GSP-1700


Do you ever feel that satellite phones, although marketed to be a mobile technology, make you feel like you're carrying the whole damn satellite disk on your pockets?

Well, now you can say buh-bye to brick-heavy satellite phones 'cuz just this Thursday, Globalstar Inc. announced what is currently the world's smallest and lightest cellphone unit that's powered by, and spans, a global satellite network. Fellas, meet the brand spankin' new GSP-1700 mobile satellite telephone. Here are some of this little wonder's features:
  • operates on Globalstar satellite network in more than 120 countries and six continents
  • weighs approximately 7.1 ounces or 203 grams
  • runs on lithium-ion battery that gives users four hours of talk time and 36 hours standby time
  • dons an EV-DO modem which basically means that you can get high-speed data access virtually anywhere and everywhere
No word yet on how much this baby will cost, as it's still in the manufacturing stage over at the Qualcomm labs, but we're keeping our fingers crossed that it won't be a big leap from its predecessor's (GSP-1600) price, which is US$750. We'll keep you guys posted as soon as we find out.
