2nd August 2005 - NTT DoCoMo, Inc. and its eight regional
subsidiaries announced today that they have developed new
3G FOMA® handsets, FOMA DOLCE and SA700iS. FOMA DOLCE
will be released nationwide on August 5, while SA700iS's launch
date has not been determined yet but is expected to be soon.
FOMA DOLCE is an elegant handset covered with artificial
leather. "Mobile Advanced Super-V LCD with Switchable
Viewing Angle" can be viewed at a narrow or wide angle
for easy reading, while illuminated one-touch keys can be
used to create shortcuts to phonebook, mail addresses and
others. In addition, an independent volume control key makes
it easy to adjust volume even during a call.
SA700iS is the first FOMA handset with GPS capability. Navigation
functions can be started at a single touch of the dedicated
button, and there is a link to i-area to make searching for
locations even easier. Users can also print images directly
from the handset by simply connecting the phone to a printer
with the FOMA USB cable.
FOMA DOLCE will be marketed from August 5 through all DoCoMo
sales channels nationwide. The price of the handset will be
open (unfixed). Standard accessories that come with the handsets,
but can also be purchased separately, include battery pack
(1,470 yen), AC adapter (945 yen) and desktop holder (630
yen). These prices, which include tax, are for the Kanto-Koshinetsu
area only.
