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:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nd-SLaHqKW4

yup, that is Ridge Racer. exactly like the one in PSP

dim sum dim sum
anyway, going out for my morning tea
see you all later

how expensive is the 920 SH???

in sg....the price would be around sgd400+ to sgd500+....it shoot up again the price...there was a time when it was around sgd300+

quite hard and bore to play, but quite interesting with the motion sensor...
prefer another 2 brick games inp905i , more fun hehe

the price is without the media card?

oh yah man, we all are waiting for your banana D905i pictures~!!

yup...920sh is not very "hot" here in sg already...not really sure why though...everybody is into docomo nowadays

reporting in for V8
sleep for 8hours just woke up not long ago

@bro vodafone
any news from benny ragarding the new softbank card which still on hold

how bout F905i? wats the price there?

wah...so fast version 8 already?
anyone wanna sell their old J phone real cheap please pm me

btw- is it worth it to get a jphone from japan since my family is going there this month for holiday?

This post has been edited by carpathia: May 11 2008, 10:22 AM

most of them price is around sgd700 plus...depending on seller....this is without bundle with hypersim

our J-Phone ambassador Panasonic88 is selling off her 903SH u can find her.

V8 already??

So fast..

oh..okie dokie..

bro voda..in the next 4-6 months, the q sim will still be available? coz currently unemployed, no money. so when have the money,wana buy 1 for my coming F905i(also in the coming months - hopefully ) .. hohoho..

This post has been edited by Yosha: May 11 2008, 11:09 AM

as for the f905i...it is very stylish...though most ppl go for the blue....i would recommend black...it has a very "Gaya,Mutu,Keunggulan," feel to it

wow~~ Gaya Mutu dan Keungglan but me i would prefer white F905i ada "Gaya, Mutu dan Kesucian"

can somebody tell me why 920SH is a LOT cheaper than the F905i??? Izzit bcause of the takuya kimura endorsement?

F905i got finger print scan nice design + light elumination + turn screen left n right

This post has been edited by MorningBoyz: May 11 2008, 11:23 AM

owh.... but the 920SH has its multimedia unlocked right???

poison time!!!....my yellow d905i with sh905i....too bad do not own a dslr...taken with fren digicam.

OMG

BANANA YELLOW D905i

This post has been edited by MorningBoyz: May 11 2008, 12:05 PM

920sh price...probably going to go up, I traded a 904sh and a 705sh for a 920sh. About an equal trade, 904sh I got really cheap from japan and 705sh also cheap too.

with slide open



closeup of big screen



normal menu



basic menu



speed menu

how is the motion sensor on the d905i? like the youtube videos

camera menu....so many option to select



no idea what does this option do...any shutterbugs expert here can explain?



filesize selection on the camera....a lot of choice



camera icons



the led on the jog dial



this software is known as photo translation...i basically translate chinese,english and korean word to japanese....can even translate 3 to 4 line of words



picture of the d905i musicplayer



u can even change the colour scheme of the phone.



a sample picture taken by the d905i...default setting

carpanthia, i am selling my Vodafone 903SH (check my siggy)
no hypersim required, can use directly with our normal sim card
works well with all operators
most importantly is, it is still the BEST CAMERA PHONE in town


tap on left and right side - to read sms or to jump to next song
tap the center twice - to wake up the docomo creature, to talk with you (kawaii~~)

aiseh man, are they all your GFs?

if only they were

oh ya, i got a good news for myself, heheheh!!!

this morning nothing to do, so decided to go kaciao the maxis TTDI staff once again

and guess what! i managed to get the L shape Maxis 3G USIM



/panasonic88 is one step closer to her dream phone, stay tune

for the motion sensor....it is use extensively on the mp3 player...can change track forward or backward by swinging the phone to the left or right...sms can be check by tapping the right top corner of the screen....can only be done when the "receiving sms" screen is shown...after that can't be tap as it will dock to the screen bottom after a certain period. motion control can be use when browsing or reading a pdf or document file....to switch to horizontal or vertical view....after a few days using the phone it seems that the motion control has a mechanism to prevent accidental activation.

did you try tapping on the screen twice to call-up the docomo mascott (or whatever they call it, hehe)?

there are 3 type of animation, the docomo mushroom, a wheel, and a xxx (forgotten what is that edy)

i guess you are gonna need a strap to use motion so you dont throw the phone

lol so exaggerating

japanese are very gentle one, so does their innovation, you just gently shake your screen, it will do the trick already~!

aisey. if ur 903sh there is black or white, i straight buy from u edi.

yo taikor, you bought a iPhone recently huh?

lol, i was worrying when i was playing fishing on my 904sh b/c of its motion sensor

btw pana need to update, using 920sh instead of 904sh hehe,

ahh done

yeap. but still yet to have the pleasure to own a jap phone. xD

u mean the machi-chara....the 3 little mascot....my set does not have it...fren said could be newer batch don't have....have to download or make one using software downloadable at docomo website

hi sis, you using maxis postpaid right?

hate u!!!!

reporting in!!
happy mothers day!!!!
wish all of the exotic J-phone discussion member can pay more attention to their own mother and father than J-phone...

Pana jie,

can add me as exotic phone user ar?

am using a lao-yar 804sh tho....

FIRST.... I was POISONED by the F905i....
THEN came the 920SH...
AFTER THAT... AH!!! D905 so

poison too deep... must... stop... temptation... confuse!!!

hahahahaha....
u r sick also...

must take some panadol....can cure sickness

WOAH!!! nice d905i there ilikehandphones, thats a very unique color...makes the j-phone even more japanesey

aww that's sad
downloadable? you mean download at docomo website and transfer to phone via USB etc? can that work?


yup, why ya?

by the way, shinichi, why dont you try out maxis / celcom on your P905i?
dun waste it by putting it at home or become weekend phone only
it worth to invest on another workable and stable sim, in my opinion


added~!

should be something like that....i think u can create your own also...machi-chara doesn't interest me much....by the way...do u know any software to convert wallpaper to size of 480X864?

use photoshop to resize mah okay lor

omg....flowing fast after turn to V8
omg omg omg
spam more...spam spam spam

ohyah anyway, tonight i might be meeting up with ericsson once again to test out my sim card on docomo phone

most probably will do it at SS2, anybody wanna come? time should be around 9PM.

me don't have photoshop wor....sg hard to find "ahem" one...any freeware one?

Hmmm im now using hotlink on my p905i. So far never CPR before. Only that it occasionally auto shut down.

Anyway since hotlink is my backup line so I only bring 2 phones out during weekend.

hope it goes well for you . heres a tip if you get the UIM error msg at phone startup, try to disable your sim card's pin code request on another phone, cos i noticed that my p905i keep getting UIM error when i turn on pin code request...i have to put my sim card in another phone to disable pin request then only put back in p905i then can detect. ericsson already knows about this (but just in case he forgets it, you can tell him about it again ) and maybe/hopefully L-shaped sim don't have this problem

This post has been edited by xshane: May 11 2008, 06:07 PM

ah thanks for the tips, in fact i have just disabled the PIN code request.

nicesm, but maybe you should just try it with pin code request on first try to see the capabilities of the L shape sim, there might be a difference.

tonite wan to join us? poison me with your P905i mah (even tho i have decided what to get)

hey dude how's ur 804sh on bb's?

hey bro how's my phone status

lol thanks for invite but i'll have to take a rain check on that since today mother's day, so going out with family to dinner no point in poisoning you already also since you getting your phone soon haha

Added on May 11, 2008, 9:30 pmwhen the time u get ur phone, i organise a gathering special for you

This post has been edited by mike86: May 11 2008, 09:30 PM

wah!! gathering specially for me fuiyoh.....later no ppl show up 1 haha

haha, dun worry about that, still got me...least

will go down to kl if got extra cash....can meet u guys and poison on the spot

come poison me with your D905i

come come poison me too

no prob....wait 4 ur guys confirmation date

wow you guys seriously want a gathering ka?

i did another docomo sim card testing with vodafone just now, still no luck in detecting my sim card. ahhhh i guess it really needs a lot of patient and testing

i might settle down with a normal phone in the mean time, probably take a SE P1i, hehe, wanna try touch screen + UIQ 3 interface, rich features with attractive price tag.

for a moment I thought you're refering to the picture taken and hanged on your laptop wall paper. Seriously the interface really puts ours into shame. My guess the lack of softwares of theme requires you to obtain it from Imode.

No wonder la. Suppose to meet him tonight to get my cable. hahaha, but ladies 1st la, after you. Btw pana, can you pull back the previous post made by badegg on the configuration for calcium 3gp converter? or brother vodafone is kind enough to provide a full review on the whole conversion. I'm totally lost.

p.s flicker means if you're capturing photos under fluorescent lights or crt tvs where they flicker to make images move at certain hertz'

btw anyone know how to plug in the flash?
