DOCOMO adds another to the growing ranks of mobile phones doubling as fitness buddies: the "Raku Raku Phone V" (that's V as in "Five"). You can hold a fingertip over the camera to measure your pulse, and count your steps with the pedometer powered by a three-axis accelerometer. Aimed at beginners and seniors, the clamshell 3G phone also features an easy-read screen, "Super Hakkiri Voice 2" sound enhancement to enhance listening, and easy one-hand opening. About JPY40,000, from August.
