[Black Sun]

Wow! How much is the price and will this be available outside japan?

 

[Chronotia Archzenom]

Say what? Wow!

I heard of it before... SoftBank even released an ad for it.

 

[Alcin91]

It's already out for a long time.Ads of it were in Japan long ago.Good specs and good quality,it can even transform.But don't worry,chances of it leaving Japan is ZERO.unless you get a retailer who can get unlocked phones from Japan,otherwise,we can only dream.

There's even games included to link with the shows.

You can check youtube for some videos of the ads.

[Kai Yamato]

Man, I wish I can get that kind of phone. I so want a Zero One or Seven.

....This is not funny:

Besides the ability to change its form into a robot-like, the 815 PB features a home screen application Buddy Talk, which reminds me of tamagotchi toy. The phone via Buddy Talk will attempt to nag his owner with text messages throughout the day asking questions and trying to become a real buddy by learning more about his owner’s daily routine. Besides the communication part Buddy Talk can express its emotions with different “face” impressions. Additionally, Softbank and Tokyo TV pre-installed an RPG game closely related to TV drama’s plot to increase drama’s stickiness. Nonetheless, this is an innovative example of mobile marketing bringing together television and mobile worlds. However, I would expect mobisodes of the drama made available for download onto these phones but no information was provided. And the phone doesn’t even spot a one-seg TV tuner.

OH COME ON SOFTBANK, GIVE US SOME OF EM!!!!!!!!
Someone review this please~

And the phone doesn’t even spot a one-seg TV tuner.

Who cares? You can take pics with them, call with them, pose with them, what else could you want?
