The phone from NTT DoCoMo, Japanese's largest mobile carrier, will not only let keep count of how many steps you take in a day, but will also let you know when your breathe smells.

"Our primary target groups would be fat-fighting middle-aged businessmen and young women on diets," an NTT DoCoMo rep said.

Its stocked with loads of other goodies for the health-conscious gadget lover. Will this be the next Hollywood "it" phone?
