NEC N705iμ for NTT DoCoMo with LiMo open-source OS
by admin on Feb.21, 2008, under NEC
LiMo seem to be doing well pulling in major manufacturers to use their open-source Linux mobile OS; after Panasonic’s P905i yesterday, today we have the NEC N705iμ. It might not be as mobile TV focused as the Panasonic, but the N705iμ is far more pocket-friendly: just 9.8mm thick yet still boasting a 3-inch 240 x 427 WQVGA display.
The N705iμ also has HSDPA, a 2-megapixel camera and 190-minute talktime. The outer display is an array of LEDs. It weighs just 98g, overall measures 105 x 49 x 9.8mm, and will be available on the NTT DoCoMo network in Japan
