Vodafone Announces Own Phones

[MWC] Vodafone has taken the step to release its own-brand phones at MWC ’08 – the Vodafone 227 clamshell and the 228 slider. The former looks very much like the utilitarian Nokia 2650, while the 228 is uninspiring to say the least. Both look set to be entry-level handsets, featuring GSM dual band, voice and text capabilities, a color display of unknown resolution and size, vibration, and a headphone socket. Definitely the people’s phone if you ask me. Pretty rare for a cell phone to come lacking a camera these days though.
