Sleek Hitachi W53H Wooo Cell Phone Offers Voice Activated GPS Navigation

Tweet

We’ve seen a host of new cell phones here on TFTS of late and, of them all, the new Hitachi W53H cell phone, known as the ‘Wooo’, is certainly one of the most visually appealing coming in a sleek 14.2mm thick body featuring a generous 2.8 inch OLED screen – but the beauty of the W53H is more than just skin deep, primarily due to its ability to offer navigational prompts via a GPS receiver paired with voice recognition capabilities.

Details are a little on the scant side at the time of writing, however, what is known is that, presently only available for pre-order in Japan, the Hitachi W53H Wooo is available in Japan Black, Nordic White and Euro Purple colour schemes and comes with a not especially impressive 2MP camera (see our post concerning Samsung’s new SGH-G800 – a cell phone that seriously raises the bar in this respect) as well as an inbuilt TV receiver (offering up to 4.5 hours of viewing per charge) and, of course, onboard GPS functionality which accepts voice input of desired destination so as to assist you on your travels.

Will it ever see a release outside Japan? We hope so, though we’re rather doubtful.
