sure would like some updates on our divisions working with NTT DoCoMo.... 3G phones keep on ringing for DoCoMo TOKYO Thursday 4 October 2001 Japanese mobile carrier NTT DoCoMo says it is being flooded with complaints about retail outlets selling out of its super-fast mobile phones that went on sale on Monday. NTT DoCoMo is offering the world's first 3G, or third-generation, mobile phone service. It includes videophones, and zips information at 40 times the speed of current mobile phones. The videophone is the most popular feature of 3G because callers can see each other's faces on the phone displays. An upgrade of DoCoMo's current Internet-linking i-mode phone and a card-type model for data transmission are also on sale. On Monday, 4000 3G handsets were sold - about 1600 videophones, another 1600 of the i-mode upgrade, and about 800 cards, DoCoMo said. "It is great news many stores sold out, but we also apologise," said NTT DoCoMo president Keiji Tachikawa. Orders were now out to handset manufacturers, he said. The 3G service is initially limited to the Tokyo area, and DoCoMo intends a slow roll-out because of possible glitches. The company has its sights on 150,000 3G users by March. i-mode has attracted 27 million Japanese since 1999.
