Wait, Taiwan? i-mode? Yep, turns out that Far EasTone Telecommunications licenses NTT DoCoMo's well-known mobile internet brand for use in Taiwan, and they've partnered with Nokia to deliver the service on a customized version of the 6124 classic candybar -- the first Nokia ever to offer it. Of course, no i-mode handset is complete without blazing data speeds, and sure enough, the 6124 classic delivers with support for HSDPA in addition to a 2 megapixel cam, QVGA display, and S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1. Yep, that's right, not only is Nokia tying up with i-mode, they're doing so on an honest-to-goodness smartphone. Kudos![Via IntoMobile]
Geez- they got the i-mode, couldn't they get the nice phones to go with it?
hmm... they do, the Sharp TX-W92 just went on sale on Far Eastone in Taiwan this Sunday, which is the same phone as the Softbank 920SH.
Oh, that's nice. I'd have thought though that if they're partnering with DoCoMo that they'd be getting phones from them instead of Softbank, though.
