    I never quite understood why the data access was /so/ slow - isn't it like 9600bps or something?

    But yes, you're right. I want one. What do they cost to run?

    I bet it only works it slightly cheaper than Vodafone :-D

    Don't you mean "You'll look like a man with one of these in your pocket"

    ;-)

    Q: does it pass the Top Gear cool test? i.e. would Kirsten Scott-Thomas be impressed?

    If she wanted to call her mother from my yacht in the middle of the Med,
    then yeah.

    Cool would be using it to deliver the ma-in-law some flowers. Keep her on-side for when chicken soup is needed.

    Would you really want to be sitting off the Cote d'Azure on a yacht with K S-T lounging about gossiping to her MUM?

    Once again, just because you *can* doesn't mean you *should*...
    You have a strange idea of a holiday....

    Well my wife spent a good amount of time nattering away to her mother on the
    Satphone as she walked about the deck of our Maldivian Villa. And she loved
    me for it. So the lesson there: Always buy a sat phone.
