TerreStar GENUS lets you stay connected wherever you are

So what if you’re living in an area with 4G LTE connectivity – you can’t really say that your smartphone has a signal regardless of where you are. Enter the TerreStar GENUS handset that allows you to remain connected even if you’re in a remote location, and you need not worry about the cellular network going down, either. Gone are the days where a satellite device is big and chunky – the TerreStar GENUS comes in a sleek design with an internal antenna, requiring just one phone number per device, where users with a line of sight to the southern sky can gain access to expanded voice and data roaming coverage in the United States, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands and in territorial waters. It will be powered by Windows Mobile 6.5 (rather strange, don’t you think so in this day and age?), featuring Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, GPS support, 100MB of internal memory, a 2-megapixel camera, and a QWERTY keyboard. This isn’t going to be cheap though, since apart from subscribing to a monthly fee, you will also have to pay the cost per SMS, call and MB. [Press Release]
