The Iridium phone is more like $4500 to $5000 if one wanted all the options, and it is hopelessly complex to use. There are many websites with pricing. Adding in the cassettes for CDMA or GSM really runs up the price. In their desparation, deals as good as buy 2, get 8 free have been offered. But that's another story.

G*'s phone will have an unsubsidized cost of $800-1100. Demand is perceived to be so high initially that distributors and resellers have asked if they can charge up to $1600. That is up to them. There are no opyions like an Iridium phone(cellular cassettes). The Qualcomm phone comes with 800 Mhz CDMA, AMPS, and G*. That's all you need. The Telital and Ericsson phones will have GSM and G* modes. That's all you need. Options will be things like batteries, car kits, headsets, etc.
