Celebrating the fast approaching arrival of spring in Japan we have noticed a significant increase in cellphone fashion action lately.. even Wired magazine is getting into the game! Samantha Thavasa has barbie-doll pink N903i designer handset due out in March and Omote Sando Hills held a glitzy fashion show over the weekend to feature Sony Ericcson’s new 703i-series model (yes that would be the smell-phone) complete with a custom TinkerBell design by Disney. JiJi Press video after the jump.

Damn, we missed-out on getting one of these bling units for the Mrs. on Valentines day and somehow didn’t manage to get on the VIP list for this [ MSN Video ] SO703i Beauty Renaissance Collection launch event either
