Has any one tried one of these?

It also allows sending and receiving of SMS via Satellite and has satellite based emergency contact systems etc etc. Look it up on a search engine. You can even update Facebook from the middle of the Simpson (if you wanted to). I have one and it works well. There is a new model that has more functions than mine. They are about half the price of a satellite phone and can be a life saver.

You can get them on eBay for around $80. Just wondering if any one has one or knows about them.

I should have looked at the link ;) I have a similar one made by Ultimate that I rarely use.

The big advantage of plugging into the dock connector is that you can power both devices simultaneously. The external bluetooth units require either batteries or a second power connection.
