Japan: New Handset Announcements in August

Vodafone introduced two handsets from Sharp in August: the V903SH, a WCDMA-compatible 3G phone, and the V302SH, running on 2G PDC network. DoCoMo, in its turn, released the F881iES, a.k.a. the FOMA Raku-Raku Phone 2 from Fujitsu.

The V903SH sells for ¥17,000~¥20,000 ($153~$180) with a new contract activation, while the entry-level V302SH’s price is set at ¥5,000 ($45) with a new contract.

DoCoMo’s FOMA Raku-Raku Phone 2 is the sixth in its series and spots ‘Easy Voice’ feature, which can make the hearing of the conversation partner easier by slowing down his speech. It sells for ¥22,000 ($198).
