Features
The 840P was manufactured by Panasonic Mobile Communications for Softbank Mobile. It was launched to support Softbank’s 3G W-CDMA network.
The phone was branded as a “Color Life” device due to the wide range of colour variants that were offered, as seen in the original marketing below.
There was also a variant of the handset for business users known as the Softbank as 840Pe. This included a "Keitai Function Control" that allows a company’s IT administrator to restrict certain capabilities including the camera, some communication capabilities and the ability save data to a memory card. This business variant was identical to the standard 840P but was only available in two colour variants, black and white.
