| JanVanGenk | Unbelievable | | 
Voted 5/5 | Finally a sat phone which catches up with technology;)
Superb voice quality. Loads of extras. I recommend to have an extra battery, especially if extensively using the phone's features.

Voted 5/5 | Yes, I own a SG-2520 and so far I'm satisfied. The initial software version has some growing pains (I've had phone crashing twice), hopefully these will be removed by the upgrades.
