Regarding usage of G* phones inside of cars. There was a
T.V. special a few weeks ago that dealt with the power level
of (analog) cellular phones. As it turns out when you use
your cell phone inside a (metal) automobile the base-station
tells the phone to boost its power level to compensate for
the attenuated signal that it is receiving. There's also
the question of whether it would be necessary to boost the
power of the satellite transmitter (probably too expensive).
Perhaps automobiles should be equipped with a jack in the
dashboard whereby one can connect the cell/satellite phone
to an external antenna -- fewer dropped calls -- less brain cancer.... :-)

Regards,
