No PTT here either, unfortunately.
You imagined it I'm afraid.

I have a Dick Smith Electronics Walkie Talkie which I occasianlly use for work.
It's an awkward, inconvenient thing to use, I'd much rather have PTT.
So would my Boss, unfortunately Vodafones PTT network is in it's infancy in NZ.

How does PTT work exactly? Is it location-specific or can you contact anyone on your network?

As I understand it... You buy a PTT capable mobile, then contact your Network provider and tell them you want to sign up to PTT.
They alter your plan and add the monthly charges for PTT services.
You are then able to send and recieve PTT messages 'walkie talkie style', to and from other people on your network, who have a PTT capable phone and who are also signed up to PTT services.
It's not a completely open forum though, only those you specify will recieve your message.
I've not tried it, but we may get it at work in the future, network permitting.

@BlueQuill, no... PTT (push to talk) is like a 2 way radio... or a walkie talkie... but its your phone. you can make calls and everything, but then you have a button on the side, and you have a special number (atleast inthe US its a special number then i have a number that looks like this... 156*3225--*12 where the stars actually represent the star onthe phone and the -- represents the alst digits of my number)... but you scroll to the person in your phonebook, and push the button, and you can talk right away. the person doesnt have to pick up or anything... and you can only talk if you push the button... when you let go, the other person cant hear you... exactly liek a walkie talkie... so its a walkie talkie and a phone haha idk bad explination but i tried
