With
Swiss folks getting the new Ogo2.0 recently, it's about time those across the pond get a crack at the new do-everything device. Revol Wireless will get the Ogo2.0 this summer, a perfect fit for the Ohio-based carrier. Revol Wireless prides itself on "unlimited" wireless services and has a target demographic of younger wireless users who, umm, tend to use thousands of text messages every month plus that slew of mobile IMs and a decent torrent of emails to boot. The Ogo2.0 device should fit
Revol's strategy perfectly, as the CDMA device has onboard EV-DO (sigh, just Revision 0) and a full QWERTY keyboard for flexing those fingers and thumbs to the limit.
Thirsty for more? Try this on for size (takes deep breath): QVGA, Bluetooth 2.0, RSS, Web 2.0 content interface, 2 megapixel cam, voice command, stereo speakers, microSD slot and quad-band GSM / GPRS / EDGE (for the
GSM version announced for Swisscom earlier). Add in a
healthy dose of OgoClips (like a bottle opener) and there's very little this pocketable beauty can't do. No word on Revol's pricing, but the Ogo2.0 should drop "this summer" according to the carrier. So, anytime from late June to early late September,
eh Revol?

I am deaf and I have several friends that are hearing impaired. We are totally struggling with out cellular phone bills they are outagerous for us. Why need internet when you got one at home use them at home and print the map from home by using the computer too!! OGO was the best thing that has ever happened to us. Its so great and so easy to communicate with OGO based on how to use them! Can’t anyone find out how many disable people that live in USA!!!! They better release OGO to USA and they would build their OGO Products instantly!!!!
Pray for OGO to come to USA! I TOTALLY NEED ONE SO BAD..
Uhhh, did anyone else see that Mr. White listed this device as both CDMA and GSM/GPRS/EDGE? Or am I just seeing things?
As an Ohio based reader of Engadget I can tell you that while it's great that this is being picked up by someone, Revol wireless has some of the worst service and coverage in the areas that it serves.
Geoff, I believe they make two different models. I'm not sure about it though EDGE means a AT&T launch!!!! Can't wait for it. I wanna stay on top of this one so bad.
