TOKYO-NTT DoCoMo Inc. suspended sales of one of its third-generation handsets after a software glitch was discovered.
When the screen of the T2101V FOMA handset is in energy-saving mode, the phone sometimes does not receive incoming calls, including video or e-mail messages, the operator said. Users can avoid the problem by disabling energy-saving mode, which extends battery time.
The Japanese operator has sold only about 1,640 units of the model. The company is producing replacement phones and will notify users when the new phones are ready for free replacement.
