I take issue with the "virtually anywhere you see the sky" thing. If you look at their map http://www.globalstarusa.com/en/content.php?cid=300 you'll see that most land masses are covered, but for trans-oceanic stuff it's absolutely useless. Also the better part of africa is not covered (which is where you'd really need a sat phone over anything else).

I personally own an Iridium 9500. Okay..it's not as small as the Globalstar phones, and it's just as expensive (if not more). But if I'm gona buy a "world phone" I want it to actually work anywhere....literally anywhere
