eh if got future andriod 2.3 update how? need to send back to u for SW update?

 

[n_bennyhk]

Inbuilt Android have a software update function using wifi or OTA via data.
Should be able to upgrade locally to Android 2.3 in future.

 

[mav3rick]

Ya. But will the software update cause the phone to be get lock again?

 

[w3]

1 question 4 u. why is there a "R" on the signal indicator as shown on those pictures? are u using an active softbank usim to "roam" on m1 network locally? dats y data & 3g incoming call works?

 

[n_bennyhk]

its using a special hypersim for sharp android 2.2.
So updating to newer android 2.3 in future will not get lock.

Due to its a hypersim unlock , So no matter how there will be a R ( Roaming ) as its not using in japan.
Good news its that just work like a normal android phone without problem.
Rooting its also possible.

Review ontop is using a local simcard with the special hypersim to support data surfing and the rest of the function...

 

[mav3rick]

oh still need hypersim ah. i thought full software unlock just slot in SIM card can le.

like tt not enticing for mi

Hey. First post here. Some of you might know me as yamanote over at hofo.

I have a LYNX 3D (bought it thinking it had GSM, I was evidently wrong). Still, 3G outgoing works and data works with a normal universal docomo/softbank hypersim.

I see that 3G incoming works with the 003SH with your special Sharp Android hypersim. Any chance of testing with the lynx to see whether or not it works? If not...

Seems like i'm one of the few foreigners with a lynx3d atm, so would you be interested in selling one of your 'special' hypersims to me for testing in the Hong Kong area w/ a SH-03C?

Thanks!

 

[speedknight]

its here already...

 

[Chay1337]

I'm quite interested in this keitai/smartphone, it just might be my next phone... Although I wanna see what docomo and SoftBank has for April/Spring

 

[killvino]

anyone know if those special backings are out too? for the 003sh. they look cool

 

[Darius_85]

interested. how much?

 

[speedknight]

he selling for 8xx just search for his post you can see the sale thread already

 

[n_bennyhk]

Just to keep a notice for people asking about 003sh/005sh Data Surfing.

Its all along able to use GPRS/EDGE/3G* Data to surf the net. But special settings must be set in order to use. Not depend on Hypersim ( As Hypersim to set useable for call sms..etc )
A Special Application must be install before you can use data surfing.
Do keep in mind not out of the box.

 

[ahhdillon]

Very interested in this phone and will buy from you when I am able too.

Just wondering though, does EVERYTHING work right with this phone? And if it does, when using hypersim+sim card is signal working fine like a regular phone? Or does it have the OUT problem like clamshell keitais?

 

[n_bennyhk]

After the long period of test , most of the sim are working fine .
Percentage of signal lost its very very low compare to clamshell, due to its running on Android Platform.
Tested Result
Data surfing its working fine with most of thje market application supported.
Just lesser 3D apps could be downloaded.
Glassless 3D screen its quite impressive, but will compare with the coming LG 3D phone to check out the differences.
For UI wise , i quite happy and easy to navigate along.
For video playback wise i tested with rmvb format on rockplayer.Playback still abit lag compare to other format like mp4.
