No, I don't like this as much as the INFOBAR [1]. It still looks pretty nifty though. Vodafone will release the "KOTO -V303T," a phone made by Toshiba with a novel design consisting of the fusion of "peace and modern," in the back part of May. The "KOTO" is a design-conscious flip phone which fuses the elements of harmony and modern design, onto the concept of the ubiquitous beauty still reamining nowadays. The base of the phone is made by Toshiba, and it adopts design concepts from the Japanese music instrument, the kodo, with straight lines and a spread out body. The body surface of the phone gives off a feeling of lustre, and the button part is frosted, giving off the fealing of calm material. The main display is a 2.2", QVGA (240 x 320 dot), max 260,000 color super-fine polysilicon LCD. The subdisplay is a 1", 60 x 80 dot, 65,536 color STN LCD. It features a 320,000 pixel CMOS camera, and can record videos up to 3 minutes in length. Ringers up to 40 channels are support, and songs from Toshiba EMI's "NOW JAZZ BEST millenium" jazz CD, as well as 10 JAZZ numbers are preset. Both large character and simple modes are included. The continuous talk time is 120 minutes, and the continuous idle time is 360 hours. The size is 48 x 94 x 26mm (W x H x T), and the weight is 108g. There are two body colors - B (Black), and R (Vermilion).
