We’ve all accepted the reality that Japan has the straight up coolest handsets on the planet, and this lineup of NTT DoCoMo’s new flagship 9 series does nothing but up the ante. From the pic’s top left to bottom right, we have the NEC N904i, Sharp SH904i, Panasonic P904i, Fujitsu F904i, and Mitsubishi D904i. As an upgrade to the FOMA 903i series, the new 904i stable brings a pile of new goodies to the table with features like “2in1″ support (more on that in a moment), Uta-hodai (full track download), and Chokkan Game (game downloads with motion control), with One-Seg mobile TV reception and HSDPA on select models The 2in1 support is one of our faves, with two separate phone numbers, email addresses, and address books, all accessed via a mode-switching function which allows a, b, or dual-mode — no word if dual-mode enables both numbers at once. We’re also loving the Chokkan Game support, but the press release shared no detail about the touted “intuitive motion” beyond mention of finger tracing, tilting and waving as means of control. Pocket Wii, anyone?
