Windows Phone Thoughts: Velocity Mobile's Odyssey - No Great Adventure?

"Back in April, during the CTIA 2008 show, Velocity Mobile attracted the attention, revealing its first two models. Both have nice specifications and design and were announced with versions suitable for AT&T, T-Mobile and the European carriers. Velocity Mobile announced that they are emphasizing not only on high-end features, but also "on ease-of-use, sleek and attractive design". The pictures of the Velocity phones showed them with a weather application on the homescreen, but there was no information on what other personalization they will have. The official site of the manufacturer now has a division called Odyssey, which is the name of the interface itself. Frankly, the demonstration of its features didn't impress us."

Velocity Mobile has been rather quiet since they announced the 103 and 111 at CTIA 2008, though an FCC application for the 103 has appeared. Now, their website shows off more of the Odyssey touch interface, though PhoneArena.com was not impressed. However, it's hard to judge an entire interface by just a few screenshots. You can see more at Velocity Mobile. No carriers have been announced for the upcoming Velocity phones.
