NERV Evagelion Smartphone Teaser

The official website for the upcoming Evangelion Smartphone, docomo NEXT series SH-06D NERV, has been updated with a teaser video of the phone. There is also a timer counting down to 2 May 2012 where more details of the smartphone will be reveal by NTT docomo.

The smartphone was first exhibited at the recent Anime Content Expo 2012, and the design of this smartphone would be similar to the cellphones that are issued by NERV in the upcoming Rebuild of Evangelion film. The NERV smarphone is expected to go on sale in Jun 2012 and I’m pretty sure it will be snapped up by fans within 5 hours just like the previous release.
