My awesome as hell iPhone app find of the week – stolen from someone else, of course.

iPhone Emoticons; available since 3.0 release but unlocked only on Japanese iphones. Find out how to unlock it. Jail-breaking not necessary.

1. Go to App Store
2. Search for “emoji”
3. Download “Emoji Free!”
4. Run it.
5. Go to Settings -> General -> Keyboard -> International Keyboards -> Japanese
6. Turn on “Emoji”
7. Exit

The emoji option won’t be visible until after the app is run.

8. delete the “Emoji Free” app. It’s done its job.

This will work with any other iphone (unlocked emoji or not), but doesn’t seem to work with other non-iphone phones in general.
