The handset will be available to Verizon Wireless customers but being an Open Development Initiative handset, the device wont be supported by Verizon. Instead, handset support will be supplied by Saygus themselves.
According to Saygus executives, the handset will ship with Android 1.6 but will be updated to Android 2.0 at some point in the near future.
As previously mentioned in our earlier post, the VPhone will feature a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, 3.5-inch (800 x 480px) high resolution capacitive touch display, 5 mega-pixel camera (with flash), and support for supports EVDO Rev. A, Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth 2.0+EDR connectivity.
The handset also includes an accelerometer, digital compass and microSD card support up to 32GB.
The Saygus VPhone is expected to launch late 2009/early 2010.
