Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Both Dan and I couldn’t get enough of this Iridium Satellite Phone that I’ve been sent for the Desert Island feature.

It doesn’t matter how much you look at your top of the range Nokia or fancy iPhone, the Iridium handset knocks everything else for six.

It works. Anywhere. Nice.

Dude - PROPER James Bond stuff... that rocks.

So that's a good Motorola review from SMSTextNews then?

<looks up, scans for Porcine Aviation>

Now PROPER James Bond stuff would be a mobile-size phone with satellite coverage, not something you could play ping-pong with....

....although the phone does need to communicate with a satellite that's at least 400 miles away moving at 17,000MPH. The call handoff algorithm required is literal rocket science. Maybe T-Mo could benefit from their input ;-)

@nokiamobiletalk I'm usually Blackberry Bold, T-Mobile G1 (especially in the States) and testing the Nokia N97 at the mo

@patphelan heh hope you're having a good sunday. Time for some steak, I think.

@patphelan if you standby, I'll need to phone Ewan and pass on y our message. I'm one of Ewan's 300-strong ghost Twitter writing team. ;-)

@_netromworld_ that's a difficult choice... the iPhone 3GS is still a total delight to use -- and the camera is much, much improved...

@ilana could be good research for the next book though

@patphelan Ewan says hello

@nokiamobiletalk I had one for about a year -- still have it somewhere -- reliable if a little slow at times, good battery

@carlmartin wouldn't it be interesting if that arse was reading your tweets whilst sat opposite you? ;-)

@bensmithuk d'ya reckon folk are more likely to type in 'mobile industry review' into google? Rather than put the URL on it?
