Doraemon J300i for Asia

Juniper Foo | Sep 22, 2005

Take a bow, o lipless one. Sony Ericsson is turning to the other Japanese feline with the irresistible grin, the blue-skinned Xiao Ding Dang, to draw youngsters to its limited-edition Doraemon J300i phones. We suspect collectors will be making discreet purchases as well. Starting today, the limited-edition mobiles will be rolled out in Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines and Indonesia, with SingTel offering just 1,000 handsets within our sunny isle. Each bundle will be themed to contain either a blue or pink Doraemon Style-Up faceplate, accompanying phone pouch and phone strap with screen cleaner, though no Doraemon ringtones. Through some strange marketing decision, Singaporeans will get only the blue version, whereas our Philippine neighbors will even receive a soft toy of the robocat with the purchase of a K300i prepaid phone kit. Bummer. Oh yeah, before we forget, happy 35th birthday, Xiao Ding Dang.

Special-edition pink RAZR

Juniper Foo | Sep 16, 2005

In answer to queries about a certain mysterious RAZR, yes, there is a limited-edition version. Yes, it's in hot pink! And, no, it isn't for sale (yet). To prove it, here are pictures emailed to us by Motorola Singapore. Unfortunately, while there was a sweepstake in the US earlier for two sets to be given away, it appears you have to be star material to earn the rights to this girlie version. To date, it's been sighted in the hands of Hilary Duff, the Simpson sisters, the Hilton sisters, and tennis babe Maria Sharapova who sports the customary signature on the back. In fact, in her blog on Motorola's homepage, the tennis princess coyly writes: "I was showing off my cool pink RAZR phone to everyone. They were all so jealous. I had to apologize because Motorola made it special for me. Sorry! You can't order them." So there.
