Reviews of the Velocity 103

    CNET Review

    October 3, 2008

    The Good: The Velocity 103 has a sharp VGA touch screen and offers over-the-air software updates. The Windows Mobile smartphone also features HSDPA support, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and GPS.

    The Bad: The Velocity Odyssey user interface isn't that intuitive and has a tiny onscreen keyboard.

    The Bottom Line: Though the Velocity 103 offers a lot in the features department, the Windows Mobile smartphone is going to have a tough time competing in the space because of its unintuitive interface, performance issues, and high price tag.
