Both have nice specifications and design and were announced with versions suitable for AT&T, T-Mobile and the European carriers. Velocity Mobile announced that they are emphasizing not only on high-end features, but also "on ease-of-use, sleek and attractive design". The pictures of the Velocity phones showed them with a weather application on the homescreen, but there was no information on what other personalization they will have. The official site of the manufacturer now has a division called Odyssey, which is the name of the interface itself. Frankly, the demonstration of its features didn't impress us.</em>"</p><p> </p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com//spt/auto/1220717671.usr251.gif" border="1" /></p><p> </p><p>Velocity Mobile has been rather quiet since they announced the <a href="http://www.velocitymobile.com/Products/velocity103/" target="_blank">103</a> and <a href="http://www.velocitymobile.com/Products/velocity111/" target="_blank">111</a> at CTIA 2008, though an <a href="http://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/ViewExhibitReport.cfm?mode=Exhibits&RequestTimeout=500&calledFromFrame=N&application_id=630606&fcc_id='DGIBC0312AAA000" target="_blank">FCC application for the 103</a> has appeared. Now, their website shows off more of the Odyssey touch interface, though <a href="http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/Velocity-Mobile-reveals-more-of-its-Odyssey-interface-article-a_3109.html" target="_blank">PhoneArena.com</a> was not impressed. However, it's hard to judge an entire interface by just a few screenshots. You can see more at <a href="http://velocitymobiledemo.com/Home/Odyssey" target="_blank">Velocity Mobile</a>. No carriers have been announced for the upcoming Velocity phones.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
