Following on from the interesting-looking but averagely specced KOTO phone it announced yesterday, Vodafone Japan has held a press conference to announce all sorts of concept models, some of which it claims may actually be released in Japan later on in the year. We shouldn’t be too unkind, as Vodafone are definitely the underdog in Japan and it’s good to see that they’re trying to innovate their way out of the hole, and admittedly the KOTO phone that they managed to produce does look a lot like the concept drawing; but the rest of the designs smack of the standard “let’s have a round one, and a square one, and one that folds out in a novel way” variations that have been featured in every single “cellphone of the future” concept design since time immemorial. We hope they can prove us wrong, though, because there are some things in their portfolio that it’d be interesting to see on the shelves rather than languishing in Photoshop.And Hopefully some of these models will make there way to Europe!!

that would be nice because the blue one and the red one have a great design which no other phone has. They are really original.
