Well, I got the update this morning and enable calling.
It was on the app on my phone, but not on the website (yet). I haven't had a chance to try it yet as I don't have an Echo at work, but there didn't seem to be a setting on my individual devices, only the whole account so I think that a call to my account would just ring all of my Echos, and I can answer from whichever one I happen to be near.
The app itself seems to have undergone a major overhaul, and is even less intuitive (to me) than it was before; it does, however seem to be a little faster.
There is a cartoon balloon icon on the bottom that calls up the new calling feature, but I haven't been able to figure out how to activate the contacts list or the drop in feature. It says the contact list uses my phone's address list, but I don't know how it knows if a contact has an Echo, or if they do is the calling feature enabled.
I've been asking Jeff's folks about an intercom feature from the very beginning, and it appears that they have been diligently working on it. I hope it works out.
