Vodafone K.K. today announces that it plans to offer two new 2G models in the middle of February, the V603SH by Sharp and the V603T by Toshiba.

The V603T offers an innovative 'TV View Style' design to increase TV viewing enjoyment for customers. By holding down the unlock button located on the side of the handset while it is open, customers can push the LCD display backward a complete 360 degrees to activate the TV.

The V603SH and V603T feature analogue TV tuners, which enable both TV viewing and FM radio listening. Customers can also relive scenes from their favourite TV shows by using capture functions to record broadcasts. In addition, both handsets come equipped with an Electronic Program Guide (EPG) so customers can easily find the shows they want to watch.
