The reverse is possible only for certain types of calls. Features of the phone include a large color main display, an external display, speakerphone, eight-way navigation, and PTT (push-to-talk). Although the prototype approved by the FCC operates only on GSM networks, FCC documents reveal that the final model will support all three major types of Wi-Fi (802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11a), as well as quad-band GSM."</i><br /><br />Now here's an interesting phone! It's not a Windows Mobile phone, but the hardware is impressive - we've been hearing about technology such as this (seamless network hand-offs) for years, but it's fantastic to see Motorola bringing it to market. Now I want <i>this</i> in a Smartphone! :D
