Velocity Mobile 103 Smartphone drops into the market

[Humberto]

Velocity Mobile has come up with a simple-named cell phone - the 103. This device might be mistaken for something from HTC's stables at first glance, but upon closer inspection, you will find a trackball located in the center.

The device runs on Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, but has a pretty skin over the top called the Odyssey Interface.

Most of the interface is handled though a 2.8-inch VGA TFT LCD touch screen, with a resolution of 640x480.

The guts of the phone are powered by Qualcomm's MSM7201 chip and has 128MB DDR SDRAM with 256MB NAND Flash for the OS and storage, expandable via a microSD slot.

There is Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and GPS built, along with a rather paltry 2MP camera on the back and a 0.3MP camera on the front for video calls. There is also TV/VGA out to show off your pictures or run presentations.

The unlocked Velocity 103 is available for pre-order online now through Expansys for £324.99 and will ship by the end of September.
