According to this PC World report, DoCoMo plans to demonstrate a prototype handset running LTE technology at this month’s Mobile World Congress exhibition in Barcelona. The demonstration at Barcelona will be running on a prototype LTE chip developed by the four companies, said NEC. The chip was first demonstrated in October in concept data cards, and its appearance at Barcelona will be the first time it’s appeared in a handset.

The DoCoMo booth will showcase high-spec mobile phones and services, a futuristic headset controlled by eye movements, the eco-friendly TOUCH WOOD handset made with real wood, progress in DOCOMO’s plan to become one of the world’s first operators to launch an LTE service, and – Of Course! – WWJ will be there..
