NEC N343i is a GSM 900 / GSM 1800 / GSM 1900 mobile phone manufactured by NEC, a multi-national information technologies company headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan.
Announced in Q2 of 2005, the phone's most attractive point is its modern new looks, at just 109 x 43 x 12.7 mm and weighing only 95g, the phone is one of the smallest candy-bar models available in the UK.
The phone was one of the first coupled with the launch of telecommunication company o2's imode service, a global system where operators design the compatible handsets, give strong editorial and usability rules to content providers, and propose an open business model to them. i-mode uses open standards as technologies: a light version of HTML is used for producing content, the i-mode mail is interoperable with e-mail, images and sound formats are the ones used on the Web. i-mode users have access to various services such as e-mail, sports results, weather forecast, games, financial services and ticket booking.
The N343i has been been criticized for high temperatures, regular failure, and most commonly poor battery and reception levels[citation needed] and praised for its small form factor, low price and good looks.[citation needed]
