More KDDI phones

infobar.jpg KDDI is having a busy day. One more 3G phone set for release in November is based on a concept model by designer Naoto Fukasawa (who has also worked for Muji), developed as part of the company's au design project.

The Infobar is small at 138 mm long/42 wide/11 deep, but finds room for a still/video camera with flash, and runs BREW applications. Nothing much to set it apart function-wise from the existing range, but it does at least look different. I think I'd go for the Building, personally.

Press release in Japanese with photos.

Update: replaced the photo with a better one from K-Tai Watch; click on link for the full-sized version.

Update [10/10]: Some more, better-quality photos at ZDNet Japan, including this very clear close-up.
