Vodafone Japan's new TV handset

[Steve Bildermann]

Vodafone Japan's latest handset, out in late April, is its second phone with a built-in TV tuner. The Toshiba-made V401T one-ups the previous model, NEC's V601N, by including an FM tuner as well as the TV, plus a 2.2-inch QVGA screen that should take some of the pain out of viewing at such reduced dimensions. It's possible to record stills and movies from TV broadcasts, though the lack of an external memory card limits you to 12 minutes at five frames per second using the 24MB of internal memory.
