J-PHONE Unveils Two New Movie Sha-mail Handsets
...the J-SA51 and J-SH52
Tokyo, Japan, Aug. 29, 2002 - (JCN Newswire) - J-PHONE Co., Ltd.
("J-PHONE") announced today it will offer two new Movie Sha-mail (video
messaging) handsets from the beginning of October 2002, the J-SA51
(manufactured by Sanyo) and the J-SH52 (manufactured by Sharp).
Movie Sha-mail is a service that enables users to send video clips of up to five
seconds with sound as e-mail attachments.
The J-SA51 features the industry's largest built-in, one-inch STN LCD
"Notification Display" and can take pictures at low light levels with its
highly sensitive embedded CCD mobile camera. In addition, the J-SA51 can
compress or expand ZIP files as well as send or receive them as e-mail
attachments.
The J-SH52 comes with new video and voice recording features compatible
with SD memory cards which allow for longer recording times. The handset
can also take pictures at VGA resolution (640 x 480 pixels) with its
310,000 pixel built-in CCD mobile camera. Camera functions are also
greatly enhanced by a mobile light and an embedded color sub-display that
can be used as a photo viewfinder.
With the addition of the J-SA51 and the J-SH52 to J-PHONE's lineup, there
is now a total of six Movie Sha-mail handsets available, thereby bringing
the pleasures of the Movie Sha-mail service to even greater number of
individuals.
J-PHONE will continue to develop advanced mobile products and services to
provide even richer communication options to individuals and businesses.
*Note: the J-SA51 and J-SH52 are exclusively for use in Japan on PDC
networks

The J-SA51's one-inch STN 65,536 color LCD "Notification Display" is
integrated into the back of the folding handset and can be used as a

enjoying Sha-mail and Movie Sha-mail, such as a three-step digital zoom

compress large files and expand ZIP files they receive. E-mail
