KDDI suspends sales of EV-DO handsets

December 3, 2003

Japan's KDDI has temporarily suspended sales of new handsets for its recently introduced advanced 3G service because of software glitches. KDDI, the second largest mobile operator in Japan, launched its high speed CDMA 1X WIN service based on CDMA2000 1x EV-DO technology on November 28.

The software problem leaves users unable to 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 around 7,200 of the faulty handsets made by Hitachi. KDDI aims to continue sales of the new handsets on December 8 once the software problem is resolved. Hitachi will cover the cost of the repair, the KDDI spokesman said.

EV-DO is an upgrade of CDMA2000 1X, which KDDI launched back in April 2002 and has a data transmission speed of 2.4 megabits per second. The new service enables KDDI to introduce new content-rich services such as live video distribution, video downloads, electronic publishing and multimedia messaging with video capabilities.
