Only in Japan: Sharp announces pink Hello Kitty Gingerbread clamshell
As if being the sole nation massively offering Android touchscreen clamshells wasn’t enough, a couple of months ago Japan upped the game with the ultimate Gingerbread flip phone named the Sharp AQUOS phone, aka The Hybrid 007SH where double zero seven probably stands for its Bond-ish wide scale of skills including an IPX5/IPX7 waterproof body, a 3.4” WVGA 3D New Mobile ASV display registering touch, the usual for Asian devices digital TV tuner and 720p video recording on a... 16.1-megapixel sensor.
Other Japan-only technological wonders that might surprise you include the Yahoo Phone, a handset obviously centered around the locally popular search engine, and a handful of 3D-enabled phones, but bottomline seems to be that the Far Eastern market seems much more... diverse. Would a clamshell Android be the kind of diversity you’d like to see stateside? Feel free to share your opinions in the comments below.
