Hitachi W42H CDMA Phone

The Hitachi W42H is a CDMA 1x WIN terminal meant for Japan. Having a clamshell design (regular readers will note that most handsets bound for Japan have this design, seems the folks in the East prefer this to anything else). Owing to its clamshell design, the handset ejoys dual displays. The primary display is of 2.4 inches and has a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels (QVGA display). The sub-display on the other hand is smaller (96 x 64 pixels). Both of these are the standard displays being used in handsets of this generation. The W42H also allows its user an automatic focussing camera which has a resolution of 2 megapixels.

From Hitachi, it’s about its latest handset, the W42H CDMA cell phone. Powered by Windows Mobile OS, it boasts a Double Scene feature which allows users to switch from business mode to private mode. Other remarkable feature is the ability to quickly change the standby screen image, address book or ring-tone by pressing the ‘Asterisk(*) button’. Furthermore, the Remote Delete function makes it possible to access the phone from remote location, lock it, and delete all the data inside. Really handy especially when someone stole your phone.

The Hitachi W42H has a number of features including; a 2.1 megapixel camera, 6 Mobile Dictionaries for all the budding linguists, Infra-Red, PC Site Viewer, IC Recorder and 6 hours of play time for online music service. Our Japanese pals can also use the Osaifu-Keitai', e-money service and its navigational capabilities.

If your the type who carries sensitive data on the phone or a member of the secret service then via the 'Remote delete' function you can erase all the data from a remote location! Pretty cool ain't it? The handset also has an internal memory of 50MB and a dedicated music player. This one alas will only be available in Japan for now.
