Me too!

You should see my pile of phone hehe

Yuuku preserved Mushihimesama Gaiden (虫姫さま外伝), a keitai-exclusive spinoff of CAVE's #Mushihimesama series! You walk around and throw bombs at enemies, which is a departure from CAVE's usual bullet hell shooters.

I've finally acquired both a Japanese Razr and an American Razr. What surprises me the most is how similar they look, given how unique Japanese phones tend to be. Amazingly, the M702iS is compatible with the same debugging tools as other Motorola phones #Motorola #razr

Trying to debug a Japanese Samsung feature phone, but I've only been able to activate this upload data mode once! Does anyone have more info? Search engine results are almost all focused on Android. #Samsung #FeaturePhones

Yes, this is an advertisement for a mobile phone. What? How? Look up the SoftBank 840SH and you'll find a commercial with a song that happens to be trending on social media right now #keitai #prettylittlebaby

Official Hello Kitty Phones: The 831SH KT was released alongside the other 831SH phone models in 2009. The official name for the Hello Kitty color is "Strawberry Milk." #hellokitty

Official Hello Kitty Phones: The C401SA from Sanyo came with a Hello Kittt graphic on the front cover, and related media on the inside #hellokitty

Official Hello Kitty Phones: The A3104S by Sony Ericsson received a Hello Kitty edition release featuring multiple front plates and a matching charm. #hellokitty

In another episode of "this phone is real?" We have the Toshiba TSX06, also called the "X-RAY." This phone has a semi-transparent shell that makes its internals visible - a beautiful aesthetic.

Japanese phone provider KDDI focused a lot on style. Here are some images of officially released chargers, which I am really tempted to either purchase or try to recreate myself!
Shown below: AC Adapter Midori, WORLD OF ALICE, and CODE ROUTER.

Going to post about cool phone docks because why not?
This is the Q-pot SH-04D came with a "Chocobed": a wireless charging dock that looks like a layer of dessert. Who knew a phone could be so appetizing? #keitai

I see phone, automatic like ❤️

While we haven't found #MegaMan 9's i-mode port, we did find a Hatsune Miku-themed ROM hack of it... Mickman 39. It's a trial version with 1 stage. The boss is Kagamine Len. Touhou characters and even Spiderman make appearances as enemies. It's also surprisingly difficult! Truly a fever dream.

The Docomo SH-06C, released in 2011, has a very special feature: a built-in projector! Seriously, this would be a much better way to show videos to my friends than my regular phone screen. I wonder about battery life though 🤔 #keitai

The N701iECO, released by Docomo in 2006, has an exterior shell built entirely out of biodegradable plastic! Additionally, 1% of all charges to users who owned this phone were used to fund environmental protection activities. I wish I could get one nowadays! #keitai

Hey folks! I've been busy on TikTok after getting a surprisingly warm response on the platform, including one video with 750k+ views! Still, I find myself wanting to share more phone facts than I can fit in a video, so I'll be posting some more here :)

This game is more difficult than I had expected.

Here's footage of Lost Chronicle. If you'd like to play any of these games, we use the DoJa 5.1 SDK emulator (keitaiwiki.com/wiki/I%CE%B1...). Game resources are on the Keitai Wiki Discord server, where there's also resources for emulator troubleshooting. I'm always happy to help, too!

An anonymous user preserved a COMPLETE copy of Xenosaga: Pied Piper and Lost Chronicle! Lost Chronicle was Namco's original i-mode RPG. Pied Piper was a previously-lost #Xenosaga spinoff, with 3 chapters and an original story. @valakturtle.bsky.social has already working on an English patch!

For anyone who happens to have a TikTok, I've just started making regular content on the platform. It's not the same as the content on here given the nature of the platform, so check it out and follow if you like it!

A large portion of the Japanese feature phone game library consisted of #arcade ports from the 80s. This is an early mobile version of the Konami classic TIME PILOT.

It took a while, but we've finally discovered how to download the #HatsuneMiku Machi-Chara from the SO-04E (special edition Hatsune Miku phone), and install it on other Android devices! This is a video of Hatsune Miku Mei-Chan in BlueStacks.

Very exciting discoveries!

The Fujitsu F901iC, released in 2004, came with a Tweety Bird video avatar pre-installed. We can't make video calls on a F901iC, but we can run the avatar in an emulator! Enjoy this piece of obscure Japanese #LooneyTunes media.

Yes it is!

Bazaru de Gozaru No Game Degozaru is a PC Engine CD game developed by Game Freak and published by NEC in 1996. Amazingly, NEC never forgot about this character—about 15 years later, he appeared as a pre-installed digital assistant on NEC mobile phones!

Columns Jewel Instructional PDF : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive Instruction PDF for the mobile game Columns Jewel. The game and the PDF came pre-installed on the Mitsubishi D902i.

Thanks to a chip dump from my friend Cuebus, we can retrieve additional files from early Fujitsu and Mitsubishi cell phones. I've extracted the instruction PDF for #Columns Jewel from a D902i. It was likely preinstalled to highlight the phone's ability to read documents.
