High Velocity

By: John Gray

While the two smartphones in question do not look that different from anything currently on the market, the name is certainly a new one. Velocity are a UK based company who have teamed up with Inventec, a company based in Taiwan who manufacturer for HP and Toshiba among others.

Velocity are about to release the Velocity 103 and the 111, both are high end smartphones packed with features to suit even the most discerning customer.

The Velocity 103 appears to be going up against the recently announced HTC Touch Diamond, and obviously the Apple iPhone - as all smartphones seem to get compared to this! The Velocity 103 is a touchscreen mobile phone with a good sized 2.8 inch screen, it will support 3G, HSDPA, Wi-Fi and has A-GPS - so getting about should not be a problem and browsing the internet or downloading will be nice and speedy. It also has a 2 megapixel camera, secondary VGA camera for video calling and the memory can be expanded by microSD card.

The Velocity 111 has similar features to the 103 but is aimed towards those who prefer a BlackBerry styled device - with a full qwerty keypad rather than a fully touch enabled screen. The Velocity 111 runs on the Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional operating system, again we have 3G, HSDPA, Wi-Fi and A-GPS, plus the 2 megapixel main camera, VGA secondary camera, Bluetooth and a microSD card slot.

The Velocity 103 is already available to pre-order, while the Velocity 111 is expected in the coming few months. Neither mobile phone will be a 'cheap' option - but for those who are needing a smartphone that covers all options the Velocity duo should be a great option.
