    So that's a good Motorola review from SMSTextNews then?

    <looks up, scans for Porcine Aviation>

    Now PROPER James Bond stuff would be a mobile-size phone with satellite coverage, not something you could play ping-pong with....

    ....although the phone does need to communicate with a satellite that's at least 400 miles away moving at 17,000MPH. The call handoff algorithm required is literal rocket science. Maybe T-Mo could benefit from their input ;-)
