    Cool Keitai Engrish

    The misuse of English in Japanese phones has been discussed before but there's no thread dedicated to it. So, I decided to make one - just for a laugh.
    Screenshots or photos welcome!

    Moving drugs? Anyone?

    Yeah, it's too bad my Digno phone doesn't have a built-in screenshot function. There's a lot less Engrish on there than on Sharp's phones though, rather they just didn't bother translating a lot of things (oneseg is all in Japanese, for example).

    Here's some memorable ones from the SH-13C:

    Ho-ho-ho, I am actually having a hard time understanding what they mean in both screenshots, ROFL!

    Patrixl, you can take a picture of the Digno with the SH-13C I guess.

    Exactly the same "Energy saving" text and pop up dialog box on the 005SH.

    SH-13C is now in my possession Battery is still thousands of kilometers away in Patrix's house/apartment though.

    Let's try to set!

    Unfortunately my 007SH is somewhere in my cabinet so no screenshots from there yet. Probably the same errors Patrix has observed though.

    I sold my 940SH- shame, there were some pretty funny (clearly Google Translated) menus in there.

    Home+ power makes a screenshot on the sh-13c...

    For digno I need to use the sdk and ddms on my computer to make screenshot. Feasible but not when I'm on the go.

    Delete Really?

    Got this from my P905i. Asking if I want to delete all the files on the phone; I just laugh every time when this message pops up. Apparently, my keitai were astonished to delete all my files. Maybe they meant Delete Thoroughly or Completely, which sounds more appropriate.
    I Japanese phones!

    "Delete truly?" Good one! Wish I had it on my phone.
