Kinda Misses the Point?

As A Nextel Enthusiast, I Welcome The Competition
Would us Nextel folks have ever gotten nationwide PTT or the new features being introduced on the Pro series phones with Direct Connect otherwise? Probably not.
I still think Nextel DC is the best, but Kodiak is keeping them honest.

How Chatlink works.
Rumor has it that this feature is going to be integrated with the cell phone's GPS for integration with something similar to Helio's Buddy Beacon.
What a scam!
Anyone who pays $5/month for this should get their head examined. I would rather just dial the number instead of asking someone to "join a session".
I can't believe MetroPCS is actually asking their handset providers to support this. Maybe it is just Kyocera, ZTE and Huawei since they need shelf space.
Don't get it
As far as I can tell, all they've done is enable 1980's technology. For an encore, maybe they can figure out a way to play Pong on tv.
