since you think Bill Gates runs the world and he couldn't make a competitive phone, I doubt Elon will be able to make one.

Bill gates claim to fame is stealing someone else's product and selling it as his own.

Elon musk has actually created many products and services, in many different fields so its not unthinkable that he could create a phone.

Bill gates is the one that thinks Bill gates runs the world. We just think he's trying to run the world.

I will preorder tomorrow.

Starlink phone = phone that could work without cellular network. No monthly bill ( aside from Starlink subscription ).

That's not a bad option if it works and is reliable.

Looks great for internet. Voice not so much if you have to go 44,000 miles round trip from ground to satellite to ground.

Starlinks satellites are low earth orbit, so they are MUCH closer to the earth than dish, DirecTV and other stationary satellites.

This means the time delay to and from the satellites is about the same as cable internet (I use it and avg 1-5ms delay).

In addition, these satellites communicate with each other, so their eventual coverage will service all inhabited areas eventually, this means they Will not require any link on the ground to communicate with each other (and anything connected to them and communicating to another starlink device), and only will require strategic placed ground hubs when you want to get onto the existing web.

Phones already use voip now, so if he released a phone and you lived in an area with satellite overhead you could use the satellite internet to make phone calls without cell tower.

They can't block this because businesses use starlink right now with voip systems.

So people are going to give up all of their iPhone or Android apps just so they can keep twitter. I don't do twitter and might be naïve but is that really a possibility?
I don't know the business model for these apps but would they modify in anticipation of Elon launching this phone? He would provide the code obviously so they could modify.

You charge it in your Tesla baw!
