We guess the low number may be alluding to the lack of the third G, but the quad-band EDGE, GPS, WiFi, 2.8-inch screen, and dual microSD slots -- one for storage the other for maps -- mostly still makes us nod."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/spt/auto/1222280031.usr7.jpg" /></p><p>Velocity Mobile's newest offering doesn't look like a half bad offering, despite it's low number status. Still, lack of 3G can be a deal breaker!</p>

To me it looks soooo 1983... Perhaps not in features, but the body design is horrible! ... I know, I know, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but no 3G is indeed a dealbreaker for many. (What are they thinking?) :rolleyes:

September its almost over and still no 103 much less 111????

NO DICE :p
