WinMo Powered Satellite Phone from Elektrobit
Posted by Chris Leckness on 09/15/08 in Pocket PC Phones
Sascha Segan from PC Magazine talked with Elektrobit at CTIA last week and learned about what I believe will be the 1st Satellite Phone running Windows Mobile.
Elektrobit’s Satellite-Terrestrial Reference Design, shown at left, is a Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional phone that looks like a somewhat chunkier Motorola Q. We first saw the concept at the previous CTIA show six months ago; now they have a working model. The keyboard is interesting, with small raised dots on each key. The device resists cold and heat well, but it isn’t formally ruggedized.
Specs for the device are as follows:
- Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional (PPC)
- 2.6″ Landscape QVGA Screen
- 3.0MP camera with flash and auto focus
- VGA front video-calling camera
- 300Mhz STN 8815 Nomadik CPU
- Dual-band WCDMA (850/1900)
- TerreStar WCDMA HSDPA 2.2 Ghz
- Quad-band GSM/EGPRS (850/900/1800/1900)
- 2.2Ghz satellite band with GMR-3G
- GPS (chip type not specified)
- 802.11b/g WiFi
- Bluetooth 2.0
- USB 2.0 with mass storage
- MicroSD slot
- QWERTY keyboard
- 1400mAh battery
- 118.8 mm x 64.8 mm x 19.25/16.25 mm (thickest/thinnest)
