913SH Zaku

Not usually a fan of gimmicky phones but this is quite awesome.
Zaku's head opens up for you to recharge the 913SH that comes in the package. The screen of the phone then switches to Mono-eye mode and moves left n right randomly.
If you get bored watching the eye, just flick a switch to watch TV as it has digital one-seg TV built in.
Apart from the usual camera, internet browsers, 1GB of internal memory and wot not, the phone also comes with pre-recorded Char phrases.
The official site mentions that its going to be another 21 days before this goodie goes up for pre-order. No idea what the price will be but will vary depending on how long one has been a subscriber to the Softbank service.
I can only get one if I decide to change carriers...

Anyone notice the text at the bottom of the second pic? DANGER: Using this device while exposed to the Minovsky Particle at combat level density causes EXCESSIVE HEAT ...Which sort of reminds one of the Minovsky Particle gag in Lucky Star...

so basially the cool part of the phone is the display/charge base! Not sure if I would want one of those, besides, the Kaempfer is my preferred model. Or the Gouf. But then you wouldn't get char phrases. Maybe a ramba ral? "this is no zaku boy, no zaku!"

Worth getting for the recharge base alone. Of course if you hate Char...
(ID #60631) Posted on 2007/10/23 13:34
wow cool, i love char :3
(ID #60634) Posted on 2007/10/23 14:19
It there any site or anything where I could buy this phone!?!? I DON'T CARE HOW MUCH I NEED TO PAY!!! I NEED IT!!! or maybe not as much as I think I do...but still
(ID #60635) Posted on 2007/10/23 14:25

bolt, lol on the eye phone. ^o^ I'd probably get one if it worked on countries other than Japan. ^^ you getting one Danny?
(ID #60637) Posted on 2007/10/23 15:03
If this could work without using a Japanese SIM Card I'll definetly get one.

The phone looks bland. I just want that Char's Zaku head stand ^^;;
(ID #60644) Posted on 2007/10/23 16:28
This is funny, feels like they rush out this phone just for you after you say phone in Japan in boring.
(ID #60645) Posted on 2007/10/23 17:30
Weird can somebody explain why danny puts down the phones in Japan overall? Just curious since there are some Jp mobile phone games I want to play so bad,
(ID #60649) Posted on 2007/10/23 18:34
Thats pretty neat, though I'm not really a Char fan. Zaku's are pretty cool though, I prefer the green version ^^. Pretty neat that its a slider phone that has all those functions plus the sensor moves left and right, awesome.
(ID #60650) Posted on 2007/10/23 18:37
Interesting concept. How does Softbank service compare with Docomo and AU?
(ID #60653) Posted on 2007/10/23 19:22
They did a good job on the detail of the Zaku head. See, just when you think the iPhone rocks...

Cool...the phone's pretty thin as well. I bet this would cost quite a hefty amount of moolah. ~_~

... My wife would kill me, but I'd Soooo Get one!!! ;)

We need someone to import it here desperately! D: Won't mind wearing it on my head though.

Ooh My fiancee would give me that look, but this is such a cool phone. Not sure if I would switch to Softbank for it though... Don't you think AU have a little better service?

I'd so get that phone.
(ID #60670) Posted on 2007/10/23 22:14
So my Iphone is cool and all.... but damn this is straight up awesome! It by far has the sweetest charging base ever.
(ID #60671) Posted on 2007/10/23 22:19
Wow, this phone looks like it would be for someone who loves Gundam a little too much...
(ID #60672) Posted on 2007/10/23 22:35
Does the red paint mean it transfers data three times faster than a normal 913SH? :D Oh, yes. I want it. If only it would operate in my location.
(ID #60673) Posted on 2007/10/23 22:43
that is so cool. the awesomeness excites me. unfortunately, it's not available here. i just hope to have one. i just hope so. will you get that kind of phone danny?

Great idea... though you'd be paying more for the charger than for the phone, isn't that right? XD I mean, people could buy the charger only, it's be pretty simple to do the red moving eye thinguie with lots of other cellphones. An animated wallpaper would do the trick. Also, I liked the Wii Gundam game. But I guess nothing (yet) beats the Gundam Pods Arcade Akihabara News posted up few days ago...

XSportSeeker, Not sure - production of plastic is pretty cheap I guess. Uru, Marvin, Probably not - I need the iPhone to come out over here. Edward, Apple Otaku, The AU phone designs kinda suck but the Softbank service has terrible reception apparently. zer0kage, You will understand when you start to use them ^^ Hendrik, No info sorry ToT Trent, I guess we have to wait until it goes u for pre-order first.

(ID #60734) Posted on 2007/10/24 11:02
No question, that phone and charger/case it comes with totally kicks ass. However, seeing as how I live in the states, I'll never get my hands on one. Oh well. The eye thing is cool.
(ID #60787) Posted on 2007/10/24 19:55
Oh my God, that is one sugoi phone.
(ID #60791) Posted on 2007/10/24 21:30
umm i live in the states sadly so umm me getting this phone would kinda be pointless :( though i would love to have it if i lived in japan (one of the many reasons i wont to go to japan well atleast to try it out lol)
(ID #60792) Posted on 2007/10/24 21:31
Damnit you guys get all the good stuff there! ... maybe in ..10years? .. yes, ten years we will see something like this out here. Thats about how long it takes us to catch up.. we havent even aired Gundam 0083 yet.. sigh.
(ID #60885) Posted on 2007/10/25 06:14
is that a GSM phone?? therefore can be unlocked and used almost everywhere? because i've looked at a lot of places and it seems to me that it can't be unlocked... i cant even find if the normal 913SH can be unlocked. if someone knows plz tell!! i'd get it for sure!!!!

this is very cool, i don't think i would want one, but still a fun concept of Gundam been added into more and more areas.
(ID #61186) Posted on 2007/10/28 02:45
it looks quite cool.. though i personally think it will look funny with the shape it has..
(ID #61258) Posted on 2007/10/28 15:15
So this phone can't be used in countries outside japan?T_T

Cool stuff! Certainly the cell phone for gundam otaku... even the markings are all Zeon... Can't imagine how much this would cost. But I guess it won't be sold around here in Indonesia...
