So, we have a new comer to the Windows Mobile phone market. Yeah! I like it. I can’t wait to see what other companies can do. Maybe become the next HTC? Engadget Mobile said it pretty nice about Velocity Mobile…

Riding the Windows Mobile 6.1 wave at CTIA, new player Velocity Mobile officially came out of stealth mode today to reveal its very first two devices: the creatively-named “103″ and “111.”

Check out these photos of the two offerings from this new company. (yes, click em for bigger views)

The “103″ is on the left and the “111″ is on the right.  The 103 is expected in Q2 and the 111 in Q3. They have very similar specs despite the different styles and looks. The 111 is looking quite Moto Qish right now.

Read on for more info about these new devices. You can also check out the press release here.

  • None of that info is available yet. I am in contact with their PR agency and there is nothing being shared publicly.

    I saw mention of teh Velocity Mobile and went to the website. It's a duh! site. Other web information about the phone and the company seem secretive. What's the price? Who will be the carrier, etc.?
