A wireless handset is provided with enhanced features and capabilities. The
wireless handset may be embodied as a full-featured handset that is
capable of operating either within a wireless network (such as a cellular
or PCS network) or in a direct handset-to-handset communication mode that
is independent of the wireless network. Alternatively, the wireless
handset may be embodied as a special purpose handset, that is capable of
simply operating in a direct handset-to-handset communication mode. The
wireless handset may additionally include features for supporting and
enhancing direct communication between handsets. Such features may include
a find feature that permits a user to determine which objects, including
other wireless handset users, are located within a predetermined operating
range of the wireless handset. A memorize feature may also be provided to
permit handsets and other objects exchange information by wireless
transmission.
