<div class='os_post_top_link'><a href='http://msmobilenews.com/index.php?cid=299' target='_blank'>http://msmobilenews.com/index.php?cid=299</a><br /><br /></div>MSMobileNews has dug up some pictures of the new VOQ from the FCC site along with the user manual.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/NewVoq1.gif" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/> <br /><b><span><i>Picture courtesy of MSMobileNews.com &amp; FCC</i></span></b><br /><br />"- Mentions the storage of stock lists, that can be easily found with the myVoq shortcuts. <br />- Quote on Voice Dialing: "You can program your phone to dial numbers, open an e-mail message or go to a web page in response to your voice. For example, you can say "Home", and your phone dials your home phone number automatically." <br />- Can use VoqMail as an email account, which they claim has more functions then standard email accounts. <br />- Says the phone is Java enabled and you can install Java MIDlets from an SD card, from the internet directly to your phone, and from your PC using a cradle or USB cable. <br />- Doesn't mention bluetooth or camera in the manual."<br /><br />It looks there might be a new OS, Java, Voice Dial, and VoqMail (??) on this phone, but still no camera or Bluetooth. I'm going to download the user manual have a little read on the train ride home. :D

Wow, an actual photo of 1 of the 10 phones that will ever be sold.

Seriously, this has to be the ugliest phones introduced in the new year. It's amazing that a group of people can get to together and produce something like this. :roll:

At first I thought that it was about as attractive as a diesel oil pump..... then I thought - is that such a bad thing? I quite like the ugly "I got warts but just watch me run" look of this little beastie - kind of looks like a baby grinch.

I doubt it'll sell on its looks, but I for one appreciate ugliness (I have to, I shave every morning!)

:rofl: I know where you're coming from. :wink: '


Personally, I don't find this phone all that ugly. I think it's got a Matrix look to it. 8) Besides, I'm just happy to see more manufacturers working at bringing more Smartphones to the market. :way to go:
