all the sprintpcs phones i've seen with this feature, actually use the cdma hybrid, which is fancy data trickery, thus if roaming expect delays/glitches. the only time it's useful is when in a team environment and the other person doesn't have to 'pick up' your audio just comes thu. but then again with improved conference calling, that would be better anyway thanks to duplex.
Ident was great cuz you could do direct phone to phone without a tower nearby. but the fcc has been trying to shut down that frequency for a long time, but somehow.. 'nextel' and/or Motorola seem to keep getting extensions.
