`Quantum of Solace` branded cell phone launched in Japan

Hopping over to the land of the rising sun, where "Quantum of Solace" is released this weekend, a special edition version of the W63S mobile phone from KDDi au. Japan's second largest telecommunications company, KDDI au is proud to capitalize on the nation's fascination with James Bond - reports Mobile Mag.

The result of a cooperation between KDDI au and Okinawa Cellular, the Quantum of Solace Edition W63S comes by way of Sony Ericsson. As appears to be the norm in Japan, the W63S is a clamshell style phone with your standard set of cell phone features. It will probably come preloaded with Bond-inspired wallpapers and mobile content, but the most eye-catching stuff would be the Bond-themed casing.

If you happen to find yourself over in Akihabara, you'll be able to pick up the W63S Quantum of Solace 007 Edition for about $145. Do bear in mind that they are limiting production to just 3,000 units, so get 'em while they're hot.
