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.
