Vodafone K.K. announces the development of the Vodafone 905SH by Sharp, a new 3G handset capable of receiving "One Seg" terrestrial digital TV broadcasts. The new model is planned for June 2006, a time scheduled for international football matches.

The Vodafone 905SH features a "Cycloid Style" LCD that can rotate 90 degrees to a horizontal position. In addition to hand-held viewing, the Vodafone 905SH is also great for relaxed TV enjoyment at home - even in open position, the handset is stable when placed on a flat surface and set at a desired viewing angle. The handset has a large-size 2.6-inch Mobile ASV LCD, which is based on ASV (Advanced Super View) technology for vivid, wide-angle viewing, found in Sharp's AQUOS line of LCD TVs. A 6 colour filter also enables unrivaled colour purity in digital and analogue TV broadcasts, even while outdoors.

The main features of the Vodafone 905SH are as follows:

• Capable of receiving terrestrial digital and analogue TV broadcasts
• "Cycloid Style" 90 degree rotating LCD, optimal for watching TV
• Large-size 2.6-inch Mobile ASV LCD, for high-resolution, widescreen TV viewing
• Supports the latest 3G services like Vodafone live! FeliCa, Vodafone live! CAST, and
  Bluetooth chat
