Remove the majority of headsets, replace them with PDAs

[Frank_Stein]

Headsets could be more or less a wireless earpiece thing where it interfaces with the PDA so you can hear and speak into it without the PDA needing to be in your hand. Course, that's just like how headsets work already. Maybe let the headset plug into the station-bounced radios if you lose your PDA.

So! More in line with your smartphone PDA idea, what about giving the PDA the ability to call other crewmembers in addition to sending text messages? You'd ring someone, and as long as they dont hang up, you can talk to them with a fancy radio prefix. And conference calls, and cant-come-to-the-phone-leave-a-message-after-the-honk recordings, and obnoxious ringtones too.

This is also a good idea, if not only for the idea you might get a call from someone you know and then have a spooky voicechanger guy talking to you on the other line. Also making PDA's attachable components for phone bombs. 

A distinct chat color/font for calls would be nice

This would make PDA bombing even more obnoxious. And make ear slots useless.

"New PDA, who dis?"
