Vodafone swivelling mobile TV phone

It appears that this phone is Vodafone’s new 904SH, a handset clearly designed with multimedia and mobile TV in mind. The screen swivels out somehow to allow a landscape viewing orientation and facial recognition features.

The antenna sticking out the top has led to postulations that this should be a set up for mobile TV, more specifically the Wansega (One Seg Cell) service found in Japan, which is already being deployed by NTT DoCoMo. Of course, considering that this is likely just a prototype, they’ll probably make that antenna a little less noticeable. Or, at least I hope so, because it’s quite the eyesore.

Other than that, it appears that the 904SH sports a 2.0 megapixel camera, and a blocky, not-so-fashionable design.
