Softbank gets all touchy-feely with their latest mobiles; shows Apple a thing or two

Softbank has gone all touchy-feely with their Winter 2008 Japanese mobile collection including several touch screen mobiles which borrow a lot from the iPhone but also offer some features I'd love to see Apple roll into the iPhone sometime soon. My pick of the bunch is the 931SH Japanese with a gorgeous 480 x 1024 touch screen interface and specs that make the iPhone look very old.

Nokia's E71 also makes an appearance for people out there who prefer real keyboards. More pictures and details of the entire collection are available here Japanese .
