Verzio Envii evokes mixed emotions, envy maybe included
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]
Verzio launches two dual-SIM handsets, one with 3G
Dual-SIM phones are still pretty rare 'round these parts, but those of you who need the two-line action in Asia might want to check out Verzio's new Duplii and Twinn handsets. Verzio says the Duplii (pictured) is the first triband 3G handset with dual-SIM slots, but it would be pretty respectable even without the two cards, with a 2 megapixel camera, 2.2-inch display, and media playback capabilities. The EDGE-only Twinn packs is basically the same, only in slider form minus the 3G. Both are on sale now in the Philippines, but apparently they'll be in the rest of Asia sometime in 2008.
