InfoWorld | at | by Mike
Sierra Wireless Inc. marked its entrance into the Smartphone market with the launch of the Voq phone, which runs Microsoft Corp.'s Smartphone 2003 operating system, Sierra announced Wednesday. The Voq phone resembles nothing in the current market for Smartphones, with a flip-cover that opens to the left to reveal a traditional keyboard layout. When closed, the phone looks like an ordinary cell phone, with a dialing keypad and several other menu buttons visible.
The phone weighs in at 4.73 ounces (135 grams), and when closed measures 133mm long by 57 mm wide by 22 mm thick. The 2.2-inch color screen is 176 pixels by 220 pixels.
