And it is stupid stuff like this Sharp keeps posting net losses.

Thank you Thunderbird2
I think the price is reasonable considering it could be a companion for the old people. It would be nice if RoBoHon can call 119 in an emergency.

Are people downgrading Tina out of spite? She only said what it really means.
I think it's a nice little novelty item, but not at that price.

Not exactly a comfortable fit in your pocket; the phone, not the girl.

Robot phone

She even makes robohon nazi-like salute looks cute! J girl-next-door saleswoman type at its best.

i would prefer to talk to the lady than the plastic toy.... the world is getting very wierd

It looks like she is holding the RoBoHon as a phone. Anyway, she would be the 'Hon' - that would make it a RoBoFon!

Exactly, something like this is only a novelty product. Sadly,Japan Inc. has lost the ability to come up with any innovation that excites domestically or worldwide.

I would be embarrassed with a big / colorful phone case, let alone walking down the street talking with one of these things.
clueless
WHY?

And it's things like this that sent Sharp bankrupt

Hahaha, everyone is seemingly interested in the lady not RoBoHon. I exactly agree.

This is not new, was already introduced in October 2015:

I am not sure about a $2000 crappy plastic gimmick made phone which will fit perfectly in your pocket, even if coupled with a few servos is a revolutionary idea but as long as SHARP believes it will save them out of the red, keep it on.

She is the Robo Honey

OK, so what is "RoBoHon" supposed to mean? Your "Robot Honey"? First, get a better name.
