NTT DoCoMo, Inc announced today that the F2051 3G handset, which boasts extended stand-by and the ability to e-mail video clips taken with its own camera, will go on sale January 18, 2003.

The F2051 offers approximately 170 hours of continuous dynamic stand-by, or about 230 hours of static stand-by, some 3.3 times longer than original FOMA models.

Moreover, the F2051 is compatible with the new i-motion mail(TM) service, also to be launched on January 18, which enables users to e-mail about 15-second/100 KB video clips taken with the handset's built-in camera, or files downloaded from sites.

The model is equipped with a 2.2-inch 65,536 TFT color display and comes with a built-in CCD camera for photos and video clips (15 frames/second). The camera rotates 270 degrees. It also offers a variety of photo editing functions, such as cropping (for superimposing into other photos) and automatic brightness adjustment.
