Isn’t it amazing how thin cellular phones are getting? Pretty soon we won’t be able to place one to our ear without getting some sort of paper cut.

“Hello. OWWW!”
“Are you all right?”
“Yeah. I need a Bluetooth Headset for this RZR blade!”

Oh, I’m sorry, I think I misspelled “razor”, or maybe this is a Motorola reference. Oh well. Anyway, Softbank’s newest phone, the 705P, is one of the thinnest out, measuring at 14.8mm in width. Yet even with a thickness that thin, it is capable of so much.

One of the best features is the video camera that is located above the 2.2 inch LCD screen. This is something that (at least, to this writing) that only the Softbank 705P has, and this 1.1 Megapixel CMOS screen is perfect for what will probably be a rising trend in mobile communication: video conferencing. Not only is there a camera on the front, but on the back is a 2 Megapixel camera that supports 9.7 x Zoom as well as other professional digital features. No more shoddy cell phone pictures with this bad boy!

Another impressive feature is its ability to support Adobe Flash files, which make it able to load more Flash animations and movies. It also has a built-in MP3 player (up to 3 hours of music tracks), a USB connection, as well as a micro-SD expansion slot. Of course, it is Bluetooth compatibility as well as the ability to play the ever-so-popular close distance “near-games”

I also didn’t mention the cool “one-push open” feature. A button on the hinge of the phone allows the user to flip it out much easier than a regular clamshell phone.

So far, this phone will probably only be sold in Japan. There is no word that it will be sold in the States.
