BBE Sound, Inc. a leading developer of advanced sound technologies for the professional audio and consumer electronic markets today announced that NEC Corporation has selected BBE M3 technology for its newest NTT DoCoMo mobile phone, model N904i. This next-generation handset is available now within the Japanese domestic marketplace.

N904i users will enjoy BBE?s M3 technology within the phone?s digital music applications, including digital music downloads from content providers.
