Irish start-up firm Cubic Telecom has launched what it claims is the first 'truly global' mobile phone at a major industry exhibition in California.

The 'Cubic Mobile' phone was launched Monday at the prestigious TechCrunch 40 trade show in San Francisco, where Cubic was the only Irish exhibitor of the 40 companies in attendance. The new phone is a dual-band GSM/Wi-Fi device that includes several features the company says will help reduce the cost of long-distance calling.
