Sanyo W31SA II OCR Phone

w31saii.jpgNew hotness from Sanyo. All of the standard bells and/or whistles are here. LCD screen, color, music player, SD memory, blah, blah. However, this phone has a 1.3-megapixel camera that also supports OCR software. OCR stands for optical character recognition and can take translate written word into computer hoo-haa for grabbing a few pages of newsprint or "writing down" something in the wild. This phone also features the up and coming QR recognition software which allows it to scan barcodes for info.

A phone that can read English ! [Phoneyworld]
