SoftBank Unveils First Android Clamshell Phone with Hello Kitty
Japanese mobile carrier SoftBank unveils its 007SH KT cell phone. Do not be deceived by its typical clamshell design because it runs on Android, plus it has Hello Kitty written all over it.
The 007SH KT is based on a model the carrier introduced last May, the Sharp Aquos Phone The Hybrid 007SH. Apart from having a very long name, it is also the world’s first clamshell phone with Android (2.3). The Hello Kitty-fied version is very similar to the base model: a 3.4-inch LCD touchscreen with 854 x 480 resolution, 0.7-inch OLED sub-display, 16-megapixel CCD camera with 1,280 x 720 HD video recording capability, WiFi, Bluetooth, digital TV tuner, e-wallet function, and a waterproof body. It also has Hello Kitty-themed menus, screens, e-mail icons, calculator app, and alarm clock.
The SoftBank 007SH KT phone will be available in Japan next month.
