NEC Announce E338
Published August 2004
Here's The Scoop
(Source: NEC) - 3’s expected Christmas portfolio will include a new, streamlined NEC clamshell (pictured), which is understood to have a working title of the E338. No prices or release dates have been announced, but sources claim that it will be a mid to low-tier proposition. The handset is tri-band, has Bluetooth capability, the usual video/MMS/ GPRS functions and 17MB of internal memory. One stand-out feature, though, is that is will also support GPS navigation functions.
We has also learned from third-party sources that Vodafone could carry Motorola’s first 3G clamshell, the V975. It is believed that it will be sold at a ‘cheap, pre-pay price point’. 3 is rumoured to have ordered substantial numbers of a candybar version of the handset.
