Buy Used Cell Phones

It's not very often that a Japanese high-tech phone gets marketed outside of Japan.  High-tech cell phones are an important market in Japan.  From disposable phones to automated payment facilities, the phones are locked and hardwired to a particular wireless phone service provider.  And it's illegal to unlock cell phones in that country.

Casio recently released a flip-top camera phone with individual standard features which are ahead of most other cell phones.  For starters, this camera phone has 8.1 megapixel resolution, with face recognition, wide-angle lens, 9-point autofocus, anti-shake and VGA video with 30 fps capability which records to a micro-SD.  These features come bundled in an 3.1 inch OLED screen with 480x800 pixel resolution.  The phone is only 110 x 50 x 17.4 ~ 22-mm.

Casio has always been a little aggressive when it comes to creating one-of-a-kind products.  I once included a GPS into a G-Shock model wristwatch.  And this time they've created a cell phone with a camera capability.

This phone looks more like a camera than anything.  Almost like an afterthought.  The phone come in four different colors, the better to appeal to school kid girls as well as to young adults.  The phone is following the path opened by Sony, where you have a good camera, embedded into a phone case.  Though this time the phone case is pretty small.

The phone will be released in November.  There's no word yet whether this phone will ever be marketed outside of Japan. No price has been released.
