Oh yes, here’s the BIG NEWS on the Android scene today!
Obscure phone maker Saygus has today revealed it hopes to eventually bring the Android-powered Saygus VPhone to Europe, although we’re not entirely sure if many of the UK and European operators will think that’s a particularly good idea – none of them are carrying the Motorola DROID/Milestone yet, so what chance has Saygus got with this?
Looks rubbish, so expect Orange to stick its badge on it, give it a stupid name like BECTOS and release the thing in the spring, although the initial version of the VPhone will only run on US networks. More information about mystery company Saygus can be found on its official site.

Motorola’s latest flagship dual-core Android monster is a massive, original powerhouse, that’s a big improvement on previous MOTOBLUR mobiles – but still isn’t a total winner.
A slim and glamorous phone from Sony Ericsson, with the sharpest display around. It’s no powerhouse and the screen’s not the biggest out there, but we don’t mind. Because it’s cute.
LG’s first glasses-free 3D phone is a heavy, fat monster, with a clever 3D effect that works rather well. As a smartphone, though, it’s heavy and underwhelming.
A very shiny thing from Sony Ericsson, with a 3.7″ screen and Android 2.3.3 inside. But is it exciting enough to win fans in today’s spec-obsessed market? Can man live on one core alone?
INQ’s Android phone is an interesting “boutique” piece of hardware, packed with unique interface customisations that go far beyond the headline Facebook integration. We like it a lot.
