DoCoMo Claims 7 Million Camera Handset Users

Japan's DoCoMo has said that sales of i-shot camera enabled handsets have topped the 4 million mark, some six months after DoCoMo's i-shot service was introduced. Given the tremendous popularity of the service, DoCoMo introduced its new camera-equipped 504iS series on November 12. This highly advanced series of mobile phones offers a wide variety of features, including customization of still images using downloaded i-appli frames to create original screensavers.

Following the successful launch of this series, i-shot sales began accelerating at a rapid pace, reaching 4 million just three weeks after topping the 3 million mark.

Currently, there are seven models available on the market."
