While the two smartphones in question don’t look all that different from those currently on the market, the name is certainly new. Velocity is a UK-based company that has partnered with Inventec, a Taiwan-based company that manufactures for HP and Toshiba, among others.

Velocity is about to launch the Velocity 103 and 111, both are high-end smartphones packed with features to suit even the most demanding customer.

The Velocity 103 seems to be competing with the recently announced HTC Touch Diamond and obviously Apple’s iPhone as all smartphones seem to compare to it! The Velocity 103 is a touch mobile phone with a good size 2.8 inch screen, it will support 3G, HSDPA, Wi-Fi and has A-GPS so getting around shouldn’t be a problem and browsing the internet or downloading will be nice and fast. It also has a 2-megapixel camera, VGA secondary camera for video calls and memory can be expanded via microSD card.

The Velocity 111 has similar features to the 103, but is aimed at those who prefer a BlackBerry-style device, with a full qwerty keyboard rather than a full touch screen. The Velocity 111 runs on the Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional operating system, again we have 3G, HSDPA, Wi-Fi and A-GPS, in addition to the main 2-megapixel camera, VGA secondary camera, Bluetooth and microSD card slot.

The Velocity 103 is available for pre-order now, while the Velocity 111 is expected in the coming months. Neither cell phone is going to be a ‘cheap’ option, but for those who need a smartphone that ticks all the boxes, the Velocity duo should be a great option.
