Where to purchase a 903sh?

Hey, I've been lurking around hofo for awhile

but i'm relatively new around this place. I've been looking around everywhere to buy myself a new 903sh! Then i found out these awesome phones have been discontinued

Is there a certain website aside from ebay i can buy one from?

And also, I can't really distinguish diferent models of the 903. the 903sh sx833 is the japanese version correct? and the UK version is simply labeled 903? and the Hong Kong version is the sx 813 i believe? correct me if i'm wrong please! and i'm still hard at work trying to find a 903sh here on hofo. and also!

I'm Sam, which is my American name, I move here a year ago from . i hope my english is not too bad.

Sam is such an american name

heres the quick facts

903SH - JP
WXT91 - Taiwan
SX833 - Hong Kong
903 - Euro

a new 903sh, yesasia, or if you want a brand new t91, ebay

more likely ull get a used one, check BST or try your luck on ebay, Good luck

Posted by: sousuke87

thanks for all your advice!

also search up the Buy/Trade/Sell on howardforums, i've seen quite a few 903s pop up in pretty good condition

You could also try looking locally at sites like craigslist. That's where I found mine. The ones there are mostly used though so it will be heard to find a new one there. But it will save shipping costs. Just make sure that if you find one there and you are about to purchase it in person, check out all the functions to make sure it works(bring your sim card and do a few calls, test the camera, test the flash light, etc..).

Did you just move here from Japan? If so, I feel sorry for you

Japan has many phones that are better than this.

ah, not really. i moved from tokyo about a year ago to go to school here. it's hard to understand the american lifestyle, but im pretty much adapted to the culture. i plan to take a break and go back to okinawa to chill for a bit then go to school at tokyo university or some other school here.

Welcome to America where some people are famous for doing nothing. For example, Paris Hilton. I don't know about Soulja boy though..

And yes, bring me some Japanese phones too xD

"crank that soulja boy" lol. this is the age of .. no one being able to dance. so when a song comes out that has a dance involved, its instantly cool. there's so many .. questions i want to ask about Japan, but I .. don't wanna be a weirdo. haha >.<

Posted by: Akira87

i'm wondering what are the chances of them being a 2006, best way is to ask seller, sousuke might be looking for japanese support, so that may be an issue if its a 06

Posted by: Ng-83

Hmm I've been away from Sharp forum for too long, what's the issue if it's an 06 version for Japanese support?

Posted by: aw614

I think something about not being stable in japanese fw, compared to the 05, not sure why either,

Posted by: Ng-83

i had mine flashed to japanese firmware on the 06 model, it was completely fine.

Posted by: aw614

oh well I'll have to live with euro then on my white 06

Posted by: sousuke87

hm, i'm a bit stronger on reading japanese, but european frimware is fine also. Whatever works best on the at&t network. and thanks ng-83! But i found a great deal and bought a used 903sh(white) for 250 dollars and i also get a 512mb cardm but i couldnt help myself and bought a 1gb mini sd. I also bought a screen protector. So using this 903sh wouldnt be a problem on the at&t network?

Oh! and also for those of you wanting new housings, i contacted a UK ebay dealer and he sells black OEM housings as well as new white oem housing

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...em=120171071600

they are a bit expensive but you can buy them here. the link goes to a black housing but i contacted the seller and said he has them in white as well for the same advertised price!

so i finally bought my 903sh :] so i may pester you guys a bit more when i actually get it

Posted by: Ng-83

no problem, glad you found one cheaper.

Posted by: aw614

ah!, I guess I may have to use that seller to get a white housing then, whenever one of my two white ones arrive, I'll have to check the conditions of them to see what i am going to do.

Posted by: sousuke87

is it hard to change housing? is there step by step how to do kind of thing?

Posted by: aw614

its not hard if you have no problems taking things apart

Posted by: sousuke87

Just got my sharp! it's really dinged up. i need to find new housing asap. but i love the phone so far. im personlising it now :]
