29th September 2005 - Toshiba today announced the Toshiba
803, Vodafone exclusive mobile phone, its first combined 3G
phone and music player.
The Toshiba 803 features an external music player, allowing
users easy access to music on the move. The external 1.3inch
screen displays artist names, song length and other details
so users can find and play music at a glance, as well as scrolling
through tracks and saving files in playlists.
The handset is capable of playing music while users surf
the net or perform other functions which means they can enjoy
the complete functionality of the phone, without compromise.
“The Toshiba 803 gives users their music player and
mobile phone in one device,” said Nick Tanigawa, General
Manager of Toshiba’s Mobile Communications Division.
“Our aim has been to create a product that works as well
as a music device as it does as a mobile phone.”
The slick, clamshell handset also features a 2.2 megapixel
camera, stereo twin speakers and BluetoothTM. It has a standby
time of up to 270 hours and talk time of up to 320 minutes*.
The Toshiba 803 builds on the recent launch of Toshiba’s
TS 921, its first ever 3G mobile phone for Europe, and the
TS 10 2.5G fashion phone.
The Toshiba 803 is exclusively available on the Vodafone
network.
