DoCoMo's latest phones-a new coat of paint, but short on surprises

[Archived in Entry]

  „Well, the subdisplays are a little bigger and there are a few tweaks here and there, but the fact that the company says it's focusing on colour and external design with its new 2G range should make it clear that real efforts in handset innovation have shifted to 3G. The NEC N506i looks to be the best of the three new models, with its OCR functions (scan business cards into your address book or look up words in the internal dictionary), PDA-like twist screen (it can be used for most things with the screen twisted 180 degrees and folded flat again), and TV hookup, plus the ability to have it read emails aloud for you. Elsewhere, things that caught our attention were the 2 megapixel camera in the Fujitsu F506i, and the ability to voice-trigger the Mitsubishi D506i's camera shutter by saying a prerecorded word.“

TV-to-cellphone SD card video recorder

  „Two hours' worth of programming will fit on a 128MB card, and can be played back on any of DoCoMo's recent FOMA phones or a couple of the new Vodafone Japan handsets. (We presume it might just work with non-Japan phones that shoot and play 3GPP video too, if there are any with SD card slots out there. You apparently have to specify which phone you're recording for, however, so there are obviously some quirks in the spec depending on the phone maker.)“
