About Military Tech
The military establishment's ever increasing reliance on technology and whiz-bang gadgetry impacts us as consumers, investors, taxpayers and ultimately as the "defended." Our mission here is to bring some of these products and concepts to your attention based on carefully selected criteria such as importance to national security, originality, collateral damage to the treasury and adaptability to yard maintenance-but not necessarily in that order.

how long in receive mode, and how long turned off?
Are there any, with long standby times, to toss in back pack, turn on days/ weeks later, and use?
or is it just a "good roc" after 12 hours? ha
thanks!

- Dont be taken in by the hype! This is an overpriced featureless phone. I have been through 3 in a matter of months. Unit 1: Faulty out of box, would not make calls. Unit 2: Keypad failed within 10 days subject to no abnormal wear. Unit 3: Screen cracked now illegible after 1 1/2 months use, fell from hand at thigh height to floor. What a waste of time does not even have any way of connecting to PC to back up numbers etc.
