| 3G Handset Sales Suspended |
|
2nd December , 2003 |
|
The announcement comes just four days after KDDI's au mobile phone unit launched a high-speed 3G service based on the CDMA2000 1x EV-DO format, developed by U.S. wireless technology company Qualcomm Inc. Users cannot activate game software that is downloaded after more than 6,000 data files such as e-mails are already stored in the handsets, a KDDI spokesman said. As of Monday, the company had sold about 7,200 of the handsets, made by Hitachi Ltd. The company aims to resume sales of the new handsets on December 8, after the software problem is resolved. KDDI has no estimate on the cost of the repair, but it will be covered by Hitachi, the KDDI spokesman said. The EV-DO service offers data transmission speeds of up to 2.4 megabits per second, or six times as fast as rival NTT DoCoMo Inc's 3G service, which is based on the competing W-CDMA format and has a top speed of 384 kilobits per second. ©
