-W41K

Kyocera's "W41K" clamshell handset is for CDMA 1X WIN, and features a 3.17MP cmaera with stabilizaton and autofocus functions. It is scheduled for release mid-February.

The camera has a CMOS sensor with an effective 3.17MP. It supports autofocus and stabilization. This stabilization is done with software processing. Because of this processing, the maximum size for sill images is a bit smaller than the effective MP of the camera; it is 3MP, bringing the maximum resolution to 2000 x 1500 dots. This stabilization can be turned off, but the maximum image size will remain the same. "Photoshop Album 3.0 Mini" is included for managing the photographs o­n a PC.

The phone supports the "au LISTEN MOBILE SERVICE" for audio. It has the au-common "au Music Player" audio playback function, and includes "au Music Port" for PCs that can rip and transfer songs to the phone. SD-Audio is not support.

Included in the recharging stand is a o­ne-channel subwoofer. When the handset is placed in its recharging stand and audio is played, low frequencies will come from the subwoofer of the recharging stand, and other frequenies will come from the stereo speakers of the handset. The package also includes a stereo earphone adapter that is equipped with a microphone. This adapter can be used as a remote for the audio playback functionality, and has buttons for volume adjustment, skipping tracks, play/pause, and so o­n. While in a BREW appli, this remote can control audio playback functions for background music.

Each color variation has a glossy coating. The external display and LED illumination are covered by a half-mirror panel. Organic EL is used for the external display, and it will display the track name of audio that is currently being played.
