Now that is awesome! If it's as good as NExtel, then the rush is on!

Other cerriers?

I wonder if this feature has been specifically developed for Orange, or if it's part of the Treo 600 base software and can be rolled out to different carriers.

A patched version of the Kodiak client has been floating around for months already and NO, it does not work on other Treo 600's like the CDMA Sprint version. It just caused the Treo to reset into an infinite loop. Also, it only works via other Kodiac client enabled handsets and you also have to get a subscription and account with Kodiak servers...

At least it shows us what can be done with the Treo. Maybe an aftermarket developer will create something (monthly service, maybe) that extends the service to users of other, US GSM networks?

Funny you should post this tonight. I'm trying to eat dinner out tonight at a fairly nice place and I can hear a few tables away some numbskull using that annoying Nextel service on SPEAKERPHONE with that annoying Star Trek sound going off and on. I stood up a few times and looked around but each time I did, the sound disappeared and I could not find him. It's no wonder I hate people.

If you find him I hope you GUT him. Two words: Justifiable homicide.
