The 9505a is one of the latest Iridium handheld satellite phone. You can use it in every location on the planet, as at the moment Iridium is the only satellite network that covers the whole globe from pole to pole. The phone is quite light and small compared to previous generation Iridium satphones. Take a look.

Its height (without the antenna) is about the height of... a beer can (though fortunately it's not as wide nor exactly as heavy). The precise size is 158 x 62 x 59 mm which makes it 6.2 x 2.4 x 2.3 inches, while the weight is 375g (13.2 ounces).
The differences between the 9505a and the Iridium's previous handset, the Motorola 9505, are minimal, and actually exist only between the equipment and the available accessories for both these phones. The phone itself is water, dust and shock resistant.
The phone is both smaller and lighter than the 9500. | |
The price of a new 9505a is usually about 1400-1600$. |
