Phones with video conferencing have often been rumored, though until now we have yet to seem them in America. Now we have the Saygus Vphone, the first of its kind, coming, it seems, to Verizon.
The Saygus Vphone in essentially an Android phone with two video cameras. It has a 5 MP camera on the back in addition to a VGA camera on the front of the phone for the video conferencing. While I wasn’t about to test the video conferencing, the phone itself looked to be fairly well built with a slide out keyboard. It was running Android 1.6 with a modified app tray, though it should be running Android 2.0 by the time its released.
According to Saygus, the “Video Messaging Service” should give unlimited access for $2.99 a month, which isn’t a bad price at all.
