I suppose it was only a matter of time. This handset, which will almost certainly never see our fair shores, sports a 3.1-inch 3D screen — 3D capable, to be precise, since I doubt there’s any 3D content ready to go, even in Japan (and certainly not Captain EO). Not sure whether you need glasses for it; I’d assume so.

The rest of the Ketai H001 is more prosaic, but it’s a cool-looking thing if you like tankphones. The screen swivels to a sort of mobile internet device placement like other TV phones, and it’s got a 5-megapixel autofocus camera. Ain’t nothing wrong with that.

I like the little embedded display on the top shell. The “prism” styling actually is to my liking, although if they’re going to make a phone that big, why not go full QWERTY? I will tell you. Because in Japan they can type faster on those pads than we can on full keyboards. Japanese schoolgirls for the win!
