Go ahead, touch the G9—and experience the smooth feel of its stainless steel frame and the sure response of its slanted keys. Its exquisite size makes the mobile phone fit comfortably in the palm of your hand, while its slide action body never fails to delight. Moreover, the incoming call signal is hidden inside a slit. The G9 is a fully actualized practical precision instrument—like, for example, a fountain pen that has lasted for decades, or the wrist watch handed down from father to son.The creative force behind the G9’s design is Ichiro Iwasaki, the product designer who first proposed a mobile phone that had superior quality and passion, based on the au design project concept model “GRAPPA.” The G9 will alter your sense of value from specs to sensibility. For instance, your priority will shift from how “thin” it is to how “well” it fits in the palm of your hand, from speed to accuracy, and from ease of use to felt comfort. And then you start to see its “value” as a mobile phone. The more you use it, the more it fits your lifestyle. And that is exactly what we envisioned in a phone like this.
