Thanks for all the fast replies. The only hitch in my idea is finding a voip or voice client for the blackberry that is not designed to make cheapy phone calls, but that can work like a walkie talkie, either full duplex or half duplex.
Any one know of a blackberry app that can work like that? Skype for the blackberry has to work thru a desktop like a remote.
