Tech Stop


W42S

W42S? Yup, a new model has launched again after W850i. Too bad it is only for Japan. Specifications about it are below:

"Size: 106x49x24 mm
Mass: 123g
Battery life: approx 200 minutes calltime - 250 hours standby - 30 hours music playback.
Main Display: 2.2 inch QVGA (240x320) TFT liquid crystal with 260,000 colours
Memory: 1GB exclusively for music use. 38MB for other uses. Supports MS PRO Duo.
Camera: 1.25 megapixel CMOS (max movie size QVGA for 30 minutes.)"

Point of view: Really stylish phone compared with the previous Walkman Handphone and NOKIA's. The bright jelly looking lights in the middle of the directional pad and the ring lights surrounds the play/stop button are the main attraction for me. Screen visualization is swift too. Not sure about the functions.
