NEC e808Y video mobile now available from selected 3 dealers on 3UK
July 16, 2003
3UK announced it is selling a new video mobile from NEC. The new device,
the NEC e808Y, is the fourth video mobile to become available on 3.
The NEC e808Y is the first of a number of new video mobiles that will
be available on 3's network over the next six months. The handset includes
two built-in cameras, for video calls and capturing video and still images,
it sports a full QWERTY keyboard and email client, a large (46 x 57mm)
65,536 colour screen, and 16 channel polyphonic ring tunes, for distinctive
quality alerts. The new video mobile’s screen offers 40% more viewing
area than the popular e606 and is designed to offer unrivaled access to
3's unique services and compelling content.
The cost of the e808Y had been set the same as the other handsets with
prices starting from £99.99 on the VideoTalk 500 monthly package while
3UK would offer the handset for free on VideoTalk 750 or over. Customers
opting for the 3toGo tariff would pay £269 for the videophone.
3's messaging services include SMS, MMS, video messaging and email. The
NEC e808Y has a full QWERTY keyboard making emailing and texting easy,
as it can cut time spent button tapping by over two thirds.
3 services are on sale in over 2,000 shops nationwide - from 'stores
within stores' in Superdrug shops, to third party retailers such as Carphone
Warehouse, Phones4U and Dixons Group.
Gareth Jones, COO of 3 UK commented, "We believe it important to offer
our customers a choice of video mobiles and the e808Y is the latest model,
we will continue to expand our range of video mobiles throughout the year.
Services such as video messaging, email and video news bulletins are proving
incredibly popular and we've seen clear demand among certain customers
for larger screens and a full keyboard for faster texting."
"The e808Y is an important milestone in the continued development of
video mobile services in Europe," said Tony Hutson, Director, NEC UK.
"Handset choice is vital in driving the take up of 3G. Each mobile device
customer has different tastes, and we’re extending our portfolio to cater
for this diversity."
NEC is one of the leading suppliers of 2.5G and 3G mobile devices, and
delivered the world's first 3G devices to NTT DoCoMo in Japan. In Europe,
NEC is already supplying two video mobile models to 3, the e606 and e808N/e808S
(which comes in two colours: champagne gold and black). NEC is the only
manufacturer in Europe with handsets in the market that support live video
calls.
