It is the fist clamshell model running Android having a regual number key dial pad. Strangely enough, Sharp did not equip the phone with a QWERTY keypad. We are not very familiar with Japanese texting preferences but they might perfer having a virtual keyboard with full set of Japanese characters instead of the Latin alphabet on a hardware keys. Apart from the unusual clamshell form factor on an Android smartphone, AQUOS 007SH has an impressive 16.1 megapixel camera, 720p HD video recording. It is running on Android 2.3 Gingerbread. It also has a uncommon display size of 3.4 inch. While normal 3D recording is done using two lenses capturing two different images at the same time, Sharp AQUOS SoftBank 007SH can capture 3D images using one single lens. The phone are capturing images in a sequence and register and calculates the camera movement before merging two of those images into one 3D stereoscopic image. The 007SH is a though smartphone. It has earned a IPX5 and IPX7 IP code which means it is waterproof and can be put under one meter of water for 30 minutes. AQUOS 007SH highlights 140 gram 113 x 51.8 x 19.3 mm 3.4 inch touch display, 480 x 854 pixel resolution.

We are not very familiar with Japanese texting preferences but they might perfer having a virtual keyboard with full set of Japanese characters instead of the Latin alphabet on a hardware keys. If you look carefully above the ABC,DEF, GHI etc on the keypad there are Hiragana kana above. Input in Japanese is very simple and quick. No need for a virtual keyboard.

Hopefully it has a virtual keyboard as well in full touch mode. 3D display seems kinds pointless though. Does it have a 3.5mm jack?
