I'm not sure if you are aware of Japanese character which are similar to chinese language. Not, only there are tons of characters (kanji) they are also coming out with new characters everytime with different use depending on the combination of the characters.

Great idea, working in a phone shop alot of people ask for a flip phone and at the moment the there is no flip phone that can be sold on a contract, to offer this as an option to customers would be able to convert them from the traditional retro nokia

First for photos quality and sharpness. MP it's modern that enough!
And for future phone camera makers must OVERTAKE Nokia N8 quality.
So please do it!

Did you mean the phone network for sharp phones? I think you can unlock it through micro sim, but the media probably won't work since it's specifically made for the Japanese market.

the problem with sharp and other japanese phonemaker is their inability or refusal to market their products outside japan. they must act fast coz japanese market is getting smaller and the economy is in recession while samsung, lg and htc and also chinese phonemaker are growing at fast pace. soon we might see all japanese phonemaker close shop.

AnonD-9022, 21 May 2011Any info About RAM size and proc ?I suppose that it has 512 Mb of Ram. By the way this is for Japan only! You can bring many Sharp or Fujitsu phones, but the Wi-Fi will NOT work. It will work only in the Toronto area. The GPS will not work as well as I know right. The One Seg TV will not work too. :(

the japanese language is easier to input
and they don't require 3.5"+ screen for touch-qwerty
sharp makes phones for the isolated japanese market
their market is focused on Feature phones and years bak, were still way more advanced than ours, when everyone use to hav classic nokia's, and v3 razr's
until we began to shift to smart-phones
develop innovative software, produce more computer-like phones
but there a still some nostalgic touchscreen haters, who won't accept that our smartphones (iphone,android,galaxy etc.) are the future. They think that a phone should only serve its purpose to make calls, and occasionally email. They think everything else is a fad...
