NTT DoCoMo, Inc. and its eight regional subsidiaries today announced that SH700i, the second handset in the new 3G FOMA 700i series, would be launched through DoCoMo sales channels nationwide on February 25.

The SH700i comes with a 2.2" high-quality screen and AQUOS LCD TV technology, which enables the screen to be viewed clearly from wide angles. The camera is mounted at a 10 angle from the base, making it easier to take self-portraits while looking at the main display.

A discrete button activates video record on/off and video save, or video folder display when held down longer. Speedy Lab movie enables videos to be edited with voiceover, telops, etc. Separate video clips stored on a miniSD memory card can be linked for seamless playback.
