NOMOGO recalls 1,500 new FOMA Phones DoCoMo recalls 1,500 new 3G phones due to glitch By Reuters staff 26 November 2001 NTT DoCoMo Inc, Japan's dominant wireless carrier, said on Monday that 1,500 of its latest third-generation mobile phones would be recalled because of a software glitch that causes some of its memory to be lost. The phones, the FOMA N2002 built by NEC Corp, are capable of downloading short video clips over DoCoMo's 3G wireless network and were introduced along with a video streaming service a week ago. Sales of the FOMA phone, named after Freedom of Mobile Multimedia Access, DoCoMo's brand for 3G services, will be halted from today. They will be replaced from December 1 when sales resume, DoCoMo said in a statement. The N2002 loses its Internet e-mail, application downloads and certain settings when accessing certain Web sites, due to a software bug, DoCoMo said. The video streaming service, called "i-motion", was put back because of technical problems and the time it took for video clips to begin playing during downloads. The 3G launch itself suffered a four-month delay until its commercial launch on October 1. The N2002 is an upgrade to the standard model phone first introduced in October, and is different from the P2101V, which has a built-in mini camera for video conferencing. DoCoMo shares closed 6.63 percent higher at 1.77 million yen, leading a broad rally in Tokyo stocks that pushed the Nikkei average up 3.44 percent. totaltele.com
