3G Handset Holiday Snaps Instantly

Europe : Customers of the SANYO 3G mobile handset, the S750i, can now print their holiday photos instantly, thanks to the SANYO DVP-P1 EX colour printer.

To celebrate the warmer months and ensure happy holiday-snappers get the most from their S750i, the Japanese electronics giant in conjunction with Orange is offering customers a cutting edge printer that enables fast and smooth printouts in postcard size. In this bundle promotion, customers of the S750i in Orange shops can purchase the SANYO DVD-P1EX (RRP £159.99) with durable paper and an ink cartridge pack for 50 prints, for just £29.99, whilst stocks last. The handset is exclusive to Orange customers.

Using PictBridge printing technology, a handy feature on the S750i, the SANYO DVP-P1 EX delivers high-quality photo printouts from your mobile in seconds, with no need for a computer or software installations – the photo printer will let you share your summer memories with family and friends.

The SANYO 3G phone comes with a 1.3 megapixel camera to shoot high resolution pictures captured in a 2.4 inch high resolution QVGA LCD, one of the largest screens currently on the market. The DVP-P1 EX printer, boasts over 16.7 million colours, so printing razor sharp holiday photos has never been easier.

“Camera phones continue to gain popularity across the UK. There are more and more people using mobile phones to take pictures whilst away. We are now offering our customers the chance to print these images, so moments can be captured, shared and kept,” said Nobuyuki Fujioka, Project Manager, SANYO Europe Ltd.

The DVP-P1 EX printer uses a simple USB cable (included with the S750i) to exchanges data between the internal memory of the phone and printer. The printer can also read memory cards such as SD Card, Memory Stick, SmartMedia and Compact Flash storage.

SANYO revamped its successful 3G handset, S750i, earlier this summer. This included a design facelift and additional features such as a 32MB SD Card, providing more memory for customers to store high resolution pictures, long recorded videos, mp3 music files and other files.

“Our entry into the UK 3G market has been a tremendous success, with a great response from consumers. This offer is to provide customers with more excitement and added value they can find in our S750i as well as from SANYO CE products, such as this printer. It is the first time that a printer bundle promotion has been available in Orange shops and we are grateful to contribute on this based on the partnership we enjoy,” added Masatsugu Yamano, President of SANYO FISHER Sales (Europe) GmbH and also responsible for SANYO’s European mobile phone business.
