If Apple would slap a NERV logo on their iPhone, would that help their sales in Japan?

That's a lot of money for a phone. I wish I had that kind of money to spend.

90000 yen...that's ~8% of the average twenty-something year-old animator's salary over there!
Well I bet Khara's getting a pretty penny off of these. |

Woot! They are available on Yahoo Japan's Auctions for only 200,000 yen at buy it now! Some of the unlimited auctions have not ended yet, but prices are at nearly 200,000 yen already for those too! I would not be surprised if they sold for 500,000 yen next week!
*edit* 229,800 yen highest price now |

I'll bet there will be an English-language version of the phone when (and IF) Eva 2.0 comes out over here.
And correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't 90,000 yen more like $200? |

Hello all,
First off I'd love to say how much I love EVA and how much i would love to own this phone, the specs look fantastic, the only stopping point for me is the 90,000 YEN price tag, roughly converted that means around $1,146AUD (Australian Dollars), expensive yes, but something that will make a welcome addition to not only the technological masterpieces of the near future, but any hardcore Evangelion fan. Now all we need is ready-made plugsuits, neuro-synaptic interfaces and the ability to see past the walls of our own souls (EVA's AT Field, Rupert Sheldrake's Morphogenetic Field). Finally good to be posting, hope to do so again shortly. |

Minimum wage in Japan must be like $30 an hour.

Cripes, I love Eva, but that's a hell of a lot of money for a phone.
