    Anyone know if the J-SH53 and the SH505i are going to be like
similar looking and similar innards.... aka (TT21 and J-T51) but different on the
"software side"...  I'm curious about the SH505i, its about time someone else
made a 50x series phone.

    TT21 does chat & EZWEB and rabbits, and J-T51 does Jsky, movies and java, but otherwise
they are very similar... aka built in ringtones are the same, camera is the same, handset shape
is the same..... and so on.

    I notice Panasonic's models are all very similar when they come out close together.
Doesn't matter if its TuKa, JPhone or DoCoMo, they all have a lot of things in common.
