Curitel Communications' new PH-S5000V and PH-K1000V phones offer a one-two punch. Not only do they pack 3.1 megapixel video cameras, they have TV receivers, too.
Curitel Communications has released two new CDMA phones, utilizing a docking design to offer two key features; a 3.1 megapixel video camera and a TV tuner.
A 3.1 megapixel camera and a TV tuner in one
The PH-S5000V and PH-K1000V are largely similar. Both use what Curitel terms a "mini docking complex" (MDC), which allows specialized accessories to be clipped to the back of the phone sideways. The phones' key feature, of course, is the 3.1 megapixel digital camera. Although it lacks an optical zoom, the camera includes a mechanical shutter for automatically adjusting to light and motion conditions, as well as auto-focus and red-eye reduction. Not surprisingly, it also includes a built-in flash.
The other main feature of the PH-S5000V and PH-K1000V is the included MDC module that offers TV receiver, video recorder, and FM radio functionality. The module includes FM radio support and both VHF and UHF broadcast television support, including both NTSC and PAL encoding standards, and is capable of recording up to 90 minutes of video from either TV broadcast or through the built-in camera, courtesy of the 1 gigabyte of internal memory. The phones also function as an MP3 player.
Both phones weigh 105 grams, and provide data service via 1xEV-DO over a CDMA network. The PH-K1000V measures 94 x 48 x 25 mm and sports a single 2 inch color TFT display, while the slightly larger PH-S5000V measures 100.1 x 49.6 x 25.5 mm and offers an internal color display as well as a smaller external color TFT display. The PH-K1000V also offers an electronic dictionary and optical character recognition software, while the PH-S5000V includes TV output capability.

@axxxr - So in effect it is not really a TV tuner, it just records videos  All along I really thought that NEC will be the one who'll release the 1st celfone with a built-in TV tuner by next year, as it was announced way back in 2002  . . . . |

Analog TV receiver in the mobile phone - basicly useless. TV in a mobile makes sense when you have DVB-H through IP datacast in place. |

Could you please qualify why you think having an Analog TV receiver as useless.....
I think that it is a great idea, as long as they have the screen hardware to support it......or is this just one of those great in prototypes but not practical....
You input would be greatly appreciated.....

Furthermore, users can download high quality video clips and live streaming video feeds, and can store up to 40 music tracks on its inbuilt MP3 player. The MPEG-4 camcorder allows up to five hours of continuous filming and recording to the PH-K1000V's one gigabit of internal memory while the 3.1-megapixel CMOS camera with its mechanical shutter, built-in flash and red-eye reduction takes some of the best pictures found on any camera phone.

"Nextreaming has helped bring cutting edge functionality to the PH-K1000V so that users can not only watch and record TV on the handset, but also download high quality video clips, live streaming video and MP3. PH-K1000V users can also send high resolution pictures and movies to friends 3G handsets and PC's over MMS."
