We have seen some pretty impressive Sharp handsets adorn NTT DoCoMo’s lineup and the SH706iw continues the tradition with some features that should sound droolworthy elsewhere in the world too. This slider has an expansive 3-inch VGA 480×854-pixel display and a touchpad for smoother interaction. You will also find Dolby Mobile sound system to complement that big, beautiful touchscreen with other usual goodies like 1Seg TV tuner and microSD/SDHC support, but the camera comes as a disappointment with only a 2-megapixel lens, while the previous model had climbed up to 3.2 megapixels. Being 3G capable, the SH706iw can handle 3G calls for 195 minutess, video calls for up to 105 minutes with a standby time of 490 hours.

The lucky Japanese won’t have to wait long as the Sharp SH706iw will be available from NTT DoCoMo starting September 1 at a price that hasn’t been revealed yet.

We’ve seen quite a few phone combos this days. We have seen the award winning Asus Lamborghini, we have looked at Motorola Ferrari, so it’s time we checked out a Sharp Cinderella phone too. It appears that Walt Disney and Sharp agreed to manufacture such a phone. But for whatever reason this collection handset will be available from Softbank in Japan only.

Computers these days are getting smaller and smaller. At this age and with todays technology, all these innovations are now possible. Computer are popping out everywhere in small sizes while  maintaining many of its robust features and a little something more. Sharp has joined the market with its Sharp WS016SH, otherwise known as the Willcom D4.

It’s one of the first UMPCs to have an Intel Atom running at its core with 1.33GHz speed. Other specs include a 1GB RAM, 40GB HDD, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Windows Vista. All of these are housed in an ultra-compact 84×188×25.9mm body that weighs only 470g. It makes use of a 5-inch 1024×600 touch screen and has a slide out full QWERTY keypad for text input.

With features like these, I would definitely pony up some to get my hands on the Sharp DM002SH, but it’s only the Japanese children who will be lucky this time. Headed for Softbank, the DM002SH clamshell has the “Disney” tag attached to it, but I find no trace of anything cartoonish about this cell phone. Even the diamond-patterned outer shell looks more endearing to a teenager than a kid still watching Disney classics. If you think this just oozes style with no substance, you are wrong. The Disney phone is a 3G-ready device with HSDPA support and rocks two displays, a 2.6 inch internal WVGA with a 0.5-inch OLED display on the outside. There’s a 2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, infrared, a microSD slot, and 50MB of built-in memory. Mobile TV has become the norm in almost all of the recently released cell phones in Japan and the DM002SH is no exception.

The Sharp DM002SH will be available in June on Japan’s Softbank carrier and if you have promised your kid to get him/her one, you better have a large enough wallet, at least for Disney’s sake!

In the mobile world the smaller and the faster the better right?

FCC has given approval to Sharp Japan’s PV210 GSM mobile phone. This one is a Sidekick model. As per the test reports, Jabra’s Bluetooth headset will be compatible with the Sharp PV210 cell phone. Also, a little disappointing, it is without 3G connectivity. I think they have kept it highly confidential. There are no pics on FCC!!! Only the label information is provided. Check it out after the break:

Check out the new SoftBank 813SH 3G phone by Sharp. This phone does not sport a camera - and is primarily intended for use in locations where cameraphones are banned due to security restrictions. You don’t want anyone with a camera snooping around in your Government’s secret service agency, would you?

The SoftBank 813SH features dual display, and the outer display can display up to 3 lines of new incoming email - quite a nice feature. The 3G phone also features a full fledged browser and can open PDF files. Other goodies include a QVGA LCD display, support for microSD memory card, address book backup facility and bi-lingual in Japanese and English.

The phone is available in Matte Black and Pearl White, weighing in at 104 grams.

Sharp Corporation of Japan decided to branch out after its disappointing sales performance as it faced difficulties in trying to compete with low-priced Nokia phones. Sharp, however, decided to take a different approach and target the high-end market, plunging into growing economies such as China. Sharp will now be the only Japanese firm selling handsets in Korea since fellow Japanese company, Kyocera, withdrew from the market. The start of sales is projected to be on June, 2008, before the Beijing Olympics begin.

Just taking a look at this phone tells me where it’s from. Judging by the box-ish clamshell look it shares with just about every other phone in the land, I’d know the new Sharp FOMA SH705iII Cell Phone is for Japan. The new Sharp FOMA SH705iII has a 2.8-inch Sharp FOMA SH705iII 400 x 240 resolution TFT screen, a 3.2 megapixel camera, a 0.8-inch 96 x 39 resolution monochromatic OLED display, a microSD card slot, and 1-Seg TV tuner. Based on what I see, the Sharp FOMA SH705iII phone which will be an exclusive DoCoMo device, looks better than a lot of its contemporaries. Still, I wish a Japanese phone would break tradition and have an entirely different design.

Just like millions of people around the globe are clamoring for the iPhone, the Japanese too, want their share of the iPhone pie. Hence, Softbank introduced the new Softbank Fullface 2 aka 921SH to fill the void of the popular handset in the Japanese market. Of course, it’s still different from the Jesus phone. The SoftBank 921SH features a keyboard which slides behind the 3.2-inch VGA LCD. That LCD isn’t a touch screen like the iPhone’s either, although the SoftBank 921SH has a motion sensor at the bottom. This device, manufactured by Sharp, has a 3.2 megepixel camera, music player, Bluetooth connectivity, 1-Seg TV tuner, and high-speed 3G. It will be available in black, white, bright blue, gold, and pink by early March of 2008.

And yet another mobile phone to be released by Softbank in the Japanese market is the Sharp 922SH mobile handset. The Sharp 922SH features a 3.5-inch VGA LCD using Sharp’s Aquos technology. It has a full QWERTY keyboard, high-speed 3G connection, Bluetooth connectivity, and multimedia player among others. The Sharp 922SH measures 56×116x17mm, and weighs about 32 grams. Aside from the main 3.5-inch LCD, it also features a 1.18-inch sub-LCD at the front. The Sharp 922SH will be available in gold bronze, metallic black, pearl white, and pearl pink on late March 2008.

NTT DoCoMo, which already procured the waterproof phone and the double-screened D800iDS, is expanding its arsenal with a new line of phones for this year. Among these, one that caught our eye is the Sharp AQUOS SH905iTV, a clamshell supporting Japan’s 1seg digital broadcasting service.

At just 18.9 mm thick, the AQUOS SH905iTV boasts of a high-definition mobile TV experience with a high-quality Wide VGA picture contrasted at a ratio of 2000:1 using the SV engine and a high-performance 3.2-inch ASV-LCD display with a wide viewing angle. On the audio side, the SH905iTV is one of the first few cell phones in the world to make use of the new Dolby Mobile technology from Dolby Laboratories to deliver realistic sound quality. The phone supports NTT DoCoMo’s Music, SD Audio, Music Channel, i-Motion, and Internet Movie Player services along with 1seg TV with also FM radio thrown in. There is also Sharp’s unique Touch Cruiser, an interface not unlike touchpads found on notebooks.

The AQUOS SH905iTV will be available on Japan’s NTT DoCoMo starting on January 24, 2008.

Back in August 2007, we had reported on the rumors circulations about Sharp’s Sidekick 4. In CES earlier this month, Sharp has unveiled the new PDA: Sharp PV250 with swiveling LCD, or the Sidekick 4 (also called Shuriken). The swiveling LCD feature makes the PDA quite versatile, allowing you to view the screen in different angles. The QWERTY keyboard is 18mm thick, it has a slot for microSD cards and it sports a 1.3-megapixel camera. These are the only specs known as of late. No release date or price yet.

How did we miss this? Recently at IFA 2007 a Sharp mobile phone was displayed and it looks so much like the famous Sidekicks. In fact, I’m betting it is the much anticipated Sidekick 4! Well, here’s a picture of the phone. Until Sharp officially reveals it, we leave the decision on whether it is the Sidekick 4 or not to the readers.
