So the crazy rumors were true: as we reported yesterday it turns out that the new Microsoft Smartphone is from Sierra Wireless. The Voq Professional Phone is a bit larger, heavier, and uglier than we’d hoped, and doesn’t have Bluetooth or a digital camera, but it does have one design twist we hadn’t seen on a phone before: the numeric keypad flips open to reveal a mini QWERTY keyboard. Otherwise the Voq is about standard for a Smartphone. It has a GSM/GPRS phone with a 200MHz processor, 32MB of RAM, a 200×176 pixel color screen, and an SD expansion card slot. And as you can probably guess from the name, the Voq is aimed at business users rather than the consumer market.
