Char Aznable x Softbank

Softbank Mobile has made annoucement for the release of 913SH G-Type Char cellphone. It basically has the same function as the previous 913SH slider model, except that this model comes pre-installed with Sunrise & Sotsu Agency-supervised content (such as Char quotes & sound FX) and a design collaborated on by Bandai. It comes with a 1/12 Char’s Zaku head charging stand that, which you can open it up and place the phone inside, to display a monoeye screensaver that moves from one side to another randomly. If one gets bored with the monoeye screensaver, just flick a switch to watch TV instead as the phone has a digital one-seg TV built in.

Apart from the usual camera, internet browsers, 1GB of internal memory and also comes with pre-recorded Char phrases.

Scheduled to go on sale in coming December. Currently, there’s another 20 more days till it start accepting pre-orders. Would love to made a purchase on this if this could support GSM network, from what I know Japan phone network seems to be running on CDMA

Some professional modeller even repaint the Zaku head. It is a super cool gadget to have.... Is Japan 2007 coolest stuff.
