One thing Japanese phones are not is slim, which is not necessarily a bad thing because if they don't have to take size into consideration, they can freely pack their phones with everything humanly possible.

But there's always an exception to the rule, in this case NTT DoCoMo's RAZR-thin D703i. The phone's design is not something we haven't seen before, just as minimalist and squarish as the other phones in NTT DoCoMo's lineup.

Also it looks like the D703i is Japan's thinnest non-folding handset measuring only 9.9mm, although i for one am under the impression that they don't have many candybar phones to compare it to.

The mobile phone features a 2.4 inch 262k color TFT LCD screen with a 240 x 320 pixel (QVGA) resolution and a 1.3 megapixel CMOS camera.

Apparently made for the ones who are looking for a phone with enhanced security, the D703i comes with a dedicated key for manual key lock during any operation, aside from the automatic locking of the keys when the phone goes on standby when no operation is performed, and a privacy function that reduces screen and text contrast and narrows viewing angle so that no curious eyes, other than your own of course, can see what's on the phone's screen.

The user will be able to choose how the keys of the phone will light up as the phone features 27 different keypad illumination patterns. Measuring 130 x 49 x 9.9 mm and weighing as little as 83 grams, it's no wonder that this phone brings a more basic set of features than its more bulky brothers. NTT DoCoMo's D703i comes in three colors, Bright Red, Frozen White and Carbon Black.
