Released for AT&T, the TerreStar Genus is the world's first smartphone that can connect to cellular and satellite networks. The handset covers North America, for service in the United States, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and offshore coastal waters where the AT&T cellular network doesn't reach -- such as in the deep wilderness or out at sea. The Genus, which runs Microsoft's Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional, will have all the features of a smartphone such as a redesigned Internet Explorer Mobile browser with Flash support, access to Windows Marketplace for Mobile and Microsoft's 'My Phone' Web backup service. Additional features include a 2.6-inch touch screen, 3.0-megapixel auto-focus camera, high-speed 3G Internet, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity and a full QWERTY keyboard.
