FULLFACE2
The wait is over! It seems that Apple has finally come to their senses and have released the iPhone here in Japan through SoftBank! Oh, wait, this is actually the SoftBank 921SH FULLFACE2 from Sharp. But look, you can “Touch, Tap & Shake” it to your heart’s content! And it looks just (or a lot) like an iPhone. And Brad Pitt is using it all the time in those TV commercials, so it must be great! Ah, and Apple, get a load of this, SoftBank is even offering it in a wide range of colors (Black, White, Pink, Gold, Bright Blue). Take that!

Greetings from Romania…love u’r page
Ha! I was tricked to think it was the iPhone when I saw an ad in the train.
did you see that website recently where the japo engineers are dissecting the macbook thinnie being some 10% inspired and 90% bamboozled by its weird logic, or rather lack of, and by its unnecessary costliness both production/manufacture and retail saying they could make something much better at a quarter of the cost.
in cycling terms the first suntour cranks might have resembled the campa record ones a bit too close but then they stood on their own pretty quick ,, then it was suntour who came up with the diaginal derailer .
i’m with the other romanian
I know the inside is not at all like an iPhone, but with their ads, they’re really trying to make it look like one.
Do you know if this phone will be able to do predictive english text as well the obvious predictive japanese?
also, will it work in the uk?
For the predictive English, I can’t say for sure, but I myself have never had a phone in Japan that does it, which is a bit of a pain.
It wouldn’t work in the UK, same as all Japanese phones.
