    Excellent.
    I was a Philips user for Mobile and later because no more in Europe a Sony/Ericsson and Sony user. Because only this Japanese company in Europe for Mobile.
    If Sharp back in Europe it will be a great alternative for change !
    Come on Sharp !

            Good news. Basically the more (tougher) competition the much better.

                Also it is available only in the US and i live in Europe.
                The only advantage the essential phone has is better processor.

                    Kobresia, 01 Sep 2017Sharp is my second choice after Xperia. Same here! I have an Xperia and was thinking that the only other brand i would buy phones from is Sharp. I saw the concept photo for the S3 and I'm sold. Now i have to wait till next year or buy the S2.

                          "here comes a new challenger!"

                            I had a few great Sharp phones (still keep one with an incredible (for the time!) 3MP camera), they used to be an exclusive to Vodafone here in Portugal, I couldn't stand that everybody used Nokia's!

                              I once had a Sharp phone more than 10 years ago. when phone screen started to switch from monochrome to colour screens. I remember how good it was at the time. Then they just disappeared from making mobile phones

                                Another interesting player, expecting a lot, hope they come with more than just phones.

                                  This is good news, and I will be even more happy, if Japan build Sharp phones would also be launched in Europe. I know that Foxconn has bought Sharp, but they doesn't own the whole company. I would like to see made in Japan Sharp devices in Europe, but I doubt this will happen. Most probably we will see Foxconn made Sharp devices, which ofcourse could be good too.

                                    If Sharp enters globally, then bezellessness game will be over for the other players. :-P

                                        I wish they did this 10 years early, when they were ages ahead of their competition.
