With the release of the Toshiba 815T PB, a boxy looking 3G phone featuring a 3.2Megapixel auto focus camera and a QVGA screen, Softbank branded, we think we have a pretty average flip style phone. 

Although quite often, not all is as it seems, as with a lot of devices these days there are multiple levels of functionality. Background wise, the afore mentioned phone was developed to coincide with the release of a new Japanese TV series, called Ketai Sousakan 7. So why might this be a  world changer?

Well maybe cause it walks and talks and transforms into

a toy. Yeah I know, not world changing really, but the attraction of a neat transforming phone, that’ll help while away all those tedious hours when no one is actually calling you, will probably be off the registerable scale. Does this strike any one else as a farcical, if not insulting promotional development, that only serves as a media tool, and makes phone users look infantile?

That television program better be really good!
