In the first half of 2004, NEC chooses Mainland China and Hong Kong markets to sell some trend leading mobile phones. These include the powder compact style N910, and the world thinnest credit card size N900. NEC spokesman in Hong Kong said the N900 would not be produced in a large scale, and the initial price was around US$1140. We prepared a mega gallery on NEC N900. You will know how good of that premium phone is  The thinnest phone NEC N900 is a very slim credit card size phone. The specification shows that the thickness is only 8.6mm, and the weight is 70 grams. This is the world thinnest mobile phone up to now. According to NEC, N900 is the product by the joint forces of NEC Japan and NEC Mobile Terminals Development Center in Beijing. The sliver and metal feel create premium feeling. In the front side of the handset, the largest part is the color screen. It uses TFT 65000 colors display, with 1.8 inch and 120 x 160 pixels resolution. The remaining part is the keypad. The menu keys are missing to reduce the size. In the backside, a very clean design is shown. An embedded camera, little mirror for self-portrait photos and a photo light are located in the right hand corner, with a circle surrounding. A big NEC logo is shown. The pure design is very similar to Casio  EXILIM EX-S3 digital camera.  Extra Battery Cradle Because NEC N900 is too thinnest, it does not include a speaker. Users have to use the handsfree to achieve the voice call. Also, it uses internal 300 mAH lion battery. In order to increase the standby time, NEC offers an extra battery cradle. Users can plugin it in for more standby time. The cradle is also the data transmitting and charger port. Users cannot do that without the cradle.

"Multi Media Card"
The small phone is not only for decoration. It includes many must-have multimedia features for latest mobile phones. The thinnest body comes with a VGA camera, capable to take VGA standard still photos. With photo light, users can enjoy taking photos in the dark night. NEC N900 support 
GPRS, MMS and 40 chords polyphonic ring tones. With data cable, pictures, photos and ring tones can be exchanged through the dedicated PC software. NEC N900 also supports OTA graphics and ring tones download services. The handset includes 2M memory for storage in our trial sample. 

The actual usage
The NEC N900 we tried is not the full and retail version. We cannot offer a full test report. But we can also express some first trial feeling. The menu is inherited from other NEC color display handset. The navigation is logical. Without the menu key, users have to press a key to swap between the number keypad and the navigation keypad. We feel lost in the trial period, and hard 
to confirm the change of the features. The camera in return is extremely easy to use. The stutter key is located at the topside. Press it once can activate the camera. The screen from NEC is well reputed. It also applies to the NEC N900. The screen can show very bright and clear colors even to show the live pictures. Using the handsfree to achieve voice call is somewhat trouble. Also, 
the bulky handsfree plug also degrades the whole handset design.

The Packing
NEC Hong Kong said they would offer full packing of NEC N900 including a battery, a battery cradle, car kit charger, and handsfree kit. The phone is for China and Hong Kong market first, but the handset includes English as menu option.
