So, does anyone have their hands on one yet?

Maybe I'm missing something but it doesn't seem significantly cheaper than inReach.
My unlimited plan is only a few dollars more than the 300 messages per month plan?? But May m missing something?

Has anyone picked up one of these, and be willing to give a review?

I have one. I like how compact it is. There is a big problem though. If you send a message and the message recipient doesn't have the proprietary app running in the background on their phone they will not get your message or any indication that a message was sent.

Last year there was a article about Musk and T-Mobile offering a phone to Starlink that was going to do text initially then voice shortly thereafter. The cell tower line of sight thing is going the way of the 218 Bee.

Not looking good as the company who made the device has shut down. Not sure if they will still function but definitely not something I would invest in. https://www.theverge.com/2024/1/31/...ed-smartphones-cat-motorola-folded-insolvency
