posted on by Egan Loo
Details announced on SH-O6A NERV phone overseen by director Anno

The official Evangelion anime website has posted the 30-second commercial for the Blu-ray Disc and DVD reissue of the later on DVD this year.

In related news, the Japanese Evangelion website has provided more details on the supervised and participated in all aspects of the phone's design (including the accessories and packaging), since the phone was designed for use in the new Evangelion films. In the fictional description, the "Type 5 information management and control device" was developed for personnel of the secretive Nerv organization, using MAGI System technology that has rarely been provided to civilian companies.

The 135-gram (4.76-ounce) phone features a 3.3-inch main display, a 10-megapixel outer camera, and a 0.4-megapixel inner camera. A Nerv logo hologram appears on the Evangelion Store, and 10,000 more will be sold regularly, but only from June to July. The official website is streaming a promotional video.

Update: Video link fixed. Thanks, Brian Ruh.

Update 2: Funimation is waiting for clarification from Japan on whether the American release will include 1.01 or 1.11. Either way, Funimation will call the American release Evangelion 1.0.
