This plays a practical function too for women to be able to tuck the phone into their saris (like some do their keys) so that they can carry them around easily. Interesting to see technology adapting to cultures! In India the hook thingy in the cell phone is essential so they can dangle a cord.

I think it took her about 3 years to sell them all. I have no idea whether it ended up being worth it or not either!!!

It hasn't really taken off here in the US so much, but it is just so cute. Then again, as much as we think cells are ubiquitous in the US... it's still *nothing* like in Japan! I tried practicing texting this weekend, sending messages back and forth with my daughter, who can text like a fiend. I just can't do it. Even though my hands and fingers are tiny, I vastly prefer a full keyboard!! We noticed this trend when we were in Japan in ‘03.

I would however get a cute little dog like the one you got as it reminds me of my dog, whom I live and walk for.

You can find them from a euro a piece to super expensive. Sometimes the cell phone company even offers you a free one with the purchase of your phone. That is how I got my pink swarovski crystal and silver one. They are fun and surprisingly can make it easier to find your phone if it happens to slip down into you purse.

They are very cute and intelligent animals (honest)! They have those charms all over Chinatown. Every Asian girl I know, whether Chinese, Korean, or Japanese, seems to have one. I never really saw the point of them until I put a little strap on my phone. It makes it SO much easier to find if it falls out of the pocket in my oversized tote. These are just a much cuter version of my ratty old strap so I'll probably get one if I ever have time to make it down to CT. I would love one that's custom made to look like my kitty cat but since that's not likely, I'll settle for a rat! I am also a rat and I have no problem with that because I like rats.

There's the tinest little leash attached to it that goes thru an equally tiny place on most phones and attaches it. You can find these "phone charms" everywhere! I'm the sign of the horse, but that didn't thrill me. Friends have given me dresses, shoes, purses, but my little star works best for me.

Joy, you’re right, Japanese people are into cell phone ornaments too. San, you could have an embroidery machine dangling from your cell phone!
