KDDI and Okinawa Cellular are pleased to announce the late November roll-out of new lineup of au cellular telephones including the W33SA, featuring "One Seg" digital television broadcast service for cellular and mobile handsets and a W-band analog TV tuner, the W32T, a slim-bodied handset with "PC Site Viewer" and 2.36 megapixel camera, and the A5515K, sporting a 3.23 megapixel camera with top-of-the-line auto-focus and a high-definition mobile ASV LCD.



The new "One Seg" service, to begin with the launch of the W33SA, will begin for the already-available "EZ TV" function. "One Seg" service additions to "EZ TV" will include "Song Search", allowing search of broadcasted BGM song titles, "EZ Navi Walk", initialized from "One Seg" data broadcasts, a function guiding users to spots introduced on TV programs, and an "EZ Channel" function replicating the feel of changing TV channels.



The innovative new "Hello Messenger" communication service will allow up to five friends and relatives to enjoy real-time transceiver-like voice calls and photo sharing in addition to the chat-like text messaging.



All subsequently sold mobile phone models will be compatible with "Hello Messenger".
