NTT DoCoMo's liquid-inspired charge indicator
We have a hard enough time holding it between bathroom breaks as it is without being taunted by sloshing water on our phones, but we have to admit, it's pretty darn nifty nonetheless. It seems NEC's N702iS for NTT DoCoMo has a motion sensor that detects tilt, affecting the "liquid" inside the display appropriately. As battery level drops, so does the level of the liquid. Whimsical, yes, but when you're technologically dominating every other carrier in the world, we think you're afforded that luxury.[Via SlashPhone]
NTT DoCoMo adds six to endless array of FOMA choices
NTT DoCoMo -- in an apparent bid to not just out-do, but humiliate the rest of the world's carriers -- has dropped yet another six 3G flips on its home crowd. The new handsets are part of NTT's "7 Series" of fashion-oriented phones, and include entries from Mitsubishi, Panasonic, NEC, Motorola, and Sharp. Moto has actually contributed two models here, one in the V3x vein and the other apparently a let's-see-how-long-we-can-milk-this port of the original V3. All six of the phones support the typical i-mode goodness, FOMA, video calling, and an array of functions that sound like science fiction to the non-Japanese among us.
