Sharp FX Plus for AT&T appears to move up to the big leagues with Android on board
Continuing to show off how smartphones are permeating into every category out there, we’re now finding many past feature phones jumping ship and moving into the smartphone club. And rightfully so, that’s exactly what we’re seeing with the Sharp FX from last year as it’s making the choice to side with Android this time around.
After a photo of the Sharp FX Plus was uncovered from a Walmart ad recently, we're now presented with official rendered images of the upcoming handset, which flaunts the AT&T branding very prominently below its 3.2” touchscreen. Sharing the same landscape style QWERTY form factor as the original Sharp FX, it now makes the jump with Android 2.2 Froyo instead – making it somewhat more usable than before.

Even though there is no date or price point attached with the handset just yet, we’d surmise this one to fall very close to the entry level segment of AT&T’s lineup – especially when it features a 600MHz processor with 512MB of RAM.
