Toshiba's 815T PB on Softbank threatens humanity

by Ryan Block posted Feb 27th 2008 at 3:01AM

We kind of wish this was fake -- and we're tentatively overjoyed that it's not -- but we can't help but feeling a little freaked at the Toshiba 815T PB on Softbank, developed to coincide with a new show featuring (you guessed it) robo-phones called Ketai Sousakan 7. Yeah yeah, QVGA, 3G, 3.2 megapixel camera, that's all well and good, but our latent fear of cellphone brain cancer kind of just went out the window.

I would like to be the first one to welcome our new mobile phone overlords to Earth, and say... I bow to you, masters.
