Topic: NTT DoCoMo
The new items published under this topic are as follows.
Three new 900i series (FOMA) phones were announced by NTT DoCoMo today:
-F900iT with a touchscreen and Bluetooth
-P900iV with swivel screen, MPEG-4 recording, playback, AV out
-N900iS with some minor improvements over the N900i
More information, and plenty of pictures (since I finally have access to the DoCoMo press kits) inside.
You can probably tell from the name, but this phone is made to be small. It's made for the MOVA network (not FOMA), too.
Thought I'd drop this link in here - it's an AsiaBizTech article about how NTT DoComo will begin offering wireless hotspots on airplanes through their mzone wireless LAN service, and Boeing's Connexion technology.
We first heard about Connexion back at Mitsubishi's R&D event in February. According to the specifics of Mitsubishi's antenna (and assuming this same antenna will be used on the planes offering this service starting in August), the maximum downstream is 20Mbps and the upstream 1Mbps.
NTT DoCoMo announced on the 30th that they have recovered 42,600,000 yen from a total of 8 spammers of their "iMode" service.
This amount comes from NTT DoCoMo billing the spammers based on the 1 or 2 yen cost of each mail sent, but it's pretty creative how it was decided the spammers had to pay - the figure is based on mail that was undeliverable, so NTT was unable to collect the correct amount from any of its users. The result? Bill the people that sent the mail.
There's three phones:
-D506i from Mitsubishi
-F506i from Fujitsu
-N506i from NEC
Like always, there are advantages and disadvantages for each unit.
Plenty more details and images inside.
Only in Japan can a company announce a release date for a product as "in two days" and actually pull it off.
NTT DoCoMo has decided on a release date for the Panasonic P252iS: Friday, April 16th.
I reported on the P252iS back on April 2nd; you should take a look at that article if you're interested in this phone.
NTT DoCoMo is introducing a new phone from Panasonic, which instead of the color variations being named after the colors, they are named after foods, such as "Puchi Puchi Tomato" and "Blue Blue Berry."
Apart from this and the small size, the rest seems pretty straightforward. More details, pictures, and...flavors inside.
NTT DoCoMo announced that on March 30th, the number of FOMA contracts has hit 3,000,000. FOMA began in October of 2001.
Nevermind X10, NTT DoCoMo steps up to the plate with their answer to how home automation should be done - from your FOMA phone.
NTT DoCoMo officially announced that they will begin offering their unlimited data plan on June 1st. The name? "Pake Ho-dai."
"Pake" would be short for "packet," and "Ho-dai" means "all you can____." For example, "all you can eat" is called "viking" or "tabehoudai."
And so I've dubbed NTT DoCoMo's new unlimited data plan "All You Can PACKET!" I honestly don't think they could have chosen a better name.
