[BALMUDA PHONE REVIEW]

It’s not just a weird phone; it’s a small phone – and today, both are tough to come by. So when a company best known for designer tea kettles and a $300 toaster oven said it was building a compact Android smartphone for the Japanese market, I knew I had to go hands-on. I’m Michael Fisher and this is MrMobile’s Balmuda Phone Review.
