Nikkei today is reporting that Mitsubishi’s mobile phone devision is going the end business from today. Mitsubishi will continue supporting its devices and wants to strengthen the partnership with NTT Docomo through the communication related business.

How sad is this, I never had the chance to grab one of Mitsu’s phones to try out. Maybe it is a good time to do so. The D905i from NTT Docomo looks yummie!!Source: Read the whole story

NTT Docomo let loose today the P905iTV handset. This version comes with a 1Seg TV-Tuner prior to the old P905i series. The phone also features a PEAKS engine powered 3.5″ screen sporting a 854×480 pixel resolution, the usual 3G/Word Wing, GPS, 1GB built-in memory and a 2 megapixel cam with autofocus. The P905iTV is also DCMX iD friendly.

Well it’s Sharp again. This time for the carrier NTT DoCoMo. The new handset called the FOMA SH 904i sports a big 3inch Aquos QVGA mobile ASV crystal screen, a new user interface called the Touch Cruiser, a aluminium body, a second LED illuminatied (OLED?) sub display etc., all together bundled with a few new features like panoramic photography, one touch calligraphic style letter enlargement (seems to be very important), a card reader (eh?) and more. Available starting may 25th in in colors black, white, pink and blue.

What the folks over in Japan are enjoying since years are we may also getting now. The GSM Association is on behalve to get everyone together for a global e-Wallet standard. You read it, it’s for global! Until now, they got carriers AT&T, NTT DoCoMo, Vodafone, and KTF (say US, Japan, Europe and South Korea) and manufacturer’s Nokia, Samsung, and LG for their initiative. Intersting thingy here, one of the global players, NTT DoCoMo, who’s using its FeliCa based Osaifu-Keitai at the time being is also in the camp. So, paying tickets for train, cinema, food and other services, will at least come to europe. As soon as this will be available, count me on!
