Caterpillar S60 FLIR phone

[steptoe]

Well,

Anyone seen much if this yet,?

I don't know how to do links on my phone,

Basically it's a mobile phone made for site use with a thermal imaging camera built in, camera designed by FLIR apparently, :|

That's it,

If, and if, the thermal camera is of any practical use at all, then it's deffo a sell to me,

But, I don't know enough of such things to judge it, 

I'd like it to be on a par with a 'normal' £300ish thermal cam tbh.

Looks just the ticket for us boys and there toys! So who's selling them over here then? 

It'll give a whole new meaning to taking a selfie!

We sell these or do when Flir can supply them!!

I'm sure we could get the CAT ones and will but Flir have a bad habit of releasing stuff then mess around with deliveries, they are supplied by their retail division which is a bit different to the commercial mob.

Shall i see if i can get a price?  

 

[Sharpend]

Please would be interesting, I'm always being told that the iPhone isn't good for me by 'er in doors' so seems a good opportunity to get a different phone

 

[binky]

they look like fun MM, please price these for us. Got a test unit by any chance? I'll write you a review O)

Had the same phone for over 5 years, it came with Windows Mobile 6.5, but I have used Windows Phone 7, Android (from froyo up to marshmallow) and various Linux flavours (Ubuntu, slackware, Debian etc) on it. Time for a change.

Am liking this phone, don't think it is released yet though, MM will know.

 

[ISSWWW]

No It's not released yet, i will see what i can do on getting hold of them and let you know.

I registered my interest and am just awaiting my first prize draw.

Failing that I will probably buy one.

Wait a couple of months,

If you can work with the Chinese government tracking you they will have a clone out at about a 1/4 the price soon,

[steptoe]
