All fans rejoice, the 945SHG Ver.GP30th RX-78-2 is out.
Pardon me? The 945SHG Ver.GP30th RX-78-2?
The Gundam phone, in short. It’s just Softbank sticking with a very clear keitai line-up, you know.
This year marks the 30th anniversary of the figurines (and the 31st year of the show) and Bandai partnered with the #3 carrier in Japan to give you that mecha extravaganza.
The phone itself is a modified Sharp, coming with a 12.1 megapixel and HD video capable camera and a HDMI-out to connect it to your brand new HDTV. Not sure the TV will handle the power of Gundam, though.
Like many of today’s offering in Japan, the phone has 1seg, the mobile terrestrial digital TV service, GPS and Bluetooth. Again, stuff that Gundam doesn’t need. He’s mightier.
The phone is waterproof though. Gundam doesn’t need to shower.
Good news for those gaijins having trouble reading Japanese, the phone can be switched to English. Now, I don’t know if Gundam would actually like that. Thread carefully here. You’ve been warned.
Here’s a short video of this phone:
