Inmarsat IsatPhone 2 Satellite Phone
Night and day comparing to previous version: very fast network connection, excellent sound quality, reliable service.<br />I'm using Inmarsat for my hiking trips in NC and GA mountains, and short of being in a cave, I usually can get reliable connection everywhere. Device itself is just perfect: very sturdy, rugged, nice looking and easy to use. Has all usual / necessary features, and long, looooong battery life: no modern cellphones last 6+ days ( ! ). Can't be happier.
