NEC n412i
TheAge reviews the NEC 412i and says, about the phone's camera: "The 1.3-megapixel camera isn't very good either - the images we took turned out blurry and grainy. You're able to beam images to PictBridge compatible printers directly from the phone, though the poor image quality will probably hamper your ability to get a good print." Conclusion? "If you must have the thinnest phone on the market, the 412i delivers, but if the extra millimetres won't make a difference you'd be better off with the Motorola RAZR."
From the News Release
NEC Australia today announced that it will be launching the world's thinnest clamshell mobile phone with mega-pixel camera on the Australian market in the coming weeks. Effortlessly blending fashion with technology, the NEC N412i i-mode® mobile phone is set to take on its ultra-thin mobile rivals.
NEC™'s proprietary, cutting-edge technology has heralded the creation of a modern, smart, compact design boasting ultra-slim measurements of 47.9mm (width), 101.5mm (height),11.9mm (depth; when folded) and weight of only 96 grams.
Australia will be one of the first countries to launch the N412i, taking NEC Australia to the forefront of mobile phone innovation.
A progressive leap in style and sophistication, the N412™'s svelte body embraces an advanced technology that takes convenience and communication to a new level. Supporting mobile internet (via i-mode) and GSM/GPRS, the N412i is equipped with Bluetooth® and SyncML so users can communicate quickly and freely.
The MP3 player, two minute movie shooting capability and action-packed Java games will get user's hearts racing, while i-mode access will ensure users are on top of their i-mode email, the latest eBay bargains, news and must-see movie reviews.
Kris Tsukuda, General Manager, NEC Australia Mobile Terminals Marketing Division comments that “consumers today crave mobiles that not only have great features and technology but are also accessories that they can show off to friends and colleagues.
NEC has responded to this trend with launch of the N412i. Kris adds that “NEC recognises that style and content are key to success in the ultra-competitive mobile market. The N412i represents the start of exciting things to come in design and content innovation from NEC mobiles.
The N412i also boasts tri-band for frequent travellers, a 65k colour TFT (Thin Film Transistor) crystal display, 1.3 mega-pixel digital camera, MP3 Player, Bluetooth®, PictBridge connectivity for direct printing of photos and up to 64 polyphonic ringtones.
The N412i™'s exterior sub-display displays time and date and caller ID, while its half mirror case ensures that users look great while checking their incoming calls.
Packed full of technological wizadry - like a changeable interface and menu structure that allows for one touch access to favourite features - the N412i is the thinnest, most feature-packed mobile phone to hit Australian shores to date.
