GUPP INTRODUCES PHREEDOM IP Centric SMARTPHONE

Premier Offering Delivers Unparalleled Freedom On-the-Go and Drastically Reduced Roaming Charges

Penang, Malaysia—February 27, 2007—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 frontrunner introducing 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.”
