Cheers for the comments guys; I have given the reviews on rei a lot of time and read both the positive and negative comments left behind by end users over the last two day's and I can see a general consensus in that yes, it works well in open terrain but poorly in thick jungle.

I think a number of people are blaming the gps unit installed in the device and the other major complaint was the amount of time it took for emergency 911 messages to get through. Some were saying 20 minutes, others almost immediately.

I just ordered 2 from singapore and will write up a review once I have a chance to test them out here in the jungles nearby....
