A Nifty New Wireless Application From Bell Canada
I just found this on the BCE website:
Bell Canada Pushes Button on its Wireless Walkie-Talkie Service and Says "10-4, Good Buddy"
Consumers and Families to Benefit from Virtually Instant Connections Across Canada, Unlimited Long-Distance Calling and Advanced Data Services
MONTREAL, March 16 -- Bell Canada today announced Bell Mobility has launched "10-4," its wireless walkie talkie-style service that delivers virtually instant communication between users with the push of a button, and without long distance charges. With 10-4, a wireless handset works as both a walkie talkie and a traditional cell phone.
Bell Mobility's 10-4 service is unique in supporting advanced data services, like messaging, gaming and mobile Internet browsing on the most feature-rich CDMA-based push to talk (PTT) handsets available in Canada. Additionally, up to five Bell Mobility 10-4 subscribers can speak with each other at one time, anywhere across the Bell Mobility IX digital network, or on the Sprint network in the U.S.

Cool application, will have to wait and see what consumer reaction is to this but no long-distance charges, wow!
