Music phone from NEC holds up to 1,000 songs

In Japan, Vodafone prepares for the spring launch of the 804N, a music phone from NEC. The 804N will be the first model manufactured by NEC for Vodafone with a dual WCDMA/ GSM 900/1800/1900 bands support. GSM support means you can take this phone abroad and use it with the Vodafone service over there.

But the main feature of this phone is its remarkable storage capacity – 450MB of internal memory plus up to 512MB of expandable memory (microSD card slot). All this memory is needed for music playback (non-secure AAC and secure MP3 file formats). The handset has dedicated buttons to play, fast-forward, and rewind music. The retail price with the carrier’s subsidies is expected to be around 15,000 yen ($127).

Here are some additional specs of this phone:

• Size: 48mm x 93mm x 23mm
• Weight: 115g
