Most cellphones these days are way too advanced for the average user when it comes to ease-of-use, but thankfully Toshiba's Drape handset (also known as the W46T) in Japan displays a traditional analog clock on the main 2.6" QVGA display. Those who prefer to get on with the times can always switch that piece of history with the standard cellphone interface, but it is nice to see modern devices featuring a blast from the past. The Toshiba Drape clamshell handset was so-named due to its curtain-like appearance when closed. Other features include a microSD memory card slot, a 3 megapixel camera, and a pair of Sony earphones. There is no word on pricing, but it will be available in black, bronze, and white colors when released. Originally from Impress.co.jp (In Japanese)
