AU by KDDI Infobar
Quick ViewEvaluation in my collection: Great – 9.5/10
Life timer: N/A | Boxed: NO
Release Year: 2003 | Release Price: n/a
About: INFOBAR is the first terminal of the au design project . The base model is Sanyo Multimedia Tottori’s A5306ST , and there is almost no difference in performance except for the presence or absence of a sub-display (A5306ST has it, but INFOBAR does not). The prototype model “info.bar”, which was exhibited as a reference at the “Business Show 2002 TOKYO” held from May 17th to 19th, 2002 , is the basis of the design. Designed by product designer Naoto Fukasawa . The software also has a unified feel, with the image of a terminal design.
The housing is a straight type made of magnesium [1] . External memory is not supported. The camera is a 310,000 pixel CCD . There are three color variations: NISHIKIGOI (red and beige. Light blue on the button), ICHIMATSU (black and white), and BUILDING (indigo and silver). From April 2004 , ANNIN (white) was released as a new color. This color naming uses the name that engineers naturally started to call at the time of development. The response of INFOBAR was very large, and many stores were sold out after the release date.
This model is the last model made by Tottori Sanyo Electric, and the symbol at the end of the model number is “ST”. Subsequent terminals made by Tottori Sanyo Electric are the same as the terminals made by Sanyo Electric in Osaka, and the end of the model number. The symbol of is “SA”.
Selected for the 2003 Good Design Award [1] , and received the “iF Product Design Award” from the German iF Design Award in 2005 [2] . In 2007, the same model was selected as a collection in the Museum of Modern Art, New York , USA [ 3] , and in 2013, in the Indianapolis Museum of Art, USA [4] .

Fujitsu F505i
Quick ViewWOW Factor: first mobile phone using fingerprint authentication technology
Evaluation in my collection: Good – 9/10
Life timer: N/A | Boxed: NO
Release Year: 2003 | Release Price: N/A
About: https://www.theflipside.info/f505i.php – It’s the year 2003 #pastfuturetechnology. In the Western world today, people know Fujitsu for air conditioners, laptops and other electronics, but not so much for mobile phones.
As a matter of fact, Fujitsu has a long-standing history of producing quality mobile phones for the three major telecom networks of Japan ? NTT Docomo, Softbank and ‘au by KDDI’.
Let’s start with the Fujitsu F505i. It is known to be the world’s first commercially available mobile phone with an integrated fingerprint scanner. Now, we know fingerprint scanners well because of iPhone, the Samsung Galaxy range and other Androids, but a decade before the iPhone 5S debuted and made Touch ID a success (and still 8 years before the Motorola Atrix), Fujitsu equipped its range of mobile terminals with biometric support of this kind.
Why have many people never heard of it then? Well, it’s complicated. Japan’s exclusive 2G network technology ? Personal Digital Cellular (PDC) ? was, well exactly that? exclusive. To Japan. But things didn’t become much better once the globally standardised W-CDMA services launched, and Fujitsu remained loyal to its local networks. Perhaps that’s the reason their efforts to introduce biometric security were largely ignored in the GSM and CDMA worlds.

Nokia 2300 Orange
Quick ViewEvaluation in my collection: Great – 9/10
Nokia Codename: Nickel
Life timer: 382h | Boxed: NO
Release Year: 2003 | Release Price: ~150 USD
About: Nokia presented the Nokia 2300 model back in last year, in Moscow; however this model went for sale only now. This phone is targeted for the youth, and is presented in two colors ? pink and grey. If the first one is obviously made for females, then the second one is made for men. The design once again became the company?s main target, the keyboard is made of smooth plastic, it pleasant when you touch it, the keys are oval and get crossed between each other. The keyboard looks unusual, but when you are actually use it no problems are encountered. I believe that this is the seldom exception when unusual keyboard design is actually convenient. The backlight is not even, the keys get highlighted differently, depending on the plastic?s color. For some reason this causes dissonance, typing without any source of light around is not as pleasant, as doing the same operation during the day.
