A tiny, big screen

Panasonic Viera P905i

Think of it as the world's smallest "big-screen" TV. Panasonic's Viera Ketai handset boasts a 3in screen with a contrast ratio of 2000:1 - comparable to that of many full-size LCDs, along with powerful image processing and a tuner for Japan's 1seg ("one seg") mobile broadcasting service.

You can use the Panasonic Viera P905i as a standard vertical flip phone to make calls, or turn it 90 degrees and flip the screen open horizontally to watch TV and play 3D games. High-speed broadband, GPS tracking, and a 5Mp camera complete the package.
