Phones that are similar to Sharp WX-T92 or Sharp SX862

[kcman123]

Hi guys Im looking for a phone similar to Sharp SX862 or Sharp WX-T92. I currently live in the US and they DO NOT produce flip phones like these anymore. I am a person who LOVES flip phones like these and been wanting this phone or similar phones like this one. The problem is that GSM 900 / 1800 / 1900 is not really great in regards to reception in the US because the US uses GSM 850 frequently more in regards to area coverage. Are there any phones like these I can purchase in HK or JAP or in the US that can give me similar flip phones like this one? Thx alot all I really appreciate your help!

Nope. Even the Chinese ones are triband, not quadband.

Some new Docomo Sharp phones support 3G 850.

[kcman123]

any particular docomo model #s sega?? thx for your reply

[Chillyman]

Yeah like all the -0xA

Supposedly all of the X-0Xa models like Chilly said and I guess some of the 906i models (I think all except the Panasonic...and NEC was it? I know least the Panasonic P models didn't have it)
Also, I believe 3G isn't completely stable on these phones...I think the NEWEST hypersims support 3G sending and receiving of calls, but the older hypersims only have 3G sending calls or have trouble receiving. T3h Ionz would know better than me though as he specializes in hypersims and such. I don't have a keitai yet and I've only been on these forums for a few weeks! ^_^;;

It's not the Hypersim's problem, it's the SIM Card's

[stevetam]

well, the new hypersims work with 3G, just look at taiwan, keitias are just like their regular phone, except internet of course!

[Chillyman]

And look at everyone else that has a keitai... regular phone, no internet

You don't need internet. Internet via phone is still mad expensive and every 10 feet you walk there's a free wifi hotspot.

[Chillyman]

Usually you'll get a WiFi signal at downtown but everywhere else, it's dead xD

[kcman123]

So my best bet for 850s functional in the US phone would be... with 3g would be... Docomo SH?

[stevetam]

any new docomo is fine with 3G now..aka prime.style.pro/smart series

[kcman123]

thx again all I would have to buy these phones I presume in Japan? and what about unlocking? And also I live in NY so whats my best bet? I really like these flip phones!!

Ebay if you have no other options. There's lotza stores overseas but they require you to speak the language that those stores are located in HAVE FUN!
