Back in November 2009 we brought you the news that Skype and Verizon were teaming up to create a phone together. The only thing we could think of at the time was a device aimed towards video chat and Skype related communication. Since Saygus made their original statement, out of the blue, the specification list has changed somewhat. The new specifiction list originates from Androidspin.com. However, the changes are not too drastic. We’re quite impressed that Saygus has kept true to their announcement in any regard, since they are an unknown American manufacturer, and as yet, unproven.

The processor was alleged to originally clock in at around 600 MHz, but this has been bumped up to 800Mhz. However, given the nature of the device and what is already on the market, it would also make sense that a 1Ghz Snapdragon should be in the mix. Either way, this type of heavy integration with Skype is a bold and interesting move from Verizon, and one we look forward to seeing come to fruition.
