Japan seems to have a completely different perception of political correctness from the Western world: the press release for NTT’s new P703i describes it as “a phone for women who send many emails”. Beautiful simplicity there, so let’s applaud NTT for its honesty.
The press release continues to explain that this is an easy-to-hold handset with something called a ‘WaveTileKey’, which is essentially one large button that is microswitched at the points where typical phones have separate keys. In this blogger’s experience (his wife has a similar phone to the P703i) it feels like a giant version of the d-pad on Sega’s 20-year-old Master System joypad. (Hope that helps.) The P703i goes on sale in Japan this week.
