NTT DoCoMo's F904i hits store shelves Friday
While not quite a home theater in your pocket, the NTT DoCoMo F904i from Fujitsu (which, if you remember, was part of the FOMA 904i launch) at least rocks widescreen action, and that is half the battle won right there. Unveiled in colors including blanche, bordeaux, noir, and champagne -- and sadly not apple green with envy for these great handsets from Japan -- it sports a 3.2 megapixel cam, GPS services, finger-based biometric authentication, and a monster 432 X 240 screen. Of course the screen is really why we're here -- one-seg widescreen TV and all -- and by simply spinning the display, any widescreen formatted show's letterboxed bars disappear.

Do people really want to watch "TV" on their phones? I can see videos? But tv?

AI is right... phones have had TV in Japan for years and they watch it on the metro since most people have a 1-2.5 hour commute each way... every day (excluding some weekends, national holidays, and the ever-so-precious-but-seldom-used "vacation" time). So yeah, they have a culture designed for such technological goodies. :)

Yeah. OneSeg is popular in Japan, as is most of the DVB options available in other countries as well.

that's one cool looking phone.
It might be a good idea to put some video clips, to watch when you're bored

DoCoMo really needs to come to the States and give the US market a good kick in the rear. KDDI Mobile and Helio started the job, but they're falling out (or KDDI Mobile hasn't shown what it's really capable of yet).
