Terminals
NTT DoCoMo offers a wide range of FOMA branded terminals, which are made specifically for the Japanese market. FOMA terminals differ from Western UMTS terminals in several aspects, for example:
- Standardised menu structure and chargers.
- Japan-specific features such as i-mode or Osaifu-Keitai (electronic purse).
- Multiband-support, which includes band VI at 800 MHz for FOMA Plus-Area (newer models).
- No support for dual-mode operation with GSM/EDGE (except some models branded as World Wing).
