NEC is presenting four handsets at the upcoming Mobile World Congress in two weeks, all based on the 22-phone lineup scheduled to be wrapped up by March. The Prime N-01A is a multi-configurable touchscreen device with 3.2 inch VGA screen, 5.2 megapixel camera with advanced face detection and auto focus and SRS TruMedia for virtual surround-sound.
The Style N-02A closely resembles the N-03A, the prime difference is that the N-03A was designed by (apparently) famous French Pastry Chef Pierre Herme. Wow, really? A phone designed by a pastry chef? The N-03A will come appropriately preloaded with a bunch of “gourmet content”. The N-02A is a little more business, featuring mobile TV, 5.2 megapixel camera, face detection and 15 different key illuminations for various kinds of alerts. Finally, the Smart N-04A is a global roaming phone with 3G and mobile TV in a slider form factor.
