| Wireless Watch Japan: New DoCoMo Handsets - 505iS or SOS call for 2G? |
|
|
|
Tokyo, Oct 21, 2003 (JCN) - Six months on from NTT DoCoMo's largely successful counterattack - via the new 2G 505i handsets - on Vodafone's Sha mail photo messaging service, the market-leading carrier has launched its next set of fab-five 505iS (S= second-generation) phones with working models, mockups, and three models (call girls?) - but, unfortunately, without the lovely Ai Kato (see our 505i launch Viewpoint).
On top of entering the 2-megapixel camera war, the 505iS-series offer both JAN- and QR-standard bar-code reader capability (Cool! Get all your details in a flash!); a DoCoMo representative we interviewed gave strong hints that the 505iS may be DoCoMo's final, or next-to-final, second-generation PDC upgrade. With the company seeking to emulate KDDI's hugely successful push from 2G to 3G, migrating customers onto FOMA/W-CDMA in the latter half of next year is more vital than ever.
As DoCoMo'! s recent FOMA predictions arch up Chuck Yeager/stolen-Starfighter-like toward the stratosphere, or at least the top right of the graphs, what gives FOMA The Right Stuff? Is this the end of the road for second generation?
