Toshiba launches i-mode phone as first European product

CAMBERLEY, United Kingdom-Toshiba launched its first European mobile phone-the TS21i-in the Netherlands through KPN Mobile. The phone will offer one-touch access to KPN Mobile’s i-mode service.

“Since we announced our intention to produce mobile phones for the European market, we have been working hard to ensure that our first product not only looks great but is also easy to learn and use,” said Seiji Yasunaga, general manager of Toshiba’s European Mobile Communications Division. “Combined with the colorful and ever developing i-mode services offered by KPN Mobile, we believe that the TS21i will be the first in a long line of successful handsets from Toshiba for the European mobile market.”

Toshiba has manufactured mobile phones for more than 15 years in the Japanese and North American markets. The company’s European division was set up last year.
