Now we're talking (almost)<g>. Maurice must be lunching with Bernie and Irwin. Get it up and running early (August - do you believe it!). Now, let's see some ads from providers. If that begins to happen, we're on our way. From the Quaclomm web site, I'd conclude the coverage, not the technology, will be emphasized. Exactly the right approach, IMHO. And even if it isn't Maurice's P*ing - cheap pricing (relative to roaming and Iridium) is prominently displayed. No one has seriously questioned whether the consortium had the technolgical expertise to deliver, but now (especially in light of - or maybe because of, Iridium's problems) - they are displaying aggresive salesmanship. Sorry if this is a little rah rah - but I have waited with bated breath to see when and how GSTRF would begin pushing the service. From what I've just seen, I couldn't be happier. Extra terrestrially (by August, anyway) yours, Pierre

Great link, VMan; Very encouraged to see all three phones offered for August delivery at concrete prices. Things are moving ahead! A few questions and quibbles: Who is Americomm? When I clicked on the sales contact links I just got a blank e-mail box. I would have expected an order form or something more structured. I didn't like the price list, e.g. Paris to London, Tokyo to New York; I think they should list prices by country to country, not big city to big city. Anybody in or near one of those places wouldn't be using G* anyway, IMO, and it begs the question of whether the user will get gouged when he's out in the boondocks and really needs the sat service. But, in general it's great to see somebody's really ready to sell a few phones; they look great (I like the Italian one myself), and seem to be priced right (cheaper than we were led to expect, actually) Anybody here placing an order? Regards, RS

I'm having some second thoughts about this web site, and just about decided its a hoax or joke. If the phones were really available to the retail public, I'd think G* and the phone mnfctrs would have made a big PR push; and who is this Americom. The web page could have been cobbled together very easily be anybody; it seems pretty odd that all the phones are essentially the same price, and so cheap relative to what Schwartz has said very recently. Do you think it's legitimate?
