KDDi rolls out Toshiba Sportio W62T cellphone

We caught a brief glimpse of Toshiba's Sportio W62T when KDDi announced its vast summer 2008 lineup of phones, but the Japanese carrier is just now giving the handset its proper due with an official launch. As the rather unfortunate name suggests, this one's intended to help you out in your various athletic endeavors, with it packing an accelerometer and built-in GPS to keep track of how many steps you take and how far you've gone, as well as how many calories you've burned. As if that wasn't enough, you'll also apparently be able to "compose music" by jogging along to special tracks. Otherwise, you can expect a 2.2-inch 240 x 320 display, a built-in 1seg TV tuner, a 2-megapixel camera, and built-in Bluetooth -- no word on a price just yet though.

Yea...took me a while to actually notice the err...phone.

[Jesse S @ Jun 20th 2008 4:06PM]

OOOHHHHH the green one is nice.

[Kaiser-Machead @ Jun 20th 2008 4:25PM]

Can it tell by the way I walk I'm a woman's man, with no time to talk? If so, it better "compose" the appropriate beat.

giant fan not included

[initialxy @ Jun 20th 2008 5:16PM]

who cares about giant fan? is she included?

[franzbonus @ Jun 21st 2008 6:51AM]

Guys come on, she HAS to be included because that's what their selling.

[Jon Doe. @ Jun 20th 2008 5:04PM]

I'll take the dark cyan one....oh and the phone too.

Question: does sex sell to geeks? seriously. When one is a specing out something does the model even remotely come into play. Personally they could throw fat bastard in there and it wouldn't have any effect on the purchase of a tech product.

[Gilbert Tang @ Jun 20th 2008 5:08PM]

Considering the proliferation of the "booth babe," I'm going to vote a resounding yes.

[Gilbert Tang @ Jun 20th 2008 5:09PM]

And I'm also going to go out on a stiff limb to suggest that the amount of sex the average geek has varies indirectly with his/her thoughts on the subject.

[BaconMaster @ Jun 20th 2008 5:22PM]

Are you kidding me? Look at how many of these first comments talk about the girls! Tech nerds are the worst for this kinda stuff. A bunch of socially backward dorks with no girlfriends who surf the internet all day.

[phanbouy @ Jun 20th 2008 5:49PM]

great backhanded zinger there, Gilberto Gil

[Deadmonkey @ Jun 20th 2008 5:08PM]

uh the pictures make it look like this thing has a built in hair dryer. Not that I'm complaining, or that a hair drying phone wouldn't totally rock the universe. Just saying.

[gad get @ Jun 20th 2008 5:32PM]

It is listed among the specs.

[Reader @ Jun 20th 2008 6:03PM]
