Thuraya SO 2510 review

The Thuraya SO-2510 offers exclusively satellite services in a portable phone as compact and lightweight as a GSM cell phone. The Thuraya SO-2510 is a robust and dynamic phone designed for high performance in the most extreme situations and in any location. It is a phone that combines two cutting-edge technologies: Satellite and GPS. GSM technology, which is present in all traditional cell phones, has extensive but not total coverage, as it is in fact unable to receive signals on the high seas or where there is no repeater station nearby. Satellite technology, via the Thuraya satellite, makes up for all the signal gaps of the GSM cellular network, allowing the user to receive and make calls even high in the mountains or in the middle of the desert. The phone also integrates the GPS function, so that at any moment it is possible to know one's own position in terms of Longitude and Latitude and to send it via an SMS to rescue services or to anyone else. It is extremely simple to use, like any other phone. The menus are intuitive and it offers the possibility of setting one's own language among the many available. In addition, the Thuraya SO-2510 offers an elegant display with 65000 colors at high resolution with a one-and-a-half-inch screen (128 x 128 pixels). The phone has 32 Mb of internal memory and offers the possibility of connecting it to a PC via the USB port. It is also simple to use all the additional features such as SMS, GPS, and fax and data transmission and reception.
