With an MP3 player, video and picture capturing ability, 3G data transfer, and much more, the NEC E338 seems like a feature lover’s dream phone, but the dream may be broken when the camera is revealed to no have high quality versions of any of its prominent features.

The E338 takes the functionality of a block form 3G phone, such as their E313 or E228 models, and puts it all into a more lightweight flip. Coming in two classic colors—silver and black—the E338 has a nice, streamlined image.

The eye is immediately drawn to the top mounted digital camera. With the capability of rotating 180 degrees, this camera was designed to take pictures (while you use the display as a view finder) and to facilitate video calling, incorporating 3G technology. The resolution on both the video and picture capturing is extremely poor in light of more recent advances in phone/camera hybridization, but if high resolution is not as important to you as a stylish, low price phone, then the E338 may be right for you.

With an MP3 player integrated into the device, you may wonder how just 19 MB of internal memory could support a multimedia phone such as the E338. Luckily, NEC has added a Memory Stick Duoä slot, making your potential media storage virtually endless. With the E338 and a few Memory Stick Duosä you can carry all the songs, pictures, and other media that you want, without worrying about filling up the limited memory on the device.

But alas, no Bluetoothä! Again NEC has neglected this increasingly popular method of connectivity. Bluetoothä allows you to synch your phone with a number of different devices, including a Bluetoothvä earpiece, allowing you to transfer data to friends and talk handfree all day with maximum efficiency. The lack of this feature is sure to turn some shoppers off.

The main complaints about the block form E-series were that they were too heavy and that they lacked high camera resolution and Bluetoothä. With the E338, NEC has fixed the weight and size issue, but we will have to wait for another upgrade to see about getting some higher-end features.

Sometimes the electronic device producers, including those producing mobile phones, invite famous designers to help develop their products. For example working on creation of mobile phone NEC N703iD, destined to function in 3G nets of the Japanese operator NTT DoCoMo, the NEC company cooperated with the famous designer and artist Kashiwa Sato who had various distinctions for his works.

Being honest, the design of NEC N703iD is not new and actually it is the continuation and perfection of the ideas of previous model NEC N702iD with the help of Kashiwa Sato. Among other peculiarities of NEC N703iD should be mentioned the presence of very sensitive camera which lead to lack of the light in the phone. Besides, the working time both in the waiting regime and in the communication regime is outstanding for today technologies among the NEC mobile phones of the third generation FOMA according to the producer.
Short technical features of FOMA N703iD:

* Dimensions: 96x48x15.9 mm
* Weight 103 gr.
* Main display: 2.3 inches, 240x345, TFT, reflecting more than 260 thousand colors.
* Outside display: 2.1 inches, monochrome OLED with 300x30
* Memory: memory cards MicroSD
* Outside Camera: 1.3 MP, CMOS
* Inside Camera: VGA, CMOS
* SD audio player using the music service Chaku-Uta Full.

Let’s hope that the implication of the famous designer will make the mobile phone NEC N703iD more desirable for the users!!
