Japanese mobile operator NTT Docomo always brings a fun set of cell phones and smartphones to Mobile World Congress. Take a look in our hands-on photo gallery.
Mobile World Congress is an international show, with handset manufacturers, mobile operators, and developers from all over the world converging in one place. As such, it always gives us an opportunity to check out some of the devices available in other parts of the world, and over the years, we've enjoyed visiting Japanese mobile provider NTT Docomo's booth for its cool and unusual cell phones, and this year was no different.
Pictured here is a cell phone designed with Finnish textile and clothing design company Marimekko.

SH-08C Touch Wood
We remember seeing the SH-08C Touch Wood at last year's Mobile World Congress, but it was behind glass, so we're glad we could get hands-on time with this cool little number.

Regza Phone T-01C
The Regza Phone T-01C is a waterproof phone. We found the phone's description funny. It read, "Use your phone with peace of mind in the bathroom or kitchen, or even when you get caught outside in the rain."
