September 12th, 2008Velocity 103 launched
Velocity 103 is being launched by a UK based company which is very new to our market. The company which has a pretty good background in cool gadgetry, has partnered with Inventec of Taiwan who are contract equipment manufacturers for big names such as HP, Toshiba and many others.
In this very competitive mobile phone market, to carve a niche for oneself, one has to strive to offer something different from the competition. Velocity Mobile has done its best to achieve that.
Velocity 103 has a large VGA resolution (480 x 640 pixel) touchscreen, supports HSDPA and HSUPA high speed data, tri-band UMTS and quad-band GSM, has A-GPS and supports WiFi. It sports a Qualcomm Mobile Station Modem (MSM) with a MSM7201 chipset, a 2.8″ touch screen display, 256MB ROM with 128MB RAM, supports Bluetooth 2.1 and USB 2.0. The Velocity 103 also features Wi-fi, integrated GPS, a 2 megapixel camera, TV/VGA out and MicroSD expansion slot for more memory. It has a trackball for navigation. Its battery has 4 hours talk time and 8 days standby time.
It weighs 130gms and 113 x 58 x 15mm in size. According to the president and managing director of Velocity Mobile, they have tried to satiate the innate desire of the consumers who want experiences and are not interested in the functions and applications. So, don’t waste your time comparing it to the other models HTC etc and pick your piece to enjoy the experience.
The unlocked Velocity 103 is available for pre-order online now through Expansys for Rs. 26,477 (£334.99) and will ship by the end of September.
