Japan's AU rolls out six new EV-DO phones

Japanese carrier AU isn't messing around with their new rollout of EV-DO phones to accompany their AU Listen Mobile Service, and they're getting phones from a bunch of manufacturers, including Toshiba, Hitachi, Casio, Sony Ericsson, and Sanyo, to prove it. We already mentioned the 4GB W41T musicphone from Toshiba, but the other offerings aren't too shabby. Hitachi's W41H (pictured) does the DTV thing, though we're not sure with which standard. The phone also supports FM playback, and its 2.7-inch swivel-screen should make viewing a bit easier than your typical phone. Casio is bringing the W41C, with a 2.6-inch screen, 2 megapixel camera, GPS, FM, a document viewer and the Opera browser. Sony Ericsson goes low-end with their W41S, including a 1.2 megapixel camera, GPS and FM. The W41K dittos the GPS and FM, but sports a 3.17 megapixel cam, while Sanyo's W41SA and the Neon sport 1.3 megapixel cameras, GPS, FM, and not much else. Click on for more pics.
