It appears that G* will have only two prices in most situations--$.70 or $1.00/minute. Two phones now--G*/GSM and G*/AMPS/CDMA. Built-in modem has 7.2Kbps throughput. Talk times(this should get Tero all worked up) are 1 hour max in G* and AMPS mode, 3 hours in CDMA, 2 hours in GSM. Stand by times are 8 to 24 hours. Weight? Perfect for Tero at 350g. Bring a generator! Maurice, I think you are right on when talking about potential customers. The maritime business is huge. Don't forget the government(look at QCOM's latest SEC filing for info pertaining to their work in optimizing G* for government use). There are a lot of holes in cellular coverage in the world also. I think the problem will be too many customers--not too few. Of course, the exception is Korea where I have now learned from reading this thread that economic activity has reached zero Kelvin--absolute zero--no motion. Thus, forget the 34 Korean subscribers that were going to sign up.
