NTT DoCoMo unveils three models for FOMA 900i Series, including Bluetooth

NTT DoCoMo announced three advanced handsets that will complement the functionality of the 3G FOMA 900i series. The release date for each model will be announced soon.

The company also announced that the number of FOMA 3G service subscribers surpassed the four million mark, just two months after reaching three million users. The coming release of three new 900i handsets is also expected to stimulate continued rapid growth of the FOMA subscriber base.

The F900iT (pictured) boasts a wireless Bluetooth headset for convenient, hands-free conversations. When folded with the camera lens and TFT main screen rotated to face outward, the phone can be used as a compact digital camera and Web viewer. Pictures drawn with a stylus on the touch-type main screen can also be e-mailed as attachments.

The N900iS comes equipped with 20 "deco-mail" templates for decorative e-mails. On-screen dictionaries (Japanese, English-Japanese and Japanese-English) can be easily accessed with the Multi-Task button while surfing the internet or writing e-mail. The phone has a pre-recorded voice to read out e-mails.

The P900iV folds for use like a video camera, with the lower half serving as a handy grip and the main screen rotating up or down for convenient viewfinding. The model also features effective 2-mega pixel resolution. Videos and still images stored in the phone can be viewed on a TV screen using an optional cable, and movie resolution has been boosted to 320 dots by 240 dots--more than three times the figure of previous handsets (176 by 144).
