Today, Vodafone announced its 902T 3G phone, by Toshiba, to be introduced in Europe in April, and later in Japan. Is it safe to infer that the 902T has an MSM6250 inside? I always like to get confirmation, but I havent heard anything about Toshiba working with anybody except Qualcomm. If I was a betting man (and I am <g>), I would put my money on the MSM6250. I really like the sound of this VOD/Toshiba partnership....a range of exclusive 3G handsets are planned starting in the second quarter. This is the type of arrangement that can really help establish Toshiba's brand in Europe. vodafone.com Slacker

Here's another one... VODAFONE BRINGS TOSHIBA HANDSETS OUT OF JAPAN 10 Mar 2005 European entry for Toshiba Vodafone will bring Toshiba mobile phones into Europe in the second quarter of 2005 when it adds two Toshiba models to its 3G range. Toshiba is already a supplier of 2G handsets to Vodafone KK in Japan. The first handset to be made available under the new relationship is the Vodafone TS 921, a tri-band device with a 1.9 Megapixel camera with auto focus. The branding of the device emphasises Vodafone's need for brandable, customisable devices. It may also help Vodafone's relationship with its supplier in Japan to be opening a few doors for it in Europe and other territories. Peter Bamford, Chief Marketing Officer of Vodafone said, “Toshiba is one of the largest electronics manufacturers in the world and a significant player in the Japanese mobile market. By building on our existing relationship and experience with Toshiba in Japan, as well as our existing partnerships with some of the world’s leading handset manufacturers, we can offer our customers an even greater range of exclusive Vodafone live! with 3G enabled handsets.” Chikahiro Yokota, Corporate Vice President, President and CEO for Toshiba Corporation’s Mobile Communications Company, one of Toshiba’s in-house companies said: “Vodafone’s commitment to making 3G a reality across the world makes them an ideal partner for Toshiba as we enter the 3G handset market.” The Vodafone TS 921 will be on show on the Toshiba and Vodafone stands at CeBIT in Hannover, starting 10 March 2005. mobileeurope.co.uk
