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 56x116x17mm, 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.

If these rumors spread around is correct, then the Sidekick 4 will have a wide screen that fills out the entire middle section of the device. It would probably still have the same set (and face) of buttons as the Sidekick 3. It would also feature a 1.3 megapixel camera and a MicroSD slot.

Aside from that, early reports indicated that the Sidekick 4 has been assigned the model number "PV250," way above the Sidekick 3's "PV200," which means that the Shuriken will be the next generation Sidekick that everyone should get excited about.

Sidekick addicts - here's another great Limited Edition model that you'll want to get your hands on fast - the D-Wade Limited Edition Sidekick 3. This beauty has all of the features of the standard Sidekick 3, with some special gold and white styling in honor of NBA star Dwayne Wade.

Dwayne is apparently a huge Sidekick fan, and now T-Mobile has teamed up with him to design a Limited Edition model Sidekick 3 in his honor. It features a realistic basketball-textured backing for added comfort and grip, Wade's signature "#3", and a outline of the star.

The 2006 NBA Finals MVP was very much involved in the design process, and much of his inspiration is seen manifested in the limited edition model. From the luxurious feel of high-end cars, to the white sandy beaches of South Beach, to the bronzed bodies in the sun - his life influence is seen in this phone.

It looks like the folks at Danger and Sharp have been busy working on their next Hiptop mobile device, which you also might know under the proprietary name the "T-Mobile Sidekick". Based upon the FCC filings, it doesn't look like this is an upgrades Sidekick 4, but rather a slimmed down version with less features. It is rumored to be a device like the Hiptop/Sidekick 2 and some, but not all, of the features of the Hiptop/Sidekick 3. With the confidentiality agreement in place until April, we might not find out the carrier and other details for a little while yet. All we know right now is that Sharp is making it. It has been rumored in recent months that Danger may take its cool and easy-to-use operating system to not only other carriers, but possibly also other phone manufacturers.

The FCC recently approved the Sharp SPH-M620 mobile phone for Sprint, which looks too be Samsung Ultra Music phone for CDMA networks.
The diagrams included with the FCC filing look nearly identical to that of the Ultra Music.

The Samsung Ultra Music phone for GSM networks that was recently announced has a number of enticing features, including: FM radio, 2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, microSD card slot, and 100MB of internal memory. The SPH-M620 is likely to have slightly different specs. Until an annoucement or prototype is revealed, you can oogle over the drawings.
