Vodafone japan announced that it plans to launch two new sophisticated 2G mobile phones in the middle of February.

The Toshiba V603SH is Japan's first "motion sensitive" handset The one-chip sensor allows customers to perform menu operations by moving the handset up, down, left or right and call up often-used functions (shortcuts) by moving the handset in a variety of preset patterns.

The Toshiba V603T lacks motion sensors, but has a special swivel screen to view TV more easily. Both phones offer analog TV tuners that also capture FM radio signals.

Surely it doesn't make sense to launch 2G TV-capable handsets, though. Wouldn't you need streaming capability for that, which is going to be pretty terrible over GPRS?

Both phones offer analog TV tuners so i presume it means the tv will be picked up via normal terrestial recievers and not streamed over gprs.

According to I4U: The TV phone also can play video from a miniSD card making it a PVP. The terrestrial TV tuner can also receive FM Radio. Of course the 603T features a 1.3MP digital camera. The new Toshiba phone measures 50x103x25mm and weighs 142g.

In which case, I guess it does make sense! Cheers
