Find Out Who’s Calling You
The next time the phone rings and the number’s not in your phonebook, the aptly named CallerID application will tell you who’s calling.
After downloading and installing, you choose country code and service provider for the reverse lookup. From there, you can tweak other settings such as auto-start, react to your stylus pull and how you want your newly found contacts saved.
The next time your phone rings, you’ll know who exactly is calling you. The application is still new and needs some work a great start nonetheless.
I’d recommend you autostart this application only if you have a high-speed data connection as it needs to access a server when a call comes in do the lookup.
That’s not to say those on the slower EDGE/GPRS network would find this useless because you can still use the application to find out who that missed call numbers belong to.
Another cool feature I found is that the application relies on the a server which allows the developer to easily add more countries and service providers without having users to install a newer version of the software.
Head over here to download the application. Be sure to share your findings with the developer so he can improve it.

Will this work at all for those of us on EDGE? I was under the impression that you couldn’t make a phone call while using data services, and vice-versa. I’d be concerned that either it’d drop the call while it was looking up the number, or the call would prevent it from doing the lookup…
Well I am on EDGE on the Touch HD and it does show the details when a call comes in but I suppose it would work on 3G. For those on EDGE, you can still use this to look up numbers easily instead of going to a website.
