    Re: V600


    What we wrote is according to the latest press release from Motorola


    In fact, their release did not mention much on the specification. And V600 is actually is a "Monk Up" not a real sample at this time.


    E380, A835 , V295, V290 are also the case.... :(

    Hy Paul, great pics on your page.


    Regarding the V600 you wrote that it will be in market the 2nd quarter 2003. Is that right? I'm asking because Motorola themself wrote 3rd quarter 2003.
    Maybe you can tell us the exact month of releasing.


    Thx Birba

  • NEC 3G handset, for Hutchison 3G

    From Hutchison 3G UK only


    Hutchison Whampoa orders two million 3G video devices from NEC


    NEC agreement marks next milestone in rollout of services under the 3 brand

    Tokyo and Hong Kong - 23 October 2002-Hutchison Whampoa Limited (Hutchison) today announced an agreement with NEC Corporation (NEC) to increase its November 2001 order of third generation (3G) video devices for Hutchison’s 3G companies worldwide from one million to two million NEC video devices. Hutchison and NEC have been working together since April 2001, and this order cements NEC’s relationship with Hutchison as a key partner in the rollout of 3G services under the 3 brand world-wide. The value of the contract was not disclosed.


    All the devices ordered from NEC are dual-mode, while the additional one million devices in this latest contract feature advanced messaging capabilities for both business and personal communication. Dual-mode devices enable consumers to benefit from rich multimedia services such as person-to-person video when accessing the 3G platform, but also allow the use of all 2G services when roaming beyond a 3G-enabled area.


    In August 2001 Hutchison announced that NEC would be its preferred supplier of 3G devices, and this month, NEC began delivery of 1,000 3G devices to Hutchison’s 3G operations in the UK and Italy for use in the Hutchison friendly user trial. NEC is also supporting Hutchison’s network infrastructure rollout in the UK, in line with the announcement in April 2001 by Hutchison 3G UK.


    The new devices in this contract are the first of their kind for NEC and have been created following extensive consumer research. They offer a range of customer-friendly attributes such as computer-style keyboards, built-in cameras and significantly larger colour screens, which let customers experience 3G services to its fullest: mobile communication, Internet and audiovisual features all in one. The devices include a substantial memory of up to 64MB, built-in Java functions and purpose-built software.


    Susumu Otani, Associate Senior Vice President and Executive General Manager of NEC’s Mobile Terminal Business Unit, said: “The advent of 3G has produced many new business opportunities. As a result, the mobile handset has evolved into a highly advanced device incorporating many new features and technologies. NEC has become industry leader in the manufacture of sophisticated and user-friendly devices that simultaneously cater for specific needs and respond to consumer trends.”


    “NEC is providing comprehensive support for Hutchison’s 3G service, and the creation of innovative mobile Internet services. We will accelerate the expansion of 3G by providing reliable and high quality devices backed by our extensive know-how and expertise in the mobile Internet field.”


    Canning Fok, Group Managing Director of the Hutchison Whampoa Group, said: "3G fuses two of the most powerful consumer technologies in history - the interactivity and depth of the Internet with the convenience and freedom of mobile telephony.”


    “We have just begun the first phase of our rollout of these exciting services. Our close relationship with NEC, combined with their considerable expertise in 3G technologies, is proving invaluable. 3 will offer consumers full-motion video over a wide selection of high quality devices. I am confident that our services will clearly differentiate from our competitors in all our countries of operation.”

  • Panasonic GD 55 - Live Preview

    I think most European mobile phone fans are waiting camera phone Panasonic GD 87. How about the very small GD 55? Here is the preview abstract:


    Taiwan designs the smallest phone
    During the CeBIT exhibition in March 2002, Panasonic did not show GD 55. In fact, GD 55 is designed and made by Quanta Computer from Taiwan. Quanta is also responsible for designing and making Siemens CL 50 / 8008. Both of them are one of the smallest phone in the world.


    If we comparing the size with Sony Ericsson T600 (which has been claimed one of the smallest phone), The height of GD 55 is only 3/4 of T600 (excluding the antenna). The volume is only 50cc, So you can imagine how small it is. Will the small phone be not easy to operate? From the first touch, ThreeGMobile do not have this feeling. The spaces among the keys are wide enough, the holding feeling is good........................................
