Android coming to SoftBank in spring 2010
At the bottom of SoftBank’s spring line up:
スタイリッシュなデザインに、3.7インチ有機EL液晶と1GHzの高速CPU「Snapdragon®」を採用したハイスペックなAndroidケータイ。Google™の各種サービスやAndroidマーケット™が利用可能。Wi-Fi対応
It will have a 3.7 inch OLED screen, a 1 GHz Snapdragon processor, wifi, and access to the all google services including the market.
This phone appears to be neither of the two phones making news in the Android community, the Motorola Droid, which has a 3.7 inch LED screen but a 550 MHz processor, and the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, which has a 1GHz snapdragon processor but a 4 inch screen.
It will be interesting to see if there is a significant difference in the credit checks of each company once Docomo and Softbank are offering very similarly priced phones. The guy at “softbank sucks” seems to think this will be the case.
