It may interest you to know that this is NOT a mainstream consumer handset, it's an inernational handset designed for roaming outside of japan, hence it not being in an official series lineup.
The previous phone that did this was designed by NEC, but the thinking is that it's probably cheaper to just buy whatever nokias already got that works rather than build a new one.
These have been on display shelves for some time, I picked one up a few weeks ago to find it flimsy, plasticy and generally just cheap feeling. Nokia have a way to come before they'll make any success in the Japanese market.
