Brief introduction of the Sharp 902sh / 903sh

=========================================

The 902sh / 903sh is brought in by various people and ways from Japan, Europe, Hong Kong and Taiwan. It must be unlocked in order to use in other countries.

However, it got discontinued in year 2006 and the only way to get it is to find second hand sets. It can't be bought from handphone shops like those in Lowyat so you might as well try your luck in Garage Sales or Lelong.com.

here's a pic of our sexy Sharp 902sh and Sharp 903sh:

Added on March 17, 2008, 11:37 amjust requote my question back to vodafone...

when that hypersim available, better inform... i have itch for jap phone for long long time...

<seaedge> lol! me too!!! was so excited tat i'll be gettin tis phone tat i even dreamt of holdin it!!! now its in my hands hurhurhur~~

what phone using now?
i am thinking of SO905iCS... but in the same time... wanna play with oldskool 903SH... that is my 1st jap dream phone...

p905i...i used to long for a phone from softbank...bt since it cant be unlocked..so i gave up on it..was about to opt for an SE if i really cant get wat i want ady

phew, finally done with the updating.

will update more technical details on some popular models (for eg. what can & what cannot) when i am free (need to do some research, too)

p905i? i tot they unlock it by using bypass rite? but this phone doesnt worth it if you cant use its true potential except call making and msging...

that SO905iCS is under Sony Ericsson trademark, right?
the look is somehow bulky, isn't, i wonder how does it feel like in real set

p/s: pink SO905iCS is simply awesome

<seaedge> yeah...maybe for the moment only

<panasonic88> tat phone made me drool too~~ bt the price made me cry *TT__TT

I think you misclick the link for SO905i? The 5MP one is the newest SO905iCS model (CS = CyberShot).


Keep up the good job!




(For DoCoMo models..)
Using bypass, except 3G call incoming call, WAP/MMS related functions, all others are usable like Camera, Media Player, 2G calling in/out, SMS...

Stability for network functions is subjective to condition like area, bypass SIM type, network provider...

i would like to buy 920sh... yummy...
have to save more money for that...

I'm waiting for 920sh price to drop really low b/c no more demand for it

plus it would be a nice fashion phone to use

hai! wa ka ri mas ta

ohyah, besides the above restrictions written by vodafone,
TV playback (the antenna on the phone) & GPS are restricted to be used in JP only

of the softbank phones that are new, this is just so cool
