Summary:
Wherein WWJ staff line up a sexy, passion-red, brand-spanking new J-T08 from Toshiba - with a stunning LCD display - against a dowdy, dull-silver, two-year-old Panasonic P209iS in the handset grudge match of the year! We also toss a Sharp SH-52 camera phone into the ring... Japan's pocket rockets have come a long way, baby, and it's tough to beat the Tosh's sleek lines, world-beating LCD screen, and silky smooth sound. Like their automaker brethren of a generation ago, does this lop-sided fight mean that Japan's handset makers have mastered the art of 'continuous improvement?' We think so - and this program shows you why.
