This phone sucks, for it does not support GSM-Sims any more - how would one roam on Globalstar while there is no way to register your GSM-Sim?
Sucks even more, as it does not support SMS-MO, meaning one can not send Text FROM the phone. Just receive. And do not even dare to think about add-on features like MMS or WAP...
And, sucks most of all, they droped the cellular part of the phone. Therefore you'll never receive any call while indoors. Nope...
Best choice is Thuraya. Apart from heading for global coverage, they even now cover most of Africa and Asia (where satellite-coverage is REALLY useful).
Apart from the SO-2510 (which is REALLY the smallest and lightest satellite phone!) you can get the SO-2520, which still weights less than the GSP-1700, runs windows mobile and supports multimedia-feature. Not to mention the build-in camera, and quadband-GSM. Who the hell goes for Globalstar???
