The lineup includes a handset with an OLED display that is tailored for 1seg broadcasts, a model with e-paper for the first time in Japan and a model featuring a wireless music player function based on Bluetooth. Two of the new models are equipped with an OLED panel as the main display. One of them is the W61SA manufactured by Sanyo. This model has a 240×400 (wide QVGA) 3-inch OLED display, which will be the largest in Japan. Sanyo W61SA handset incorporates a touch sensor that enables users to control the volume of 1seg broadcasting and change the channel with the phone closed. The model supports Bluetooth and has an FM transmitter to transmit music content and so on to the audio componenent system, car stereo, etc connected with the phone.

Toshiba Corp's W61T is another OLED model. It has a 2.8-inch OLED display featuring the 240× 400 (wide QVGA) resolution like the W61SA. It requires an external antenna to watch 1seg broadcasts because it does not have a built-in antenna for 1seg reception. It supports Bluetooth and is equipped with a 3.24-Mpixel CMOS camera.

Many of the 2008 spring models are design-oriented. The most striking is the W61H manufactured by Hitachi Ltd, which uses e-paper as the back panel. The e-paper has a screen size about the same as that of a 2.7-inch display. The users can select an image to be displayed on the e-paper from the total of 95 patterns including animations as well as still images. When the phone receives a call, sends/receives e-mail or sounds an alarm, the users can enjoy watching the image change on the back panel, in addition to the standby screen. The main display is a 2.8-inch IPS LCD panel with the 240×400 (wide QVGA) resolution. The handset also has a built-in antenna for 1seg reception. Hitachi used a built-in 1seg reception antenna in the W53H released as one of the 2007 fall/winter models.
