Go ahead and feel it for yourself—how comfortable this mobile phone really is. The misora’s color, like water and sky, takes as its motif the nonchalance of everyday life. Like the many layers of clouds and evening moonlight reflected on the ocean’s surface, the misora has its own gradations—the fine nuance of the sky stained by the sunset. Its kaleidoscopic expressions replay those dramatic moments that catch your eye in daily life. The subtle hue that changes expression with each tilt in the angle of light closes the distance between you and your mobile phone.
Your hand knows the comfort of this mobile phone—its sense of familiarity in the palm of your hand, the gentle curve of its spine. You are taken with the sense that you’ve touched it before. The large keys are a revelation of smooth, sure-handed operability. The misora was designed by Yoshitaka Mukai, who is expert at designing products that blend in seamlessly with your lifestyle. The shape of the misora keeps it close at hand, with an unencumbered design that is easy to hold and a cinch to use.

Once again, we have redefined what “comfort” means in a mobile phone. Perhaps it’s true after all that it’s the simplest functions that are easiest to use and give the most satisfaction. What you will discover in the misora is that the sense of comfort is most palpable in the moments you use the mobile phone the most. For instance, when you type in a character is when you feel the least amount of stress. With the “Sugu-moji” (Instant Text) function the “instant input” button a character is inputted directly from the standby screen, making all those time-wasting functions disappear just like that. From the very moment you begin thinking about sending a message, you can start typing it in. And another thing. Your mobile phone is a tool that makes you feel great every time you see it. For the character display, we have adopted the “Shin Go” font, which is widely used in a diverse array of media due to its high visual acuity. The mobile phone’s character readability has been dramatically enhanced by the ability to switch character size with a single touch. And it doesn’t end there with amazing simplicity. For ease-of-use, your phone knows exactly how to get cozy with you. Which is yet one more reason to go ahead and touch a misora—we dare you.
