Quite a long time ago, almost a year in fact, word had it that AT&T would gain a Windows Mobile based smartphone with satellite capability and would be the Genus from TerreStar. Well you may have forgotten about the device or even though it had already seen release but no.
According to an article over on Engadget by Chris Ziegler, the TerreStar Genus has finally been released on the Big Blue network. Unfortunately though the TerreStar Genus isn’t exactly the type of device that most people would rush out to purchase.
The TerreStar Genus is a Windows Mobile 6.5.3 device and currently is only available to government users and business, and can be purchased for an up front price of $799 while that satellite service will set the user back $25 a month with charges of per minute at 65 cents, per message at 40 cents and per megabyte at $5 a pop
Spec wise the TerreStar Genus packs a 2.6 inch touch screen, a 3 megapixel camera, GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, Microsoft Office Mobile, Outlook Mobile, VoIP application, satellite connectivity and microSD expansion; so anyone really interested in picking up the TerreStar Genus on AT&T?
