Velocity Mobile, a nine month collaboration between one of the
world's largest notebook computer manufacturers and a team of veteran
wireless designers and engineers,announced the retail
availability of its first touchscreen phone, the Velocity 103.
Velocity Mobile's easy-to-use Odyssey Interface, built on top of
Microsoft's Windows Mobile 6.1 smartphone operating system, and the
Velocity Over The Air (VOTA) updates, bring immense market value to the
mobile industry. No longer do consumers need to buy new phones to get
the latest software. The ability to easily update devices through VOTA
means the device is longer lasting and more cost effective for users.
Through this service, Velocity Mobile is directly engaging its
customers and keeping them up-to-date with mobility.
