Lucky!

That actually makes me want a flip-phone. Too bad I won't be able to get one. Confused

y'know... I think I'd actually get a cel phone finally if I could get that. granted, I'm already mostly over my phobia concerning phones, but this would get me more likely to commit to one more readily.

Just imagine what would've happened if they decided to do product placement with the iPhone and an Evangelion-branded model of that. It'd be like the device's launch all over again.

Rei is smiling...

Just watch. It's all part of some elaborate government plan. Some time in the future, those who are still using it will get an anonymous call and be asked, "Will you join us?"

I have to get one of these and put it with my other NERV equipment I've collected over the years. Be awesome to cosplay as a NERV agent - complete with phone and ID...

Of course they would never think of selling something like that in this US... even though I'm sure a lot of people would buy it... at least I know I would buy it... maybe ten of them. lol

Yet another product with the NERV logo stamped on it to help them wring every last possible penny from the pockets of mindless fanboys and further suck the Eva cash-cow dry, woohoo!

...I want one D:

If it was built like a brick with the guts of a phone from the late 90s, I'd but it. Because otherwise, what's the point in branding it a NERV phone if you're not going to make an effort?
