Don't have enough Verizon/Android love in your life? Check out this new handset due out "mostly likely early next year" on the carrier. It's from a company called Saygus, which you've most likely never heard of. In fact, it wasn't really in the hardware game until fairly recently. We were shown the device as a pre-CES show in Manhattan last night. The phone is still fairly prototypey, running Android 1.6--when it comes to market it'll, be running 2.0, naturally.
The company is focused on the VPhone's video-conferencing abilities, which, again, aren't quite ready for prime time. The phone can also serve as a wireless access point for up to eight devices. There's 512MB of RAM built in (expandable to 16GB with an SDHC card), a 5MP camera with flash, and a 3.5-inch WVGA touchscreen.
Check out a video of the device in all its glory, after the jump.

seems like a great phone once it is finalized and only $150 end cost with a contract to Verizon customers isn't bad either (if that price stays)
if they really increase the increase the video resolution for and use 1/4 bandwidth, why is this a no name company? or have they been licensing their technology to other IP phone and IP product based manufacturers? IP phones and video conferencing suck up tremendous amounts of bandwidth, Cisco's telepresence video conferencing (where each end user has jumbo screens or multiple large LCD/HDTV displays) requires a minimum of 2 dedicated T1 lines at each end of the conference call. that is why I don't understand either why other carriers, especially T-Mobile would turn such a device away.
