The difference is walkie talkies are less expensive than a cell phone. Also walkie talkies came back maybe in the 70s or 80s, even though people have been upgrading then with better frequency and digital pictures and formats. An a cell phone can text and sent pictures to friends too. A cell phone can do many different things to connect with friends and family. You can also connect to the internet aswelll.

A set of Walkie Talkies needs direct radio signal contact between the units.

a Cellphone relies on there being numerous "cells" wíth which each phone (independently) have contact and these cells can be very far away from each other as long as there is a network or system of cell repeaters that connect the terminal cells.

Walkie Talkies are usually single duplex and require" push to talk" so only one party can transmit at a time; cell phones are full duplex so both parties can talk simultaneously.

A walkie talkie is a hand-held radio that allows you to spak directly to another radio tuned to the same frequency, and within a limited distance--typically a few miles. A cell phone connects your call from the nearest relay station to the telephone network, allowing you to talk to someone with a telephone (cell or land line) anywhere on the telephone grid.

What replaced the walkie talkie?

Although walkie talkies have "evolved" into different categories such as business radios which are still used today, I would say cell phones, and especially Push-To-Talk cell phones have taken over the walkie talkie's position.

What is the most important part about a walkie talkie?

I believe the most important part of the walkie-talkie is the batteries you use and the quality of the walkie-talkie. If you do not have good batteries, you can not use it for very long. If you have a cheap walkie-talkie, you won't get a good signal or range.

I dropped your walkie talkie in the toilet since you didnt flush will it still work when its wet?

The walkie talkie may work depending on its properties. If the battery of the walkie talkie is damaged then it is not going to work. I would recommend that you attempt to dry the walkie talkie as quickly as possible. In most cases, the walkie talkie should still work due to the plastic insulation.
