A competitor for the Sharp 902?

nice features, i think its ugly though

This phone reminds me of the Sharp 902 both specs and looks wise. 902 still looks like the king of phones.

It's about time someone made a post about this phone! I was about to do it myself

Here's another link with hi-res pics:

If all the colors get released, I'd probably go with the black-ish one.

And IMO, it's not ugly at all. But then again, that's coming from someone with a candybar phone in their avatar...

and that means what?

He thinks that his gx32 is superior to your 6230b, hence whatever your opinion is on how good a phone looks isn't credible

Who gives a flying **** what phone someone's using at the moment, or why they need to use that phone, doesn't mean they have any worse taste. I think it's not a very good looking phone either... does my opinion count? I'm not using a candybar phone...

I'm guessing he has no idea the number of phones that I've owned in the past year, the GX32 being one of them

Ahh... he's new... i'll give him that

finally a phone with some japan style... (except for sharp 902)!!

I'm really only a freak about flip phones and Japanese stuff in general. Sorry for sounding like an ***, guys.

Yes, I'm NEW... but... I still know my stuff, I think.

Don't mean to derail the topic, but braindead, mind if I ask why you got rid of it?

And while I'm asking questions, dkny_boi, what did you think of that OKWAP? I was thinking about picking up the Hello Kitty version for my girlfriend. (P.S. - hooray for small Canadian cities!! Thumbs up for us)

I don't keep any phone for more than 2 months, which is why I don't have it anymore. I believe I replaced it with a SE S700i, which was then replaced by a mitsu M900

Lol... i was just screwin around with ya man

But anyways, for that OKWAP hello kitty model it is a not bad phone if you mainly use it for talking. Rf is decent (not the best, nor not the worst i've used either so it's still bearable), but the menus are a bit too slow for my taste (gf doesn't care, she rarely goes thru them), and the sms is horrible if you want to sms in english. I've got the A267 btw.

Pm me if you want more info so we dont go too far off topic.

this thing makes my Sanyo and SE look kinda outdated....

So has anyone got some pricing info on this thing??

I'm gonna estimate it to be up in the $1500cad range when it's released (assuming ppl can unlock it). I base this on the V800 costing $1300 on release, and the sharp 902 costing $1600. It will be pretty **** expensive compared to what it's really worth...

Just noticed your in the UK, so you'll have it easier than us canadians coz you should be able to get it on contract from vodafone then.

By the time this gets released (assuming it has all the same features as the 902 but hopefully a better camera) then it'll probably be around $600 - $800 USD? Because by then all those new phones that all the other companies like SE, Samsung and Motorola are making will be out, or ready to debut.
