2.5G Wireless Pay & Go Handset for O2

21st October , 2004

Europe : NEC announced the launch of the e101, a 2.5G/GPRS enabled camera phone, which will be available on O2’s Pay&Go tariff.

Combining a WAP 2.0 browser and MIDP 2.0 JAVATM engine, the e101 offers access to the 02 Active suite of content and services. Customers have a simple means of navigating an icon based menu to retrieve a wide range of mobile data and multimedia services, including MMS messaging, colour games, chat, music, sport, entertainment and information downloads.

The clamshell style e101 is a compact, lightweight (85g) handset with an integrated VGA 300K pixel camera and a 1.8 inch, 65K colour screen. The handset showcases NEC’s ability to deliver stylish and user-friendly handsets.

The internal 128x160 pixel display offers high picture resolution and a second external LCD shows caller-ID, so no matter when your handset is set to a discrete mode for meetings, you can always see who is trying to reach you.

The e101 offers great image functionality and has the ability to take pictures in four different formats - Full Colour (Normal), Monochrome (Black and White), Sepia and Bluish, which can be shared with friends and family via MMS (Multimedia Messaging Services).

The handset enables users to download pictures from the Internet quickly and efficiently and features JAVATM technology for the latest games and applications – giving the user the option to play the preloaded games (Raida and DeepWar) or download the latest game releases from O2 Active.

Triband functionality makes the e101 the ideal companion for the frequent traveller to the United States.

Other features allowing for the personalisation of the e101 handset include the capacity to store up to sixteen 40-channel polyphonic ringtunes. Individual ringtunes and photographs can then be set to identify incoming callers.

“As mobile terminals continue to evolve, NEC is developing handsets that deliver sophisticated and desirable features widening the NEC portfolio of stylish handsets on offer. The e101 is very sleek and compact, with no compromise on either functionality or style. It has been specifically designed to address consumer demand for quick and easy Internet browsing and will beautifully showcase the breadth of content available on 02 Active to its best. said Tony Hutson, Director, NEC UK.

The e101 will be available from mid-October through selected retail outlets across the UK.
