Another Japanese SIM unlocked phone came to me on the same day. The SH905i and SO905iCS queuing up for the photo shooting. They are very different. The Sharp SH905i is shiny and thin with a 3.2 mega pixel camera. As all the other Sharp phones, the screen is always large and crystal “sharp”.

The box is big…. but there is nothing. Just a Phone and a battery plus a thick manual full of Japanese content. So we decided we need to get an after market charger and data cable for our customers. Super Value Deal!


I have got the black and the pink for this photo shooting. But I can only choose one for a closer look… mmm.. since everyone got the black anyway, then I will do the pink.


Another image for the two colours. The phone is long because of the long screen requirement in Japan.


3.2 mega pixel camera but no flash.


Same as other Japanese phones, the keyboard quality and sensitivity are both very good. The built quality of this Sharp phone is excellent as well. Everything fits well and solid.


A unique feature of SH905i is the Touch Cruiser navigation pad. It is almost like the touch mouse pad of the notebook computers. You can use your finger to move and navigate the phone interface. It is quite fun to use.


On the lower bottom side, there we have a MicroSD slot.


You can actually turn the screen and make the display side up for the phone.


Camera shutter on the other side of the phone. Since I cannot test the TV feature, not sure how the TV thing means.


The phone is shiny and flashy.


Crystal sharp large screen.


English phone menu.


There is an antenna for TV use (I believe).


OK it is the last shot showing the back of the phone.


Although I love the super bulky SO905iCS more, but this shiny flashy thin Sharp phone is definitely beautiful as well. I am always wondering why the Japanese phones are not selling worldwide. I mean, why won’t they release some phones for worldwide? They can storm the market like they did in the consumer electronics world.

The Camera is a 3.2 mega pixel. It works ok and average. Definitely not as good as the Sony SO905iCS, which is a Cyber Shot 5 mega pixel, auto focus, Anti-hand shake, smile shutter, with Photo Flash one but super thick one.

This phone is a Triband phone, so for normal calling and SMS, it will be alright to use in Europe. However, for the HSDPA 3G for all these Japanese unlocked phones, it will be a little bit tricky. Althought this one supports 2100MHz 3G, but the internet related features may not work.

There are two super threads in Howardforums/Sharp discussing all these Japanese phone cans and cannots. You may find more specific answers from there.

Something to do with selling inferior products to inferior people? "Pearls before swine"?

At least the pics are nice and I don't see a big list of ridiculously low prices and a mailing address out of Nigeria.
I don't want a signature anymore.
