    I want to use mine already. By the way, the flap that covers the charge port, you can put two corners of it on the little posts on the bottom of the phone to make sure you don't accidentally pinch it when installing the charger

    Its pretty amazing device, however i feel they could have made the water proofing/ charger situation better.
    Sony's famous Xperia line ( z, z1, z2,z3 etc) all have done it without adding anything to the phone. With a simple built in rubberized hatch protecting the charger.

    Why are satellite phone manufacturers still building phones that look like 1998 phones? How are they not using a more universal charge chord like the USB-c? Even down to the pleather case. Are they anticipating Androids and iPhones to eventually utilize satellite signal so they're less motivated to create something that looks cutting edge?

    • @MrCucamonga1
      @MrCucamonga1 7 месяцев назад

      ​@@maxdippininmylolo6421Here's what I see being a better sat phone;
      1) Touch screen so you can actually see where you are on an app like Google Maps. The infrastructure is already there with low-orbit satellites, so data reception should be possible.
      2) A foldable or rollable solar panel to recharge as needed. Have a low-battery consumption mode to ensure a better recharge.
      I get why Sat phones looked like bricks 20 years ago or even 10 years ago. But nowadays, there's really no purpose for them to look like this anymore.

      @@MrCucamonga1 Don't forget, satellite phones are also meant to be usable in emergency situations that an ordinary phone cannot reach. Broken leg at Zion National Park? Car broken down in the Scottish Highlands? You'll want a phone with a long battery life that works in remote locations and which doesn't have *unnecessary drainage* on the battery life like the vast majority of smartphone apps.
      Iridium do make the "Iridium GO!" device, which you can connect to a pre-existing smartphone via Wi-Fi to make it satellite-capable. It might be more up your alley.
