GUPP Introduces Phreedom IP Centric Smartphone



    GUPP Technologies, Inc., the premier technology solution provider
    for IP smart mobile communication and entertainment devices, today
    announced the launch of its Phreedom IP centric smartphone. Designed
    for consumers and cost-conscious businesses, Phreedom is the world's
    first open, SIP-based, Voice over Wi-Fi (VoWiFi)/GSM mobile phone.
    GUPP's premier offering provides unparalleled freedom on-the-go and
    drastically reduced roaming charges for a lower phone bill.

    With Phreedom, users can seamlessly switch to VoIP-based calling
    when in roaming, avoiding excessive long-distance charges that are
    accumulated when making incoming, outgoing and voicemail calls.
    Phreedom puts the power of VoIP in the palm of the user's hand.

    As businesses are relying more on hand-held mobile devices,
    smartphones will need to offer more than traditional voice
    communications. Phreedom provides added capabilities such as browsing
    the Internet, downloading music and sending and receiving e-mail. It
    also features VoIP, Wi-Fi and GSM technologies. These advanced mobile
    technologies combined with Phreedom's disruptive technology gives
    users the ultimate connection experience anytime, anywhere.

    "The convergence of VoIP and mobile has been a long time coming
    and while many barriers still remain, innovative organizations like
    GUPP are paving the way towards the development and availability of
    true dual-mode phones," said Jeff Pulver, VoIP pioneer and founder of
    Pulver.com.

    GUPP Technologies was founded in 2006 with the mission to
    introduce a mobile device that would enhance the consumer experience
    by solving frustrating and costly end-user pain points. GUPP is the
    only company with products based on the world's first completely open
    mobile Linux system platform, developed by a la Mobile.

    "Phreedom offers dramatic cost savings through VoIP calls, an
    easy-to-use browser for fast, reliable Internet access, voice call
    continuity and long battery life--the holy grail for IP centric mobile
    devices," said Sanjay Varma, CEO of GUPP Technologies. "With the
    mobile device market exploding, GUPP is bringing to market the first
    IP centric dual-mode smartphone to deliver a satisfying user
    experience."
