Irony: Nokia N97's designer is Japanese {Engadget Mobile}
Dec 3rd 2008 8:35AM Eguchi studied in Scandinavia, and now working for Nokia.. how Japanese can he be? Don't expect him to create real Keitai for Nokia. For years the N-series has achieved nothing in Japan, there's no felica electronic money, there's no one-seg DMB tunar, there's no support for i-mode/Y! portals at all, emoji is crippled, no chaku-uta, and they're selling at premium prices when you can get everything not found on the N-series including a fWVGA screen, scaled fonts, much better text-predictive system, and an interface that is a lot fancier and more familiar to the locals. Why bother?
Eguchi has absolutely nothing to do with Nokia's failure in Japan, he has also done nothing to prevent that.
Verizon's XV6900 Touch, in all its shockingly white glory {Engadget Mobile}
Jan 22nd 2008 11:40AM Am actually surprised that people would complain the Touch being white? White phones are hot throughout Asia... especially Japan and Korea...
HTC Touch gets more memory, new color options {Engadget Mobile}
Nov 16th 2007 11:02PM the HTC Touch Dual runs 400Mhz, about the same size only an extra slider, extra HSDPA minus WiFi
Is this Fujitsu's F905i for NTT DoCoMo? {Engadget Mobile}
Sep 25th 2007 3:15AM ah alright, engadgetmobile's bad :P
Is this Fujitsu's F905i for NTT DoCoMo? {Engadget Mobile}
Sep 25th 2007 2:18AM @RichinJapan: you are very confused, the photo is indeed a F905i, just that you will never be able to see whether it's off-centered until you swivel screen. (just like the F904i) Look at the already announced-912SH carefully, the design is clearly different though very similar. The metal strip tracing round the sides, the color scheme and the camera lens position at the back are completely different as well.
Sony's Rolly gets official, yet we still don't really get it {Engadget}
Sep 10th 2007 7:36AM it is not exactly useful, but good for branding, they're turning concepts you see in anime and sci-fi movies into reality. don't expect it this to sell any better than the Aibo, but when aibo is not around, this kind of cliche product might be essential for their image. if sandisk can come out with the sansa shaker, why can't sony make their rolly?
it actually looks pretty cool on video, when it dances

Hands-on with the LG KU990 {Engadget Mobile}
Aug 31st 2007 5:32PM yes i was being sarcastic, i wonder why engadgetmobile still hasn't corrected it.
I said it because a lot of Americans thought that LG and Nokia were American companies. That's from a market research concerning the most recognized brands in America the the knowledge of their origin..
Hands-on with the LG KU990 {Engadget Mobile}
Aug 31st 2007 9:40AM Right, LG is obviously a Japanese company? That's why they have Japanese press handlers in Germany. Whereas Samsung, which is based in Japan, not Korea, must have Korean press handlers instead.
HTC Shift gets hands on {Engadget}
Aug 13th 2007 8:13AM HTC really has some great stuff. The HTC Touch and now the Shift, if they can build something in between, Apple would REALLY have to worry.
