    Vodafone 904SH Cellphone with Face Recognition

    Vodafone has rolled out an unusual 3G and GSM cellphone that gets to know you as well as your dog does. It performs this magic trick with an OKI face recognition sensor that does away with the need for entering a pin number. With a swiveling 2.4 inch screen and an 3.2-megapixel autofocus camera, the 904SH also has a motion sensor that lets you play games such as virtual golf with the thing. Using Bluetooth, it's even suggested that you could play fighting games against an opponent within that 30-foot Bluetooth limit. It's available in pleasant-looking colors such as black, powder blue and purple. No announcement of price or availability was forthcoming. More »

These phones will let you use multimedia services, including video sharing and Web surfing, at higher speeds with lower pricing. They will also be the first to be commercially available. And of course, I feel that I must point out that we here in the US won't actually be seeing any of this as we wait (and wait, and wait) for our 3G services. More »

    Well-Featured Vodaphone

    The Vodaphone V604SH is one of those phones that really does make me jealous of Asian technology. It comes in three different color schemes—turquoise & black, white & silver, and black & red— and it's got some really great features I just don't expect to see here in the US for a really, really long time. Along with an analog TV tuner, it also includes a 32MB mini SD card and has a 3.2 megapixel camera with 2x optical zoom and automatic focus. It's a clamshell phone with a 2.4-inch display, weighs in at 5 ounces and can also tune into local FM radio stations. More »
