As you’ve seen in my Tokyo Boy moblog, I got a new mobile phone yesterday, the beautiful A4503CA. It just came out (and it’s the first time I buy a fresh new model, usually buying older models when they get dirt cheap), and I first heard about it from Paul, who got the same model. It’s main claim to fame (and the reason I absolutely wanted it) is that it can take pics at a whopping 2 megapixels, which is the same quality as my DiMAGE X digital camera. This will make it so much easier for me to take snaps when I’m out and about for TB.Grafico. Even at lower resolutions and sizes (like what I use for the moblog), you should notice clearer pics. I think I might also start moblogging at larger sizes, which I’ll put in the main feed. I’m still playing around with the phone, trying to learn all of its features (the manuals are Japanese only), but from what I’ve seen I’m already very satisfied with it. And I’m also playing loads of ARKANOID on a beautiful high-res screen! The following site has more pics of the phone.

It’s CDMA. The sticker price is close to 30 000 yen I think. I got it for about 22 000.

Well, sure, it’s great to have a nice looking phone, but in the end, it’s the functionality that counts. If the phone you have gives you what you need, then that’s great. I’ve been waiting for half a year to get a phone that could take pics at 2 megapixels (similar to my digital camera), so that’s the number one reason I’m happy with my new keitai. Now, of course, I’m quite fond of its looks too…

And here i was all excited about my new phone with such features as
1. TDMA (old-school!)
2. SMS text-messaging!
Not to mention the fact that had 0% asthetic value…

I wish the American cell phone companies would get off their bottoms and step up to this level of technology – it’s so frustrating to be missing out on good stuff like this!

There are definite advantages to living in Japan when it comes to mobile phone technology.
