| 19th May 2005 - NTT DoCoMo, Inc. and its eight regional
subsidiaries announced today the development of the 3G
FOMA 901iS series, five handsets equipped for mobile-wallet
e-money, ticketing and other handy mobile smart-card functions.
DoCoMo expects the new series to fuel the continued
nationwide expansion of convenient mobile-wallet services.
The 901iS is also expected to further boost the popularity
of handsets equipped with FeliCa IC card technology,
which have sold more than 3.34 million units to date.
The 901iS is DoCoMo's first series in which all models
are equipped for mobile-wallet functions. Approximately
20,000 stores are offering mobile-wallet services nationwide
(as of April 1, 2005).
The five 901iS handsets are equipped with several security
features to prevent malicious use. In the event that
a 901iS phone is misplaced, for example, the owner can
call a designated phone number to lock the phone remotely.
It can also be programmed to lock automatically if left
unused for a specified period. In addition, it can be
locked manually by simply pushing a button.
901iS handsets can also be used in cells where FOMA
base stations transmit, such as mountainous areas where
regular FOMA signals are not available.
PDF file capability
Adobe Reader LE enables 901iS phones to view PDF files
downloaded from i-mode sites. All basic PDF functions
are possible, including scrolling, paging, text searches,
bookmarks and page rotation. In addition, i-mode technology
enables the user to quickly e-mail the file, as well
as dial a number or navigate to a Web link in the file.
Videophone switching
Switching between videophone and voice-only communication
is possible during connection with another 901iS handset.
