Sharp V801SH

In response to Phoenix81's question, Sharp claims that the phone utilizes what is referred to as USIM sim card technology (saying that it is incompatible with any other GSM network's SIM cards) and if my history of understanding Japan's desire to keep their domestic phones out of international users' hands, this is the epidomy. I've been using the Sharp J-SH53 in Tokyo (the predecessor of the V801SH) and I've loved it. It has all the bells and whistles (minus the Bluetooth and 2.x megapixel cam), but it does have the Music player, OpenWave browser, Java support and the barcode reader everyone keeps referring to. Trust me, I hardly ever used it. The idea came about when people would put web addresses in the Q-pic format and put it on websites or business cards (as it was intended) and avoid having to type stuff in (remember T9 doesnt exist for the most part in Japan), however I never really saw that catch on in Japan.
If anyone ever gets this phone unlocked and working on a U.S. GSM network, please let me know as I would be up for getting one! (Although my SH53 still does function nicely as a digital camera and SD-Audio player and a nifty remote controller for my TV and VCR.)
Looking forward to its release later this month...

This one has a bigger screen. V801SH has a 2'4 inch screen, and GX30 has a 2'2 inch screen. Picture quality is the same. There might be other things to that are diffrent other than screen size and the 3G band, but i cant think of it right now..

It's only for the Japanese market and probably doesn't have an English menu. It would be strange if it has an English menu thoug, since Sharp is releasing GX30 on Vodafone with almost identical features here in Europe.

3G phones dont necessary have to support video calling as seen by 3's range of phones. Some only support video msgs but is on the 3g network utilising its functions.
