the thing about that design is that it looks too toyish. you know what i mean?

[cdover]

Yup. Which is why I still think it looks like a really so very cool calculator. :D

Still, I also wouldn't mind having one of those. Btw, where are you supposed to put your ear on when you are calling??

Yea i know! And what would happen if you lost the headset? You wouldn't be able to make any calls! Scary...

[takeshi]

I was being cynical ;)
Of course its darn expensive, if you checked the features, its not even worth that much, its more of a rival to that titanium Nokia 8990i, mini-vertu, all hype and status symbol, nothing inside.

And after looking at the pics in the link yui gave, maybe its just lens distortion or just my eye...
But I dont think its -that- small.

I wouldn't want any "phone" that required the use of a headset.

I have a Mot Accompli 009, which is a fantastic device, but I have never used it because you can only talk with a headphone.

Hey.

I saw the phone article in the newspaper yesterday. Apparantly it was only unveiled in Tokyo the day before yesterday. It was only very short so i'll write out everything.

"NEC was unveiled what it claims to be the world's smallest and slimmest camera-equipped mobile phone.
The 8.5cm x 5.4cm x 0.86cm phone, which weighs 70g, was unveiled during a press preview in Tokyo yesterday.
The phone, which will be launched in China later this month, comes with mobile Internet functions and supports GSM/GPRS.
It is also equiped with a 400,000-pixel digital camera."
