Japanese mobile giant NTT DoCoMo has launched handsets promising scents and a double screen.

The DoCoMo mobile 'smelly phone' is the SO703i from Sony Ericsson, which uses scented sheets that produce an aroma when the device is opened.

The operator said the scent sheets are designed to relax users during a phone call, according to Reuters.

There are 9 panel styles to choose from, each with a different fragrance. (quote via businessweek, picture via sonyericsson.co.jp)
