Velocity Mobile launches the 83, naming scheme still boggles
Don't get us wrong, Velocity Mobile's new 83 is certainly a well thought out Windows Mobile 6.1 device, but with its older siblings getting grandiose names like the 103 and 111, they could have broken down and done something different. 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. Price point is set in the $500 range and the launch is scheduled for November this year.

Velocity Mobile really can make high quality knock-offs, this of the touch diamond and then the one with QWERTY (model name?) that is a blackberry curve with a little bit of conformist touchscreen fad thrown in.
Thanks for the originality, guys.

They do have some nice stuff - but to me, they've always looked like an acquisition play.
