Hi everyone, I am a new fan of this phone. I saw my friend using it, and I fell in love with it. I am planning to get a new one for myself, however with all the info. on the net about how Sharp discontinued this model, how much should a new one be worth. I am hoping I can get one soon and thanks for any replies =)

$660 according to yesasia

Oh my..I guess there is a price to pay for a good phone! Good thing I have a pay cheque coming soon

It's very hard to get a brand new one. There are some renew/recondition from the factory in Japan according to those sellers on some auction sites.

If you could find a brand new one, it's going cost around CAD$600 or more.

I've been debating selling my red one or not... still undecided...

It's a really nice phone, and I just recently broke my nokia 6280... guess it's a sign for me to spend some money on a new phone

Seems like 903SH prices are going to stay high despite recent developments in the world of JDM phones... I am wondering when we will see prices drop. 902SH prices on the other hand ... are not bad right now, good that they are dropping in price (gradually, but they are).

Posted by: Akira87

there are plenty of refurbished 903shs circulating around esp repackaged from the mainland, and those WXT91s, which theyve jst recently discontinued. Goodluck finding a brand new in box, they are very rare.

At least $600

Posted by: Efishie

Thanks for the replies =) I will post again when I get one, and the price just fyi. Back to phone hunting!

Posted by: martindesu

Out of interest, where will you be looking?

Posted by: Efishie

Probably on E-bay, and I got a relative in HK that will be going to mainland for a work trip, so I am going to get him to look for me too. And if I am desperate I will order one from yesasia...

BUT...since the 904 can be used now, screw 903, at least for me.

design wise I pefer 903sh, but I'll probably see if I can get a 904sh a few months down the line.

i think the 904 design is more modern, and thats why i like it more than the 903.

Posted by: Akira87

I prefer a boxy look, there im sticking with my 903sh

, but i crave a 815sh >.<

903SH was very well made model from Sharp indeed but

lack of VGA screen (BIGGIE)
lack of external screen (know its small but still)
better support on Mini SD (supports more than 1GB)
Smaller (relatively)
ETC

I do prefer 904sh

lol I had the same problem as you >_< I got a red one and then after awhile I regretted not getting the white one ..... luckily I got a white one just a few weeks ago it was relatively cheap and the condition was nice so I couldn't resist lol

ps. Uh actually I have a 2 gig card for my 903sh (transcend MiniSD) lol some cheap brand I've never heard of and it works o.O but then I've read that it varies between users since some can get a 2gig working while others can't even get a 1 gig working >_>
so I'm not going to tap into that much lol.....

Posted by: Efishie

hmmm, I have yet to get my phone. Is 904SH more superior than the 903? Because my relative can get a hold of both, and the 904 is ~10 CAD more. What do you guys and gals think?? Gimme some input

Posted by: aw614

get one of each

Posted by: Efishie

I wish I can....I don't got the cash bro

Posted by: gchristy

how much are you getting the 904 for?

honestly, to me. the only difference from the 904 and 903 is the physical appearence, and the battery life. Also, I heard the 903 has better video recording than 904, not too sure about that though.

Posted by: Efishie

904 for about 600CAD I think, I am not sure got to ask my relative again.

Posted by: gchristy

oh, so the 903 would be around 590 right? these are brand new btw?

Posted by: Efishie

Yea, I think so, it's a good price right?

Posted by: gchristy

too pricey for me lol

Posted by: Akira87

gotta pay for being exclusive

Posted by: Efishie

Is a brand new unlocked 904 worth 600?

Posted by: martindesu

Probably. It's getting the PSS SIM that is the costly part I think...

Posted by: Efishie

904 is unlocked using HyperSIM, just curious, does anyone know how it works?

Hi,
If youre still looking for a 903sh, I have a white one in immaculate condition (girlfriend kept it in a case from day 1, with plastic covers over the camera lens and screen). It has Japanese firmware and is not unlocked (ie. its in original condition.)

I am about to advertise it soon, but if youre interested I will take US$350 including shipping to anywhere in the world by courier. By the way, it comes with all original accessories, manuals, purchase receipts and a free desktop charger holder which was purchased separately.

cheers

A pss sim is $125.

A 903sh new (if you can find one) is about $500-600 (I haven't checked in a while). Most likely it would be really difficult to get one.

A 903sh refurb is about $350-400.

A 903sh used is anywhere from $100-300 depending on condition and age.

A 904sh new (getting harder to find) is about $350-400 depending on where you get it from and what the demand is at the moment. This price may get slightly higher when the PSS sim gets more well-known or if its price drops.

A 904sh refurb (basically new as its been refurbed by softbank with a new outer case) is about $300.

A 904sh used is about $250-300.

These are CAD prices and not my own.

New one? No way.... now is all 2nd Hand.

Posted by: fr4c

wow prices have really hiked up on the 903. I bought mine last year BNIB with all accessories for $450.

Posted by: MyLoveForTofu

Well theres This guy who's selling 904sh (black) new for for 390 (I read somewhere that a Hofo user bought from him so I guess he's a legit seller?)

or you can check this site they have locked 904sh's (most of the colors) for 550 dollars, they also have 903sh but its too inflated if you ask me lol

I myself haven't decided whether to get a 904sh now or wait till my trip to Asia >_<
