After watching from the sidelines for the past decade as Nextel pioneered and dominated the walkie talkie/cell phone combo market, Cingular has decided to try it out. NEW YORK – Cingular Wireless, the biggest U.S. mobile phone service, plans Monday to introduce a walkie-talkie feature aimed at stealing customers from Sprint Nextel Corp., currently the leader in that market. Cingular, the wireless venture of AT&T Inc. and BellSouth Corp. is the last of the big three U.S. mobile providers to offer the feature, which was popularized by Nextel Communications, now part of Sprint Nextel.
