Vodafone K.K. announced that starting in April, it will be shipping the Sharp V801SH. It's a new 3G handset made specially for the Vodafone network. It's aimed for use both in Japan and abroad. To accomplish roaming, the V801SH plays for both teams--both 3G and GSM. Here's a quick wrap up of the features.
* Dual band 3G / GSM
* Integrated megapixel resolution digital camera
* SD memory card slot (16MB card included)
* Compatible with Vodafone live!
* CD-quality ringtones
This phone will be sold only from Vodafone K.K. (Japan). However, since it's dual-band, you will be able to travel to other markets without needing another phone. We'll post more info when it ships in a few months. To view a larger image of the phone, please click on the thumbnail.
