@ Mark,
As I said before, if the phone is "white-listed" on your network (Vodafone, T-Mobile, Optus etc) it may work.
My 802SH did NOT even work on VODAFONE AUSTRALIA, and it was a Vodafone exclusive. I called customer support and they said that the network had not allowed the 802SH to access GPRS, ie. not been white-listed.
Now this will most likely be the case with the 904SH in Australia, but please do check with your local provider first.
One thing is for sure, do not think you will be able to use NAVI, CAST or FeliCA. These are Japan Exclusives and no other Vodafone network currently has support for them.
cheers,
Skater42

To skater42. I may not be in the right thread. I think you only need to adjust your mms and gprs settings because i myself can access wap and send and receive mms without any problems. And i'm not even a vodafone network subscriber. Maybe you can try double checking your settings.

@ Hristo
904SH will be available in late April in JAPAN ONLY. This means:
- Get a contract with Vodafone KK and use roaming
or
- Wait for some gray/black-market models on ebay.
cheers,

7 MEGAPIXELS
=============
Last time I checked out the SHARP web site they were talking about 7 Megapixels CCD Modules. Now, whether this was meant for "Digital Cameras" or Mobile Phones isn't quite clear, though I think it was talking about "Slimline" models, which could include mobiles.
As for SHARP, I think they would skip the 5-Megapixels and go straight to 7. Would make sense to me.
cheers,

MMS & stuff
============
Yes, on my JAP 903 I had the exact same settings as on my UK one. It would send the MMS but never get anywhere.
Even though the 904SH will be "illegaly" available overseas, no network has it "white-listed" and hence is most likely to block access to GPS, WAP, MMS etc.
So all those cool functions won't be usable.

Hey Skater, have you tried adjusting the settings for MMS? I had to adjust mine for it to work.

Don't really understand why people keep complaining about no external screen. I'm satasfied that there is no external screen on my 903sh. If there was, they may give up on the swirvel screen , then who the hell am I going to watch my videos on the phone? I'm glad they kept the swirvel on the 904. Am I going to get the 904? Although I'm tempted, its a tough call. 'Cause wat am I going to do with my 903sh?

Calming Down
=============
If people ask why this phone hasn't got an external screen when it does...well. It's not that, it's the fact that people don't read or take notice of anything that is written on here. I can explain myself 10 times and next is another one that just can't be bothered to read.
UNLOCKING / IMPORTING
=====================
The 903SH IS available in Europe, and hence has other firmware available. I'm hoping that there will be European Firmware for the 904SH, as it was for the "Japan Only" 802SH.
BUT...having said this:
The newer models are based on CID49 apparently, which is a bit difficult to crack at this stage.
Even if you do get the imported version (very possible), you won't be able to use most of its features (MMS, WAP, GPS etc.) because no network will support the phone.
And don't even think of being able to use FeliCA outside of Japan for now.
I had the awesome 802SH, nothing worked other than calling & SMS.
I had the JAP 903SH, and MMS didn't work. Neither did WAP or Vodafone live. The UK Version is fine though.
With FeliCA & NAVI I would assume that Vodafone has new measures of security. After all, FeliCA is the "Mobile Credit Card". You would want to make sure your details are safe.
I know that there will be gray-imports, and I'll look out for one. But you're really only buying it for the screen, camera & music player, because the rest simply won't work.
We won't officially see this baby outside of Japan until the rest of the Vodafone World get's FeliCA and NAVI.

by external screen u mean that small lcd thing on the front , if they can afford to put the most amazing screen available on a phone as the main surely they can put one on the front (external)? as for it only available in japan , there must be a way to import it , and somehow unlock after all at the beginning this was the case for the 903
only a few small design flaws ie : buttons etc part from that - no question this fone is the one to buy imagine facial recognition
- practically no one can be you so only u can get into ur own phone , and GPs is awesome no more getting lost on the road

EXTERNAL SCREEN
===============
What are you guys on about??? Just look at the pictures.
It does have an external screen, very small, but YES, it does.
YES: BARCODE SCANNER.
It pretty much has all the features of the 903SH, including an external screen.
And NO, it will not be released outside of Japan.
