Not having much luck finding a phone that meets my requirements so now I’m revisiting the “just build your own damn phone” path.

In the 1990s, NTT and SoftBank dominated Japan's telecommunications market. Amidst this, J-Phone emerged with the groundbreaking idea of a mobile phone with a camera, led by Keiji Takao. This innovation, driven by a dedicated team and significant challenges, revolutionized the industry, impacting both the mobile phone and digital camera markets. #mobilephotography #JPhone #KeijiTakao #mobileinnovation #telecommunications
