Press Releases

TOKYO, JAPAN, March 6, 2007 --- NTT DoCoMo, Inc. and its eight regional subsidiaries unveiled today Raku-Raku PHONE Basic, the newest handset in the Raku-Raku PHONE series for people interested primarily in user-friendly handsets equipped with basic functions.

The model boasts an attractive design created by Kenya Hara, renowned graphic designer and art director of popular brandless goods manufacturer Muji, in collaboration with handset maker Fujitsu and DoCoMo.

Special features include "Slow Voice", which improves comprehensibility through embedded software that slows the other person's voice speed, and "Clear Voice" noise-detection, which automatically adjusts voice and ringtone volume according to surrounding noise level. Enhanced "Read Aloud" audibly announces the name of the caller or e-mail sender and provides audio readouts of i-mode™ pages, while "Simple Mail Generation" offers preset messages for quick replies to e-mails.

The Raku-Raku PHONE Basic is compatible with i-channel™, DoCoMo's push-based service for automatically delivering news and other information as telop text on standby screens, and the text can be displayed in extra-large letters for easy reading. The "Raku-Raku iMenu" within the iMenu™ site, created specifically for the Raku-Raku PHONE family, is an easy-to-view menu that aids navigation. In addition, the handset functions as a pedometer, can measure the distance the user has walked and also calculates calorie consumption.

DoCoMo plans to market the new handset from April.

The handset's main specifications are provided in the attachment.
