Watanabe Ken & Horikita Maki promote NTT DoCoMo’s new line-up

Actor Watanabe Ken and actress Horikita Maki attended a press conference of NTT DoCoMo to introduce their new ‘2011-2012 Winter/Spring Models’ lineup of mobile and smart phones, as well as their newest mobile services.

Both of them have been working as image characters for NTT DoCoMo for a while now and, in the most recent commercials, disguised themselves as actual smart phones.

Watanabe seems to be satisfied with his acting as a smart phone and commented, “I won’t lose against a dog!” He was referring to NTT’s biggest rival, Softbank Mobile and their extremely popular ‘White Family’ commercials, starring a speaking dog as the father of the said family.

About the new smart phones, he added, “Compared to my current Galaxy II, they have a lot more functionalities, a higher resolution and clearer screen. It’s incredible how thin they are despite the amount of features. Moreover I was surprised by how much they’ve increased the speed of the transmissions.”

Horikita promoted the new models and said, “I also was surprised how thin and light they are. The new models are stylish and useful. They’ve made a lot of progress coming up with new ways to use and to enjoy your phone. Even first time users and women will have no problems using the new models, so please don’t hesitate and get one for yourself.”

In total, NTT introduced 14 new smart phones, 8 new mobile phones, and some new tablets. They also revealed that four new smart phones that use the next generation high speed communication service ‘Xi‘, will already go on sale as early as November this year.
