Express Yourself: Emoji Icons for iPhone

You can add some really fun and expressive Japanese emoticons (emojicons) for chatting on your iPhone. Choose from all kinds emojicons from rockets and frogs to lipstick and aliens.

There are some drawbacks, you need a $.99 app, only other iPhone users will see them, and you have to do it before you update to firmware version 2.2.1

I guess this also might be an issue for those that are having problems keeping under the 200 message texting limit on the dataplan as well!

UPDATE: Apparently the app (FrostyPlace) that was used to do this was pulled by Apple and then forced to be reuploaded without access to the emojicons. But a new application has hit the scenes essentially does the same thing: Touch Dial Emoji but, it costs $3.99. Your emojicons will only be visible to other iPhone users.
