ViewSonic releasing ViewPhone3 Android phone ViewSonic is expanding into the Android market.
The company is expected to reveal their new low-end ViewPhone3 at CES next week.

Sources say the company will sell unlocked in the U.S. for T-Mobile and AT&T but will be aimed at emerging Latin Markets like Brazil.

The ViewPhone3 will run on Android 2.3 Gingerbread and an 800MHz Qualcomm processor. The device has a 3.5-inch display, 512MB, dual-SIM slots and a 5MP camera.

ViewSonic will sell the phone directly through their website for $250 with no contracts.

As you can see from the specs, the device is very outdated and not too powerful, but the dual-SIM slots are interesting and not seen on too many American phones.
