Hi!
" Please - this is a geuine proposition. Wakaba and Futaba are both concept clamshell phones that were offered to operators in the UK for 3G/GSM trials. "
Wakaba is the Japanese word for 'new leaves' or 'fresh growth' It is also the name of the yellow and green mark put on the cars of Japanese who have just passed their driving tests. Wakaba-Ma-ku.
Futaba has a similar meaning ' to bud, or to sprout.
wakaba 若葉 wakaba ma-ku 若葉マーク and futaba 双葉
( not sure if these Japanese characters will display here in Esato! )
So both words connect to 'new'!

true, i can vouch for fatreg though, having seen some of his collection, that he's a true phone collector.
Anyway. An amazing collection you have there....
