I bet they are pretty quick. I wish it was 4g, but wifi is good too.

Is the interface good. Particularly typing?

Does it take good pics?

Can it upload direct to photo bucket?

Tim the interface is good. It types well for being a touchscreen. I have posted some of the pics it takes here with no issues at all. I just have to upload them to photobucket or my laptop. Photobucket is easier if your not near a computer. You just email them to your photobucket account. It has an 8mp camera with flash.

Very good Shaun. My droid has instant share to photo bucket. Just select pic and send direct to photo bucket.

I guess I need to go and play with one!

Mine was in an otter box as well

Pelican makes a good case for the iPhone I hear. Might need to check that out.

Afternoon Neil. Tim I havent seen the pelican cases yet. Neill I have seen what one looks like after being run over by a backhoe once or twice. It isnt pretty. Then again it was mine.

Hi Neil. No I haven't seen one run over by a 35 ton truck. I have seen one run over by an M1 though. It was one of those big bag field phones. - Definitely written off as a field loss!

It was actually more than 1, a convoy doing movement drills. It fell off the lead tank and the rest of em just mowed it down! Someone forgot to secure the gear!

Me either. I saw several field radios and such get destroyed, but not a satellite phone with its own receiver and power supply. Looked like something out of Mission Impossible. I bet it cost a pretty penny!
