Velocity Mobile's 83 hits the FCC

Guess what? You'll be able to use Velocity's weak-sauce 83 without any strongly-worded objection from the boys and girls at the Federal Communications Commission! Okay, okay, maybe that's not fair — with WiFi and GPS, it does its job at the bottom end of Velocity's lineup — it's just that when you compare it to the 103 and the 111, it comes up a little short (ahem, QVGA display, EDGE radio, we're looking at you guys). We're not really feeling that gnurled back, either — especially in light of the FCC lab's less-than-stellar photography skills — but if it floats your boat and you're stationed stateside, you can start to feel a little less illegal now.
