This new Sharp SH-06A anime phone designed by Hideaki Anno and Studio Khara is truly one-of-a-kind in design as well as with respect to the way it will be marketed. If the unique, cartoonish design wasn’t enough to sell you this telephone, perhaps its appearance in the upcoming ‘Ecangelion’ movie in Japan will persuade you.
If the look of the phone or the movie gimmick both don’t entice you, maybe the 10 megapixel camera, the built-in LED flashlight and the large 3.3” screen will.
