Several more of Docomo’s latest 3G models, as announced in January, are rolling-out here this weekend. While the N703i by NEC was available last week, the Panasonic, Mitsubishi and waterproof Fujitsu 703i’s hit the store shelves on Feb. 2nd. We have noticed an unusually agressive amount of advertising – both outdoor and on TV – for these new models, so the TCA results in early March should be rather interesting.

We are expecting the figures soon for sales in January and many industry insiders are speculating that SoftBank, with their new flat-rate voice plan – did quite well last month. Meanwhile, here’s a quick video-link to see the 2-minute clip DoCoMo used to promote the “Intelligent Design” of this latest series.
