With everything this phone promises, they had better work on getting some solar power circuitry inside too. Seriously, this thing is going to drink battery life in big gulps with today’s technology.
The most striking feature of the Elektrobit device is its antenna: it doesn’t seem to have one. This is a slim, light (4.7 x 2.5 x .8″ HWD) phone that runs on HSDPA high-speed cellular networks and uses Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional (yes, it has a touch screen) but also happens to connect to an upcoming satellite network being launched next year by Terrestar across North America. Or that’s the plan, at least: this is a reference design, and the satellites aren’t up in the air yet.
