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

It’s just launched and it’s the smallest, lightest handset that Iridium have ever offered.

As I found out when I tested one of their other older handsets earlier this summer, there ain’t nothing better than a Sat Phone. It puts your average top of the range Nokia to shame through sheer connectivity power. I really, really like the fact you can get service anywhere. Absolutely anywhere… as long as you can see the sky. Very reassuring.

Here’s a vid of the 9555:

Ah, a Nokia 2110. In the end we go back to where we started. So much for progress. Looking forward to an 8800!

Looks more like an old Ericsson from around '96

@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?
