You know you're a real nerd when you get excited about something like a Gundam cell phone. This phone is real, and it is a Japan-exclusive. My hopes have just been raised and dashed.
The Gundam cell phone is available through Japanese carrier SoftBank Mobile. This phone features iconic Gundam styling, as well as some competitive hardware under the hood. The phone is waterproof and will have a 12.1 mega pixel CCD camera as well as a digital TV tuner. I'd definitely turn Japanese for this phone.
