DoCoMo's WiFi cellphone announced
14 July 2004 by axxxr DoCoMo has announced the much-rumoured N900iL, its first attempt at a cellphone with wireless LAN included. It's aimed firmly at the corporate user, and shaves off a few functions common to the rest of the 900i series (large-sized Java apps, videophone avatars, infra-red remote control). However, it adds a browser that can be used either over WiFi or the packet network, a "presence" function to indicate whether a person you've registered is around or not (this only works with DoCoMo's Passage Duple service, which adds internal servers to handle this sort of thing, and doubles the number of your passages), and an instant messenger. The specs: 2.2-inch QVGA screen, 1-megapixel outside and 100,000-pixel inside cameras, miniSD card slot. Weighs 120g. Standby time is 280 hours when stationary or 230 hours on the move in cellphone mode, 230 hours in WLAN mode, and 150 hours in dual mode. Talk time is 140 minutes in cellphone mode, 160 in IP phone mode, and 80 minutes in videophone mode. We're impressed with the battery life compared to other wireless LAN phones that have appeared so far, which have been luck to reach the 50-hour mark for standby time. Comes in one colour: silver. Because silver is the colour of the future.
