14 DAY TRIAL // I'm going to start by saying that basically all Japanese phones look the same, as in they're all clamshells (well, almost), they're all nice and smart and original and...waterproof? Well, no not exactly all of them. In fact very few of them are, but the F703i is. So hold it out in the rain, dip it in water, pour water over it or take it with you for a quick swim and you'll be surprised to see that it will still work, just the same as it did before.
Just so you know how far you can go, the mobile will apparently withstand exposure to water sprayed from any direction (so, yes, you can definitely use it in the shower or rain) and can be submerged up to 1m for 30 minutes tops.
The outer shell features a pretty original kind of illumination, and the phone comes with a relax mode, which - as the name suggests - is supposed to relax you with the help of one of the 15 relaxing patterns, each including a combination of music and enchanting illumination.
The next time the handset is not in use, it will switch to relax mode and start singing and flickering as you've previously set it to do. Other features that are clearly not as important include a 1.3 megapixel camera and a MicroSD card slot.
What else can you enjoy on this phone? Music of course, Napster and Chaku-Uta Full, which is said to be the hottest app in Japan and is basically a song download service for mobile phones. You'll get to pick your favorite color between Snow White, Blossom Pink and Lamp Black next month when the phone becomes available on NTT DoCoMo.
