JT I'm a bit confused as to whether I should rush out and buy this product, or if I should buy one of KDDI’s new au Smart Sports handsets that Daisuke Miyazaki, 26, was promoting here on March 27th. I mean which is better? He seems to love both. Should I just buy both or even two of both and mention where I found about about these products? Please advise.

Easytokyo: Please report to the offices for consumer reprogramming. That is all.

East, I recommend the new softbank, sharp, chrome, 821sh. Its sleek and you don't have to be a hand baller to use it.

Those dimensions are a little bit smaller than what I'm used to, but I'll take her. Thanks.

God I hate in this country how sports stars suddenly get famous, and then they do these ads and stupid variety shows and things and probably don't do enough training. I bet his team mates are happy about this.

East,

Oops. Sorry. Still getting used to the navigation.

I think they should have put one of the girls from the curling team in the photo instead of Rie for balance
