NTT DoCoMo's 6124 classic... er, NM706i gets through the FCC
We know that Nokia's got a version of its recently-announced 6124 classic midrange S60 candybar designed to support i-mode, but it's not meant for NTT DoCoMo itself; instead, it's being shipped off to Taiwan where Far EasTone licenses the i-mode service. New FCC documents reveal that the mothership might want a piece of the action, too, though. Actually, never mind the "might" -- the carrier's logo is pretty clearly emblazoned across the rear, so we're going to go ahead and say that Japanese S60 fans can look forward to another munition in their relatively thin arsenal sometime soon.Update: Yep, it's the NM706i that was recently announced. This will be "Mysterious Black," we presume, alongside the Cloudy White and Passionate Red that we've seen pictures on NTT DoCoMo's site.
Nokia rolling custom 6124 classic in Taiwan with i-mode support
Wait, Taiwan? i-mode? Yep, turns out that Far EasTone Telecommunications licenses NTT DoCoMo's well-known mobile internet brand for use in Taiwan, and they've partnered with Nokia to deliver the service on a customized version of the 6124 classic candybar -- the first Nokia ever to offer it. Of course, no i-mode handset is complete without blazing data speeds, and sure enough, the 6124 classic delivers with support for HSDPA in addition to a 2 megapixel cam, QVGA display, and S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1. Yep, that's right, not only is Nokia tying up with i-mode, they're doing so on an honest-to-goodness smartphone. Kudos![Via IntoMobile]
