NTT DoCoMo will be introducing the "M-1000" handset from Motorola, a W-CDMA/GSM/GPRS device that features the Symbian OS.

NTT DoCoMo has developed the W-CDMA and GPRS supporting Motorola FOMA handset. It is scheduled to be released during "bonus season."

The "M1000" is a FOMA handset by Motorola that supports both W-CDMA and GSM/GPRS. The W-CDMA system supports both 800MHz and 2GHz bands, while the GSM/GPRS supports 900, 1800, and 1900MHz bands. The handset is slightly different from other FOMA handsets in that it does not support i-Mode services such as i-Mode websites, i-Mode mail, i-Motion, and Character Den. It is also exempt from the "All You Can PACKET!" fixed-rate data plan. However, it can use SMS and TV phone functions.

DoCoMo is aiming the new FOMA M1000 at consumers and business users. Their target audience is "those in their 30s or 40s with high IT literacy," and the phone will be for "business consumers." Like other handsets, the M1000 is planned to be offered at conventional DoCoMo shops. Though it is listed at Open Price, it is estimated to cost around the same as a PDA.

The units OS is Symbian OS 7.0, and it is contained in flash memory. Though 19MB of user area is available in this memory, the unit also features a TransFlash card slot. A 32MB type TransFlash card is scheduled to be included in the package. No details have been revealed about the CPU in the device.

Also, the unit features two cameras: a 1.31MP CMOS sensor o­n the reverse, and a 0.31MP CMOS camera o­n the front above the display portion. Said display is a 2.9" 208 x 320 dot touchpanel TFT capable of displaying 65,536 colors. o­n the top of the unit's body is a stylus that can extend to two different lengths.

The handset has no number keys, and is thus operated by a software keyboard. Characters can be input using QWERTY, handwritten (hiragana), phone-touch, and "two touch." Also, when making a call, pushing buttons o­n the display will cause the display to vibrate, bringing a "real key" feeling to software keys. Japanese (42,000 words), English > Japanese (65,000 words), and Japanese > English (36,000 words) dictionary functions are also available.
