Saygus Announces $599 Price Tag For V2 Smartphone, Extends Pre-Order Window

Earlier this week, Saygus teased details about its upcoming pre-order registration for the V2 smartphone, which was supposed to end today. However, the company pushed the registration date further, to next Monday 11:59 p.m. Mountain Standard Time (MST) in an attempt to lure more customers by revealing a pre-order price as well as some of the accessories that early adopters will receive.

Saygus' extension on pre-order registration alongside the new details could be the fuel it needs to get people excited about the V2. Its features, most notably the fact that it's possible to load another OS onto its MicroSD slot, surprised us at CES, and its price makes the phone a possible contender in the market. However, the startup has to deliver on what looks on paper like a dream phone to a final, working product, which is no small feat.
