There's 5 models - two from Sharp (V602SH & V402SH), o­ne from Toshiba (V601T), o­ne from Sanyo (V401SA), and o­ne from Mitsubishi Electric (V401D).
"World's firsts" this time around include an optical zoom, which goes well with the 2MP camera o­n the V602SH. The Mitsubishi model also has a 2MP camera, and the phone can be operated by "finger tracing."
Since vodafone has a pretty detailed press release available in English [1] (PDF which seems to have some copy protection ), I'll just make a couple of notes about each phone and put some pictures with it.
