Isatphone
Inmarsat has brought out a new handheld satphone aimed to compete with the popular Thuraya models.
The Isatphone is a dual-mode satellite/GSM phone also capable of data use at 2400bps (satellite) and 9600bps (GSM). With these specs I don’t see it comparing that favourably to the Thurayas, especially the newer models such as the SG-2520, but it’s always good to have more competition and choice in this already narrow market.
