Sharp's adorable robot phone is a not-so-cute 1,800

If you hadn't heard of the RoboHon before, it's all the basic smartphone functions reborn into a tiny robot body. It walks, it dances, and an embedded projector inside its head can display photos and video at a functional-enough 720p resolution. Sharp confirms that it does have LTE radios inside: this was a big question mark when the phone was first announced, and the company adds that it's already working on NTT Docomo, Japan's biggest phone carrier -- although its plans to couple with smaller MVNO carriers at this point, rather than announce a launch with a big phone network. This could be crucial in deciding whether the phone sells in Japan: carriers will advertise with their own money -- Sharp may have to do a lot of the heavy PR lifting itself. "Do you think RoboHon will sell?"
