    "HT-She chan"

    "Sam-Soon chan"

    Oh, you mean "Sharp chan", "Ellgy chan"? NO ONE GIVES A DAMN ABOUT THEM.

    As for the other two, "Fuji Tooru chan" and "Kashio Enuko chan", NO ONE NON-JAPANESE CAN GIVE A DAMN ABOUT THEM. lol

    I thought it's kinda accurate. Not sure about now, but the last time I tried to get into the phone scene(during its Razr era), they do look like they care for the phone's look more than their functions. Style without substance... isn't that the epitome of a stupid blonde?

    Though for V3 at least, I can say that thing's built like a brick. 5 years and plenty of 1 meter drops later, it still functions like a champ.

  12. That applies to everyone else. You make choices based on your preferences, EVERY GODDAMN DECISION OUT THERE is made that way.

    Your point is?

    ======

    Thanks...

    Now we are all better off in knowing...

    There's a few I actually like, though they could have, added some more personality (for the lack of a better word)...

    The "Moto-Laura chan" is rather obvious because of the identifying M (logo).... (that) ....and her large Oppai...

    Over all.. not bad representations of the mobile counterparts... well, except for - "that" - one.. ¬_¬

  18. I agree with Niwa, the apple guy doesn't look like he'll be the average pathetic male lead.

    In other words nobody wears turtlenecks anymore.

    If you mean the illustrations themselves, I think the subtleties are all there. You could see it from their Android badges, how neat they dress, Fuji chan's holding the bow. Chances are these subtleties are lost on us because they're drawn with the Japanese perception in mind. They probably have their own subculture of smartphones, considering how their phones have invaded their lives deeper and earlier than the rest of us. Where else do you think you can see people pay with smartphones as a fact of life? lol

    As for the things outside their appearance, you can Google Translate their character description from the site. It refers a lot to the companies, even down to their 'clubs'(service providers: NTT Docomo, AU, Softbank, etc).

    Only two things I wonder:

    1. Why is Eri-chan's hair not black? Of course, Ericsson was not a Japanese company, but I thought they'd pride themselves with more distinct Jap features. Soon-chan's got purple hair, yeah, but she's supposed to be an idol, lol.

    2. How would they play out the recent Samsung/Apple patent wars. They've been trying to sue and counter-sue each other, and yet Samsung is Apple's biggest supplier for its iPhone parts.
