FOMA

2001-03-06

FOMA = Freedom of Mobile multimedia Access. It's NTT DoCoMo's name for W−CDMA service which starts here in Japan in May, less than 2 months away.

I was in Shinjuku today wondering around and I stumbled upon the DoCoMo tryout center. They had some of the FOMA phone models on display. 384K to the phone, 64K from. Fast enough for reasonable video.

They also had FOMA PCMCIA cards for Notebook PCs. I think I'll have to switch from J−Phone at that time.
