5th August 2005 - The first Toshiba UMTS phone in Europe
is exclusively available from Vodafone.
- 1.92 megapixel camera and large display
- Intelligent clamshell mechanism for extremely versatile
use
- Ideal for videotelephony and Vodafone Mobile TV
The Toshiba Mobile Communications Division (MCD) has joined
forces with Vodafone in an exclusive strategic marketing partnership
to launch its first UMTS phone for the European market. The
new TS921 is an extremely versatile mobile phone model with
comprehensive imaging functions and a video output that satisfies
the requirements of even the most discerning users. The Toshiba
UMTS phone will be available from the beginning of August
2005 onwards at the Vodafone shops for as little as EUR 99.50*
per month in conjunction with a Vodafone UMTS Per-Minute Package
Plus 100 tariff.
Professional quality mobile TV, photo and video functions
Not only does the TS 921 boast convincing technical features,
it is also perfect for using the new multimedia services in
the Vodafone live! UMTS network!. For example, the Mobile
TV service - which offers 15 channels in the genres of sport,
music, news and entertainment - enables users to watch news
programmes, comedy clips, the latest football highlights and
other content on their mobile phone. The content is streamed
via UMTS and displayed in optimum quality thanks to the phone's
extra-large display, high resolution and intelligent clamshell
and swivel mechanism. This also applies for video clips taken
by the user. A video output function enables the transformation
of the phone into a mobile video recorder that can be connected
up to any TV set with the appropriate port for a multimedia
show. Short, high-quality videos in MPEG4 file format can
also be recorded and sent via the Vodafone UMTS network.
The TS 921 not only appeals to photography fans due to its
high-resolution 1.92 megapixel camera, it also has the additional
features of integrated flash and auto focus.
Over five hours of continuous talktime for worldwide calls
The TS921 is also a top performer when it comes to voice calls.
It is a triband phone that 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 270 hours of standby operation. Other devices,
such as headsets or notebooks, can also be connected up to
the TS 921 via infrared or bluetooth.
Video calls via the Vodafone live! portal are easy with the
phone's sub-camera and integrated display swivel mechanism.
