| 11th March 2005 - Vodafone is showcasing the first
Toshiba UMTS phone to be launched in the European market
at CeBIT 2005. The new TS 921 is an extremely versatile
model that satisfies the requirements of even the most
discerning users with its comprehensive imaging functions.
This mobile phone will be exclusively distributed by Vodafone.
The TS 921 is due to arrive in the Vodafone Shops in spring
2005.
Toshiba is one of the first choices - and not only
for business users - when it comes to high-quality notebooks.
Now, the Japanese IT and electronics enterprise has
launched an extremely versatile UMTS phone in the European
market and chosen Vodafone as its exclusive distributor.
The TS 921 has an integrated digital camera with 1.92
megapixel resolution and is distinguished by a unique
operating concept that is predestined for multimedia
services in the UMTS network.
The TS 921 has an intelligent clamshell design with
swivel action that makes it ideal for multifunctional
use. The phone can be used, like any clamshell phone,
for standard telephone calls. If the camera that was
specifically designed for videotelephony is used, callers
can see each other during the call. Videotelephony is
possible if both parties have a videotelephony-capable
phone and UMTS network coverage (already available in
700 towns and cities in Germany).The phone's swivel
action enables convenient table-top use. Stereo-quality
voice and sound fidelity is delivered in MP3 mode.
When the two halves of the housing are connected together
for taking photos or shooting short videos, the TS 921
takes on the shape of a conventional digital or video
camera. Further applications are available when the
2.4-inch display on the front of the phone is opened.
The TS 921 user can then conveniently display documents,
photos, videos or Vodafone Mobile TV programmes especially
made for UMTS mobile phones.
The TS 921 not only appeals to photography fans due
to its high-resolution 1.92 megapixel camera, it also
features the additional highlights of integrated flash
and auto focus function. The new UMTS phone also delivers
convincing results in camcorder mode. It enables the
recording of high-quality videos in MPEG4 file format,
which can be sent via the Vodafone UMTS network. The
videos can be viewed both on the phone's display and
on a standard TV screen.
The TS 921 is also an outstanding performer when it
comes to making calls. It has triband functionality
and can be used to make calls in most countries around
the world via GSM networks (900, 1,800 and 1,900 MHz).
The powerful battery enables up to 320 minutes of talktime
and 360 hours of standby operation. Other devices, such
as headsets or notebooks, can also be connected up to
the TS 921 via infrared or bluetooth.
