DoCoMo to offer faster i-mode handsets

TOKYO—NTT DoCoMo Inc. said it will begin selling enhanced i-mode handsets this week. The movaD504I and mova F5041 phones are expected to offer packet data transmission speeds of up to 28.8 kilobits per second, three times faster than current PDC-based i-mode handsets.

DoCoMo said both models will support Java Archive applications of up to 30 kilobytes and associated data of up to 100 KB per application, and will feature three-dimensional polygon engines for 3D-video display.
