14 DAY TRIAL // Hitachi, one of the largest Japanese companies in terms of employee number (more than 380,000), recently released a new mobile phone, the Wooo W62H.
The new Wooo handset comes after the W61H model, which has, besides a normal display, an e-ink one that allows users to personalize its look with 95 pre-set graphic patterns. Anyway, we're talking about the new Hitach9i phone here.
As the W61H, Wooo W62H has a clamshell form factor and it can be opened in two ways: a classical one, in which all clamshells can be opened, and a vertical one, for its mobile TV mode.
The features of Hitachi Wooo W62H include a 2.8 inch internal display with a 240 x 400 pixel resolution, external illuminated LEDs, 1Seg mobile TV capability, TV out, Bluetooth, Music player, Video player, email, Web browser, document viewer (supporting Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF files), multi-tasking capabilities, 3D games (that will probably offer users lots of fun and interactive moments), a set of English-Japanese dictionaries, USB, 800MB of internal memory that can be extended with up to another 8GB. Moreover, there's also a 2 Megapixel camera with flash, zoom and video recording, but this is not really a thing to be proud of, considering the fact that lots of new Japanese phones include 5 Megapixel cameras.
Weighing 122 grams and measuring 106 x 51 x 18.2 millimeters (when closed), theW62H has a battery capable of providing up to 4.3 hours of talk-time and up to 230 hours of stand-by time.
Hitachi Wooo W62H will be soon available in Japan in three color versions, blue, black and silver, sold by au KDDI, the carrier that also offers the new Toshiba Sportio. As most of the phones released on the Japanese market, Hitachi Wooo W62H will probably never be available in another country.
