Betting - the recent freezers actually have a constant air flow (especially if the sensors detect that something warm is placed inside), meant to keep it dry and without free of bad smells. There is no danger of suffocation but there is a big danger of getting frostbite.

Oh yeaah…

aizoyurei ? you do make a point here - while the Japanese phone are more advanced than the IPhone, they are slowly killed by incompetent (idiotic) management and market handling (stupid greed). I wouldn't allow ANY manager over 45 y-o in such a company...

bdaniel08 - even if there are thousands of potential customers (which I strongly doubt) it was obviously not feasible to support them in Japan. Besides the software cost you'll need an English manual and local English support - impossible to do in this low cost economics... Let me put it…

Gaijin - do you actually know the cost of the English menu in Japan? I guess it's much better not to care about the 100 or so potential customers who can't read Japanese....

bgudry - having a bad day or somethin'? IMHO this device shows exactly how eco-oriented Japanese are - solving a problem (even if it's not one for the gaijins) and saving "gallons of water"... OTOH I know I would have be better without hearing some guys here, farthing and sh**ting…
