Has anyone seen the Thuraya SatSleeve for iPhone : http://www.thuraya.com/SatSleeve

Looks awesome! Anyone tested it yet?

I tried it last year in Tanzania.

It did not work at all.

I had to go back to my old Thuraya phone.

And this year, both voice and data connections were rather un-reliable too.

Apparently there was a system upgrade or something going on about that time, which might explain it.

Thanks Saeed, thats rather disappointing - was kinda excited by the idea of having email in the bush for emergencies (posting on AR)
