The AU brand of Japanese carrier KDDI has announced the INFOBAR 2, a candybar phone designed by the industry-famed Naoto Fukasawa. The successor to the original INFOBAR retains the same basic philosophy, emphasizing minimalism and an extremely smooth surface; similarly, number keys are extremely large for quick dialing. Other features include a 2.6-inch OLED screen, a two-megapixel autofocus camera, and a microSD slot for storing media including music. Release is expected in late November, with four different colors: red, green, beige and silver. [via Impress Watch]
