AT&T announces cellular satellite smartphone
The TerreStar Genus will primarily use AT&T's network and will fall back to satellite service in rural areas.
In the midst of a barrage (literally) of fall phone announcements,
With a QWERTY keyboard and a candy bar design, the Genus resembles many a Windows Mobile device (it runs the same OS). Feature details ares slim at this point, but we know that the handset will offer Bluetooth, a touch screen, Wi-Fi, and GPS. Pricing is to be announced, though the Genus will only be released to government customers. Phone Scoop says that AT&T is working on a consumer variant as well.
