STOCKHOLM, Sweden, May 05, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- The cameraphones included in the Vodafone live! offering completely dominate the list of top-selling phones for April in Vodafone's stores in Sweden. More than half of all the models in the top ten are Vodafone live! mobiles, and the top five handsets all belong to the Vodafone live offering.
To help generate even more interest for mobile picture communication and cameraphones, Vodafone is introducing a uniform price for MMS with size between 1 and 100 kb. From today the new price is SEK 2.80 per message*.
"There has been a huge demand for our pre-configured cameraphones in the Vodafone live! range. Thanks to our global purchasing power we can offer the broadest and best range of customized cameraphones in large quantities. This also includes exclusive groundbreaking mobiles - such as the Sharp GX30," says Paul Moonga, Director of Consumer Market at Vodafone Sweden.
"The Sharp GX30 -- the first megapixel cameraphone to be available in Sweden -- has been a massive seller, joining the list of top-sellers in terms of turnover. As from May we will offer buyers of the Sharp GX30 even better possibilities for using its fantastic camera functions by packaging it along with a 128 MB memory card and PC card reader at no extra cost," he says.
