Well, apart from the glamourous casing and massive screen resolution, this phone is pretty much just that Pretty. To be honest, if you really want a pretty phone guaranteed to work in your area and have better customisation options (e.g themes, backgrounds,music players) i suggest you go for the latest smart phones. Japan are notorious for leaking out their technology yet restricting them so much that you only ever get a taste of the tip and then your left sulking over the sour parts of the supposed to be sweet victory. Sadly to say, this phone is actually really not that "high tech". The battery life fails after 30 mins of video, and although you have a 5mp camera, after 50 pictures or so you'll end up running around mad trying to find a charger. Apparently usage of phones outside japan just don't compete well with the battery life. The 3G function only works with the Taiwan version WX-T923, the China version 9020SH only has 2G support. WAP capable yet some web pages may not be compatible in certain areas (i.e New Zealand Vodafone Live!) the only "fun" thing about this phone is that you are able to literally "block" peeping toms from spying on yuor screen at a 45 degree angle if you turn on what the Japanese call "viel". and also the accelerometre doubles as a compas, or so we've seen on the iphone. But its pretty much all this gorgeous phone ever does. Call time is a ridiculous 4 hours only on Full charge and although standby time does last a day or two, normal usage would just limit you to having to plug this phone into the wall every night, not a habit you would want to get used to. So what i'm trying to point out is that this phone is only for eyecandy, or as chinese people say it, a VASE. Just an ornament with no use whatsoever.

Amazing phone...
I got my WX-T923 about a month ago and must say that it is HOT! It's not the best in market, but whatever it does do, it does well!
Great camera, massive HD screen, good music player and the BEST video camera I've ever seen! Full D1 video at superb 2/Mbps quality!
Fast internet, good reception and call quality, easy to hook up via bluetooth!
Got Google Maps installed, but can't seem to use it with MyLocation which is a shame. GPS is also missing which I find a major disadvantage, so MyLocation really needs to work!
YouTube is also OK on here, but the screen is too big almost (for the low quality mobile youtube videos...).
Facebook is great, you have to increase the zoom though to be able to read everything... again, screen is VERY high-res!
Battery-life is AWESOME! At near full brightness, using facebook, using the camera and being on the phone for 30-60 minutes the battery is still at 2-3 out of 3 bars in the evening!
If you keep it on standby the phone will last for nearly 4 days!
Motion control and optical touch pad are nice, though a touch screen would have easily replaced the two.
The design of course is sleek and professional, and the swivel-screen has amazed a bunch of people!
I give it a 8/10!

If you got your phone which is from Japan, chances are you need a Hybersim together with a Sim Card to work. There are three models with the same design,
1)SH9020C - CHINA, No 3G Network, No Hybersim Required
2)WX-T923, Taiwan, 3G Network, No Hybersim Required
3)923SH, Japan, 3G (HSDPA 2100), Hybersim Required
All models work with GSM 2G unless indicated.
Hope the above will be useful to you.

Anonymous, 22 Aug 2009The WX-T923 (Taiwan) version does support MP3 up to 192kbps... moretw model is way better than ebay/US/europe models. due to u can just insert your sim and it will work out of the box with everything unlocked and great reception. if you buy other edition, u have to use hypersim to unlock, u will have 1 out of 4 bars on ur reception all the time and hang up on calls 50% of the time.

Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970If you want the 2G version, eBay is your friend. For the 3G version, only eBay.com offers one more EXPENSIVE model. I bought mine for US700, and that was nearly the last one!

Mobilemaster, 04 Aug 2009Don't worry, they will enter in America too, now they enter... moreTo be honest, SHARP had never really "left" the western market as such. T-Mobile and Telstra (and others) still ordered the Sidekick models, and the new LX 2009 proves that they are still hot.
But yeah, I understand that we would like something a bit less "niche".
