In Japan, even with their 500-foot mechs and supercomputer cellphones, some people are craving Apple's smartphone. One fanboy went so far as to transfigure his Sony Ericsson Walkman W52S slider to...is "resemble" being too generous?...an Apple iPhone. From it's horribly scuffed face to the hammered-on metallic edging, it's confirmed. We need to get Japan some iPhones before this guy cuts his ear on a sharp piece. Here are two more pics for your enjoyment:

Get the guy with the shotgun and SHOOT IT NOW!!!!!!! Put the Ericsson out of its misery A.S.A.P!!!!!!!
That thing is an abomination. lol
Nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Never underestimate the craftiness of the Japanese supernerd.
I'm reminded of this : [www.ephinx.com]
abortions R' U!
That's far better than I could have done.
Clearly he does not have big bucks sitting around and wanted to carry an iPhone, so he did the best he could. Let's face it, if this is all he could afford to do, he couldn't afford an iPhone anyway.
Forget the iPhone, give this guy some nail clippers!!
Man, that guy is crafty, and very desperate. Pretty awesome how he turned an Ericson into a I-Phone.
This man has managed to turn an apple into a lemon!
No he turned a peach , into a turd...
I love how the Apple logo is backwards on the back.
I wanna meet this guy. Maybe he can help me, I'm trying to make a Mac Pro with clips, bolts, three transistors & a CRT.
Wow, if I jailbreak my iPhone will it spawn a keypad like his did?
Wilson, you didn't get it. This is not an iPhone clone... it's an early iPhone prototype.
Circa 1740.
You can clearly see it because in 1740 there was a worldwide shortage of nail clippers.
Wow. Its an "Aple ifone".
why would you show people this.
I mean
if you made it
why wouldn't you just immediately kill yourself?
/boggle
That's better than I could do.
SWEEEEET! That's the most awesome thing ever.
You have to admit that aluminum foil is a nice touch...
Forget the phone - Look at the dudes NAILS!
Cut them bro!
Be nice people you don't want any ritual suicide on your consciences.
@nincompoop: haha... this has nothing to do with the post, but I just thought it was funny how your name is nincompoop and you have a picture of bush. LOL
They are SO SO crazy and it never ends.
For those of you who mentioned his long fingernails:
Yeah he does need to clip his nails. But how do u notice that? the picture is to focus on the crappy phone, not wether the guy got a manicure, geez.
wow. that's pathetic.
Why doesn't he just...get a girlfriend??
@Jos: It's to avoid lawsuits. Ahahaha.
How can i put this nicely?.....That looks like pure shit
I think its amazing and apparently its already has been jailbroken by all the scratches and scuffs on it. This give the iphone some much needed street credit that it desperately lacks. West side Tokyo!!! Waz rool!
at least he has some nice, manicured nails to match his metrosexual phone.
LMAO
In other news, Apple stocks (APPL) fell 29 percent after a leaked picture of the second generation of iPhone hit the internet...
That's fairly awesome. I want that iFone.
Although it is pitiful, I guess it's not too bad, considering the lack of similarities between the Ericsson and the iPhone. Body needs work though.
@Gizmo: Awesomely random reference to the Peugeot 206 commercial.
I'll give the dude credit for two things. Making an effort, the aluminum tape is a very nice touch, and having the decency to at least have clean freakishly long fingernails.
This dude needs to cut his finger nails...
Haha the Apple on the back is a piece of paper... Goes to all the trouble with the metal but the one thing that makes it a iPhone and not a iFone he uses a piece of paper? Maybe it's a woman? Or he lost his nailclippers?
WTF not good man not good at all and the apple sign is backwards n stuff wow they do need a .50 calliber and shoot it dead lol
