The Philips 355 weighs 82 g and offers operating times of up to four hours talk time and up to 400 hours standby time. The new phone will be introduced in Europe in the course of the second quarter of 2004 in selected countries.
The 759 and 755 models, both tri-band, feature Philips’ 'Snap, Tag & Send' concept for sending (via MMS) personalized photos, drawings and even handwritten notes to family and friends thanks to the built-in touch screen.

It’s also possible to record sound clips and add them to MMS messages. Captured images can be edited on the phone itself using its built-in Creative Photo Editor software, while images can be transformed with color effects, sepia tones, grayscale images or negative colors.
