The Vodaphone V604SH is one of those phones that really does make me jealous of Asian technology. It comes in three different color schemes—turquoise & black, white & silver, and black & red— and it's got some really great features I just don't expect to see here in the US for a really, really long time. Along with an analog TV tuner, it also includes a 32MB mini SD card and has a 3.2 megapixel camera with 2x optical zoom and automatic focus. It's a clamshell phone with a 2.4-inch display, weighs in at 5 ounces and can also tune into local FM radio stations.
