Verzio Envii evokes mixed emotions, envy maybe included
24.06.2008 00:24
engadgetmobile.com
Filed under: Handsets, Others, Windows Mobile, GSM, EDGE, HSDPA, UMTS We've seen very little from Verzio, in the past, and we have to admit that this foray in the Wonderfully Weird World of Windows Mobile looks like a pretty strong start. While not loaded with Windows Mobile 6.1, the Envii -- clever bit of naming there, huh? -- does have a 624MHz CPU, 1GB ROM, 2.7-inch QVGA screen, triple-band GSM with 1900 and 2100MHz UMTS / HSDPA, Bluetooth, and WiFi. With the bases well covered in the hardware, the software needs updating is the next topic of interest, but sadly no big mysteries save for the "Verzio Flick Dynamic" which may be some type of Touch UI, but we're not clear and Verzio wasn't too forthcoming. No word on pricing or availability, but hit the site if you're dying for more.[Via Pocketnow] Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments
