Sharp's W-Zero3 Makes the List of Top Five Trendy Japanese Products
"Nikkei Trendy's December issue includes its annual countdown of products that made it big in Japan. The editors of this comprehensive tech/trend-tracking magazine made their picks from various genres of consumer products--electronics, books, food, Web sites, McDonalds seasonal menu items--that went on sale between October 2005 and September 2006."
Weighing in at number five, the Sharp W-Zero3 is a sleek-looking converged device which runs Windows Mobile 5, offers a VGA touchscreen, built-in 1.3 megapixel camera, slider-keyboard, USB-host capabilities and takes mini-SD cards. Might be what you're looking for...if you're willing to move to Japan to use it. Looks like it only works on the Japanese PHS network right now. Check out the specs here.

It's not, it's 3.7".

That makes much more sense. Still, in one of the links that Paul posted, I saw an awful lot of references to 2.8 VGA (note the lack of the " symbol).

In looking at multiple pages of device info, I somehow linked to the wrong one, not realizing there was a second, similarly named model. Thanks to [b]Nurhisham[/b ] for correcting my links and to ctmagnus for noticing the great child model using the device. :mrgreen:

wow
Jesus Christ! This Device is awsome, just when I thought my Exec was the best thing to tap on, I was sadly mistaken. Man I swear to you if this thing supported GSM I would import it faster than I could type the word i-m-p-o-r-t.

The W-Zero3 has been out for quite a while now, but we're all still dreaming about it even in South-East Asia. It only works on Wilcomm's PHS network, not GSM, which leaves out anybody outside of Japan.
