Things I Want - Mashimaro M808 Cell Phone

When I was 16 and I got my first car, I placed a Mashimaro plushie around my rear view mirror. In case your not a cute character lover like myself then you might be asking what the hell is a Mashimaro?

Simple. Its a Korean rabbit character who has become popular in Korea, Japan, and China. Think of him as the cooler Hello Kitty. He has been branded on everything from soda can bottles to toilet paper. I always thought he was adorable, and wished I could experience that cuteness year round. Well, now I can! Introducing the Mashimaro M808 Cellphone. Thats right, its a rabbit phone.

Sporting an orange fruit, the Mashimaro themed cell phone supports MP3, MPEG4, T-Flash for memory expansion & video recording through its 1 Megapixel camera. Sporting a 1.5”TFT LCD display screen, it also integrates EMS (Enhanced Messaging Service) and MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service). Routine features like alarm clock, world clock, calendar, calculator, currency converter, memo, PC sync, photo album, photo editor, wallpaper and 3 games are all a part of this rabbit themed cell.

Rendering up to 150 hours of standby time and up to 2 hours of talk time, it supports the GSM Dualband (900/1800MHz). Pearl white casing with matching red belted line and a specially designed toilet for charging the battery will appeal to all the Mashimaro fans. Hopping into the stores on 1st day of the valentine month, this Mashimaro M808 is tagged at $ 115 (900 Yuan).

Released in 2007, I've just found out about it now. Sad.
