3rd March 2006 - NTT DoCoMo, Inc. and its eight
regional subsidiaries announced today that they have developed
the third-generation (3G) FOMA™ SIMPURE™ series
of basic and compact handsets for people who do not require
highly sophisticated functions.
The series has two models, SIMPURE L, supplied by LG Electronics,
is equipped with a 1.3-megapixel camera despite its compact
size and SIMPURE N, supplied by NEC, is the smallest (as of
March 6, 2006) of all 3G FOMA handsets at 92 x 44 x 19.2 mm.
DoCoMo is also positioning the SIMPURE series for second
handsets used during international travel. SIMPURE models
are compatible with DoCoMo's WORLD WING™ roaming service
for voice calls, i-mode, short messaging service (SMS), e-mail
and videophone outside Japan with the same phone number and
e-mail address used in Japan. The models work on W-CDMA, GSM
and GPRS (packet data only) networks.
SIMPURE is a combination of the words SIMPLE and PURE.
