Again and again we see super-cool phones coming from the Land of the rising Sun. Why handset makers don’t bring those babies to the western hemisphere is beyond me. I’m sure many IntoMobile readers share our passion for high-end phones, jam-packed with all the latest technologies. Anyway, let’s briefly introduce KDDI’s latest collection…
First comes the Hitachi Wooo W63H and Casio Exilim W63CA (we’ve seen this one passing the FCC hurdle, BTW). Both devices come with 3.1-inch OLED screens that KDDI wants to be used for watching full-length movies downloaded through their Lismo Video service. The Casio Exilim also boasts an 8.1 megapixel camera.
Then there’s Sharp Aquos with its super hi-res 3.5-inch screen that makes mobile TV actually usable. We’ve already talked about this model and we love it!
Sony Ericcson on its end has a fashion phone for the collection, allowing users to change plates and personalize the device to their needs. At the moment, James Bond and Fifa World Cup plates are among the choices available.
The Toshiba (OTCPK: TOSBF) W65T is also a respectable device, sporting Lismo Video support, wireless music option and a built-in GPS.
Finally, three last phones we’ll mention — Kyocera (NYSE: KYO) W65K, Sony Ericsson (NYSE: SNE) W64S and Panasonic (NYSE: PC) W62P — are more simplistic phones for the fashion savvy users.
With an exception of last three mentioned devices, all KDDI phones come with the “au BOX” connectivity. Plus, all handsets (three fashion phones included) have “Karada Manager” pre-installed, which is a mobile personal trainer app that should keep the respective owners in shape on-the-go.
