TOKYO-NTT DoCoMo Inc. reported it would begin marketing its FOMA T2101V 3G mobile phone designed for the carrier’s i-motion video-clip transmission service Sept. 27.
DoCoMo said the handset can save up to four 15-second or two 30-second video messages from incoming calls, and a remote sensing feature enables the handset to turn on automatically in video-phone mode when calls are received from up to 20 user-designated phone numbers of other video-equipped mobile phones.
The handset reportedly has a continuos standby time of approximately 125 hours, which is the longest of any DoCoMo FOMA phone.
DoCoMo also announced it is working with Hewlett-Packard Co. and Hewlett-Packard Japan on a multimedia content delivery network suited to third-generation and future mobile communications services.
The Mobile Streaming Media Content Delivery Network is expected to solve current problems with delivering large-scale content, including the movements of wireless users and simultaneous customer access overloading current server technology.
