For those of you that are doctors or even nurses, there is a rumor saying that NTT DoCoMo is creating a targeted mobile phone for you. It’s supposed to use the DoCoMo 3G FOMA structure to access the medical records database whenever they need to consult someone on the phone. I am not sure how this is going to happen. Will the records be on the phones memory? What if you lose your phone? That’s sensitive data. However if it’s not than it means you will access the medical records from the hospital directly from your phone. How secure is that?

I may not be a fan of the idea but if it’s going to go worldwide (which I don’t think it will) you’d better think of other niches that may use it, like lawyers to offer phone consultations.

NTT DoCoMo recently revealed details of their upcoming FOMA 904i mobile phone series meant as an upgrade to the previous 903i lineup. Benefiting from a gorgeous slim design all the five handsets in the series are definitely a pleasure for the eye.

But that is just the beginning as many functions come with the newly announced products. Functions like audio and video playback are included and customers also have the ability of downloading full length music files directly on the handsets. Another neat feature is the “2 in 1″ service that offers two mobile phone numbers on the same device and users can either switch from one to the other one or have them active both at the same time.

Details on the price are not yet available but the handsets will be available by the end of June so the waiting is short. - Marius TRUSCULESCU -

Announced last month for April 18th, a new mobile phone was showed today by NTT DoCoMo at the Design Week which currently takes place in Milan, Italy.

Available in 4 colors, Orange Cut, Day and Night, Urban Blue, and Pink Soda, the new N904i has the mark of Stefano Giovannoni, who also designed NTT DoCoMo’s booth in Milan. According to the press release, Stefano Giovannoni worked together with the design teams of NTT DoCoMo and NEC for the gorgeous clamshell.- Marius TRUSCULESCU -

NTT DoCoMo unveiled today a new 3G clamshell targeted at the businessmen class. Benefiting from a stylish yet serious design the small phone (102 x 50 x 24 mm, 131 grams) comes in the nero color (a fancy word for something that for me seems black).

Unlike regular clamshells the FOMA F903iBSC has no exterior display, only 2.4″ QVGA (240 x 320 dots) color TFT LCD screen. And that is not the only thing different about this mobile phone. Built with the focus on security the device lacks features that are usually included in normal handsets. There is no digital camera, nu music player, no JAVA based applications, no external memory, no USB or Infrared connectivity and the phonebook can host just 101 contacts that can be deleted remotely if the device is stolen.Moreover the FOMA F903iBSC can be locked upon shut down and biometric fingerprint or passwords can be used to have access to the phone’s functions again.

The FOMA F903iBSC business will be available starting March 19 in Japan, but it won’t be sold to regular DoCoMo shops as only the DoCoMo corporate business division will sell it.
