie implies an instant comm ability.

That's a good point; I suppose #1 is the instant comms, and only #2 is voice messages.

I need instant comms in an emergency situation maybe but outside of oncall I don’t see it.

But I’m not a gadget guy and it took me long to adopt smartphones
