Japan may be one of the few countries in the world where product placements will work even in an anime. NTT DoCoMo/Sharp's upcoming SH-06A phone will appear in an upcoming Evangelion movie, having been designed by director Hideaki Anno and Studio Khara, and will go on sale around release time. Also, this phone isn't some cheap movie tie-in gimmick--the thing has got a freaking 10 megapixel camera, a built-in LED flashlight and a 3.3" screen.
