Bit pricey, but interesting concept. Not sure if there are other similar products out there like this? The fact that is runs on a single AA is very cool and practical.

BOOM. I just saved you. 90 bucks. The problem I have with this is that it is not made for hard use. Waterproof, shockproof, dust proof. Also verizon doesn't use Sim cards like the rest of the damnable world.

I am not certain, but i think it is law that every 911 call from a cell phone will go through.  Even if the phone is not active with an account.  So I keep my old cell phones, with the charger, available for emergency calls.

I work in the wireless industry, this is true.
