So it appears the rumour that  will not be making any more handsets for NTTDocomo could well be true. I see no sign of the SO-01a (SO907i) in the line up.

W64S by Sony Ericsson | Part of the AU by KDDI Winter Collection
I will keep you updated should this phone be the first AU by KDDI phone to be unlocked and usable internationally (it does have GSM and CDMA).

This one looks interesting..
Sharp have announced the Aquos Fulltouch 931SH slider, which sports a wild 1024 x 480 3.8-inch touchscreen.

In case you haven't already known, Softbank has already announced their Winter Collection. Touch is their main theme this time. Despite the 931SH, I'm very disappointed of their phones. And since touch is the main theme, I'm pissed off that the Sharp 930SH isn't touch!
Sharp AQUOS FULLTouch 931SH
- 5.2 AF MP CMOS Camera w/ LED Flash
- 3.8" AQUOS XGA (1024 x 480) Screen
- Bluetooth
- GPS
- 4 Colours: White, Black, Pink, Bronze
The most impressive phone of the Winter Collection from Softbank. Amazing screen... reaching 1024 x 480 in a 3.8" screen is amazing.
Sharp AQUOS 930SH
- 8.0 AF MP CCD ProPix Camera w/ LED Flash
- 3.0" WVGA (854 x 480) Screen
- Bluetooth
- GPS
- 5 Colours: White, Black, Pink, Blue, Purple
Incredibly disappointed. The only thing that gravitates me to this phone is the camera. We don't have the cycloid rotation display like the 923SH and it definetly doesn't look sexy
HTC Touch Diamond X04HT & Touch Pro X05HT
Samsung OMINA 930SC
- 5.1 AF MP Camera w/ LED Flash
- 3.3" VGA (800 x 480) Screen
- 8GB + MicroSDHC Slot
- Does not use Windows Mobile
- 3 Colours: Red, Black, White
Casio 830CA
- 5.2 AF MP Camera
- 2 Colours: White, Gray
Toshiba FanFun 830T
- 2.8" QVGA Screen
- Bluetooth
Toshiba FanFun Petit 831T
Panasonic 830P
- GPS
- Bluetooth
Panasonic just lost it now... they repeat the same designs for DoCoMo, and now they come up with horrid last minute looks for Softbank... SIGH
Nokia N82 & E71
Samsung 730SC
Sigh... I guess DoCoMo's got the entire spotlight this time.

I just realized I forgot to upload the Sharp phones from NTT DoCoMo. Again, DoCoMo's winter collection will be officially presented on Nov 3.
SH-01A
- 8.1 AF MP CCD ProPix Camera with LED Flash
- Cycloid Style: Screen Rotation
- Twist Style: Twist Screen
- 3.3" AQUOS 854 x 480 Touchscreen Mobile ASV
- Touch Cruiser: Touchpad (like ones on laptops) with built in Finger Print Scanner
- Exterior OLED Screen
- Next Generation DoCoMo Software/Widgets
- IR Simple for connection with Sharp devices i.e. Sharp AQUOS TV, Sharp DVD Player, etc.
- Bluetooth
- Comes in Pink, Blue, White, & Black
This is pretty much my favorite phone of all the Winter Collection for DoCoMo. Great looks, great features: it's the combination of the best from EVERY sharp phone PLUS new innovations.
SH-02A
- Exterior "color" Screen
- 5.2 MP AF Camera
- 3" VGA AQUOS Mobile ASV Screen
- GPS
- IR Simple for connection with Sharp devices i.e. Sharp AQUOS TV, Sharp DVD Player, etc.
- Dolby Mobile
SH-03A
- True successor to the last SH906i
- I believe it's a 8.0 MP AF CCD ProPix Camera, same on the 930SH from Softbank & SH-01A (above)
- 0.8" OLED Exterior Screen
- Touchscreen AQUOS Mobile ASV (3-3.3" not sure XD)
Mind you, I don't mind the SH-03A too =D
SH-04A
- QWERTY
- Camera w/ AF
- 3.5" AQUOS Screen Mobile ASV
Not much is known unfortunately, other than the fact that it's a "Pro" phone
I will upload Fujitsu & LG tomorrow before the announcement. LG's phone is surprisingly not bad, though design wise, it shares similar designs with the Secret. |

oh my god, i hope these are still unlockable, would love to save up for the SH-03A. Hate that the new Softbank phones can't be unlocked like Docomo's phones. |

DoCoMo phones could not be unlocked too, I mean with software, not with whatever-SIM. |

Softbank phones can't be unlocked... YET. It usually takes longer with Softbank, but I can tell you it will take a while for DoCoMo too because they just upgraded the MOAP Operating System - not going to be as fast as 905i to 906i, and sure won't be as easy... |

Softbank phones can be unlocked... SOME (not all). It just takes longer. With DoCoMo phones, they immediately worked with hypersim, but it's a much more complicated process with Softbank phones. They usually need to develop a different verison of hypersims to unlock softbank ones. I have a feeling it would be much harder to unlock DoCoMo phones this time along...
DoCoMo is going to be suffering slightly in terms of profit this year. You can see they aggressively expanded their portfolio, but many of their phones are like repeats in different bodies and variations (sounds like Sony Ericsson no?). Now that Japan has an actual contract system, they are going to take a huge hit. Au by KDDI and Softbank scaled back on this announcement, only releasing a few phones, each with different target markets. If you look just at DoCoMo's Sharp selection: SH-01A and SH-03A almost have NO DIFFERENCE other than the cycloid display on the SH-01A. Stupid stupid stupid...
We are going to see a lot more touchscreens developed into Japanese phones. This is what they sort of "lacked" before... of course the iPhone with some influence. DoCoMo has said they would only push for a few touchscreen phones - not anymore as you can see.
Looks like the DoCoMo announcement didn't occur today... I guess we'll see it soon? |
