Oh lordy. I’m not big on mecha (that’s robot for you, who don’t know what mecha is), but I’ve had my share of it. And now, Softbank has come up with every mecha geek’s ultimate dream — a mecha-phone called the SoftBank 815T PB by Toshiba. The new SoftBank 815T PB model comes in two different versions as you can see on the pic — the Silver X07 and the Blach X01. Aside from 3G capability, this phone features a 2.4-inch QVGA TFT LCD with 0.8 in monochrome OLED subdisplay, 3.2-megapixel camera with auto-focus, 14 MB built-in memory, and a microSD card slot expandable up to 2GB. Other features include “Buddy Talk” which lets you communicate with your phone as it displays a variety of expressions:

…and “Mobile Story,” a card type battle RPG. Of course, as mentioned, these phones can transform into mecha-like bots with movable limbs. The SoftBank 815T PB phone will be available in Japan by April 2008. Check out the phones in their tame, unaltered state after the jump.
