Cell phone. In Japan, it is difficult to find out somebody who doesn't have one. I finally bought mine a few days ago. Until quite recently, I was in the extremely slim population of the cell-phone virgins.


A whole bunch of advanced technologies are cramed into the tiny box. Literally, it's a great feat of electronical engineering. However, I found some of the functions equipped in Japanese cell phones totally unnecessary. For example, videophone function. I think it weird to talk through the screen on the phones.

Unlike the complicated function package, designs of Japanese phones are pretty simple. I think mine is among the simplests. It looks like a big eraser.
