to be honest.. i see no reason of me purchasing this USD $399 gadget.. afterall i am only at the basic stage of learning Japanese language.. sighx.. my urge to buy it came when i saw my classmate who is a TaiTai.. showing it off ytd after lesson.. its really a COOL tool!! its red in colour too =) (not dat i love red but its coloured! n not the typical boring silver coating
)
btw i heard from my teacher.. who is a native Japanese.. that students of all ages carry this kinda gadget ard.. its part of their what-to-bring-to-school-everyday-list.. wow.. so for Jap peeps they can’t live without 2 electronic items? 1) electronic dictionary 2) Handphone!!
i was very impressed with their handphone designs.. kawaii desu ne!
