Developed by KDDI and also known as the W46T, the mobile phone is destined for Japanese service provider au. The first thing that stands out when looking at this phone is its uncommon design. There are people out there who find it modern looking while most will think it looks old-fashioned, but the phone is more like a blend between the two.

Toshiba 's mobile phone has been named Drape because it has a curtain-like appearance when closed. Available in three different colors, black, white or bronze, the clamshell will greet you with a traditional analog clock that can be switched with the standard cell phone interface for those who aren't very interested in using a mobile phone just for knowing what time it is.

Although it might look old-fashioned, with its curtain-like appearance and the analog clock, looks can sometimes be deceiving and when it comes to features, the Drape packs a 2.6 inch QVGA internal display, a 3 megapixel camera with autofocus, 1xEV-DO Rev.A, EZ channel plus, EZ news flash and LISMO. The combination between an MP3 player, a MicroSD card slot for that extra memory to store all your music on and Sony-branded earphones will pretty much satisfy any music enthusiast out there.

Some might like this phone while I'm sure that some would consider it really ugly, and while there is no information regarding the mobile phone's price, it's almost a sure thing that this phone will only be available in Japan.
