Being very interested in the LG WINE’s 3G support and multiple phone features, NTT DOCOMO, the mobile communications company that brought the world’s first 3G service based on W-CDMA in 2001, decided to launch the cool cell phone on the Asian market, in collaboration with KT Freetel, mobile communications service provider, under the name FOMA L706ie.

LG WINE has a simple and elegant clamshell-style design and it will be available in Japan in August and in South Korea in September.
It features a 2.2-inch LCD display, large buttons, built-in 1.3MP camera, large character format, alarm, schedule, voice recorder and MP3 player.



It is expected at an affordable cost.

According to the latest NTT DOCOMO press release, the large mobile communications company plans to develop the next LG PRADA cell phone.
The new NTT DOCOMO version of the famous PRADA-branded cell phone will feature full touch-sensitive surface and ill target Japan starting June.

It will come in a stylish leather case with accessories and new graphics, besides the intuitive interface, tactile feedback, a built-in 2MP CMOS camera with Schneider-Kreuznach optics and autofocus, high-speed data transfers of up to 7.2Mbps, the packet-switched i-mode wireless Internet service popular in Japan, and Chaku-Uta full length songs download.

The LG PRADA from NTT DOCOMO will measure 101 x 54 x 12.7 mm at 92 grams, with a battery providing up to 140 minutes of talk time, 90 minutes of video calling, and 350 hours of standby.
It sports a 3-inch large wide QVGA TFT LCD display of 65K colors for easy browsing.
We’ll know more after the release.

According to an NTT Communications' press release, the company plans to develop in Japan an innovative cell phone with a technology inspired probably from Nokia Scensory concept with aromatherapy.
NTT’s cell phone will allow users play with 16 fragrances and send favorite scents to other people via Wi-Fi wireless connectivity.

This sounds like you sending some rose perfume to the one you love via the cell phone.
You could also combine the 16 fragrances and create new ones you like more, but if you don’t know how to do it you could check the special recipe catalogue from NTT which instructs on how to mix them.

The company has an interesting vision of the future of communication technology and this includes perfumed email, rose smelling songs and videos full of fragrances.

Fujitsu FOMA F1100 is not the first cell phone that adopts AuthenTec’s fingerprint readering technology for securing the data stored in the handset; Asus was the first to use the AES1710 module for the M356 Smartphone, but it is though the first model released by NTT DoCoMo to feature Windows Mobile 6 operating system and the fingerprint sensor.

It is important for a Smartphone to have this protection layer enabled because of the mobile commerce transaction types used by business professionals.
In Japan, FOMA F1100 users will have access to Mobile Office documents, HSDPA high-speed transfers, built-in camera for pictures, microSD expansion slot, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, IP telephony, and a large 2.6-inch QVGA touch-sensitive display.



"Fujitsu has demonstrated its market leadership with the introduction of their first fingerprint-enabled Windows Mobile phone," declared AuthenTec Chairman and CEO Scott Moody. "We have had a long and successful relationship with Fujitsu because of our ability to consistently provide the latest innovations in fingerprint sensors to enhance the user experience, the reliability of our TruePrint technology, and our proven ability to deliver in very high volumes. The feature-packed FOMA F1100 is another outstanding example of an innovative mobile phone that leverages the Power of Touch features of an AuthenTec sensor."

NTT DoCoMo will offer a new mobile handset made by Panasonic, with 1seg, Japan’s mobile terrestrial digital audio/video and data broadcasting service.

I have never explained you what 1seg means so I’ll tell you now.
In Japan, the terrestrial digital broadcast has each channel divided in 13 segements from which 12 are with HDTV broadcast and the last one, called 1seg, is for mobile receivers using H.264/MPEG-4 AVC video and HE-AAC audio included in the MPEG-2 Transport Stream.
It has 416 kbit/s rate, 320 x 240 pixels video resolution, 220-320 kbit/s video bit rate, and 48-64kbit/s audio bit rate, while the remaining 10-100kbit/s is the additional data broadcasting.
As the receiver device manufacturers have their own recording limits, some receivers permit the recording of 1seg broadcasts to the internal memory forbidding the moving or copying to a miniSD external memory card.

Panasonic P905iTV is the first 1seg mobile TV phone capable of 30 frames per second high quality imaging.
It has a 3.5-inch full wide LTPS TFT VGA display with 262,144 colors, mixing the VIERA large and flat screen concept with the high quality picture technologies, Mobile PEAKS PROCESSORTM and Mobile Double Contrast AI, which enable a 4000:1 contrast ratio.
The LCD Artificial Intelligence technology is in charge with automatic brightness adjustment.

P905iTV is a slider handset available in Black and White housing colors, measuring 113 X 53 X 17.9 mm when folded, at 129 grams, with a battery life of up to 230 minutes in 3G mode, 160 minutes in TV mode and up to 660 hours in 3G standby.

Its built-in camera is a CMOS with auto focus, 2MP effective resolution, 6-axis image stabilizer and link functions, and it is equipped also with an optional microSD/micro SDHC memory card slot, and high quality sound speakers.
