Casio Presents Its Casio W21CA CDMA Wireless Phone

The new Casio W21CA model has a 2.6inch 'Wide View Style' QVGA LCD screen and comes with the Opera browser.

Opera Software and KDDI also announced that the Opera Web browser will be provided on the BREW (Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless) based Casio W21CA mobile phone for the Japanese market. This is the first Opera Web browser phone launched by KDDI and Opera since the announcement of their partnership in August. The phone will be distributed for KDDI's 3G CDMA network in Japan, making Opera the first full Web browser deployed in the Japanese 3G CDMA network.

KDDI is the second largest mobile operator in Japan with over 6 million BREW phones shipped as of the end of September 2004. KDDI is now ready to provide next generation services and has chosen Opera to fulfill the promise of 3G capabilities.

In August, Opera announced it had delivered its port for the BREW application development platform with KDDI to service full Web browsing on KDDI's 3G CDMA network. Both companies have made it their top priority to provide a 3G device to the waiting market. The Casio W21CA is the first phone deployed of this convergence.
