New Handsets next week Cong, I'm offering double your money back guarantees on successful launches. So you can be certain that ALL Globalstar launches will be successful [just send me the money]. Meanwhile, Mika in Q thread: ------------------------------------------------------------------ To: brian h (30409 ) From: Mika Kukkanen ( Ignore ) Thursday, May 20 1999 6:14AM ET Reply # of 30416 ...For the Globalstar followers, look out for a new phone coming in the next week or so! Although another phone for a competing satellite system will be announced around the same time. All for now, Mika ------------------------------------------------------------------ Since Mika is thick as thieves with L M Ericsson, I guess this means that there will be a new L M Ericsson handset rolled out next week. Which should be the one they produce in bulk. They need to start production in June to meet the September rollout. I suppose the competing system is Iridium. No matter what handset they bring out, it isn't going to be much use. Globalstar could use smaller, better handsets with an aerial less like the "1812 Overture" model. People will be arrested for using Globalstar handsets [though not in the USA where the right to carry around and use for self-defence 100 round a second armour piercing machine guns shall not be abridged - funnily enough, the constitution was written when the arms which could be borne were front loading muskets, not laser guided 100g rifle fired tactical nuclear warheads]. Maurice {Seriously, the success rates for launches range from 100% failure rate for Zenits carrying Globalstar satellites to 96% overall success rates for some of the systems - which will be used for future launches}
