It’s not really a representative poll but the geeky readers over at Keitai Watch [JP] at least say Sharp’s absolutely awesome Aquos Fulltouch 931SH is the best handset Japan got last year. And I agree. Over 12% of all the 3,000 geeks asked gave their vote to the 3.8-inch handset with the gorgeous 1024 x 480 touch screen.
The Japan-only device, which is offered by Softbank over here, features the world’s highest resolution. It comes with 3G (Japan recently canceled 2G support), a 5.2-megapixel camera with image stabilizer function, a One-Seg digital TV tuner, Bluetooth with A2DP, a media player, an accelerometer, and a microSD expansion slot.
It’s unknown yet whether the slider will ever make it officially outside Nippon. It came out in Japan just a few weeks ago.
The iPhone 3G was voted at No.1 among smart phones, raking in a whopping 61% of all votes.
WOW! Japan and Korea rock in the mobile world! Will the USA ever have technology like that? Why must we be so happy with the run of the mill mundane over here..
How ’bout showing us the best cell phone we can get here in the U.S.
Well,
That is the deal with America. They don’t provide great phones. They are always behind 5 years from the rest of the world. Hate that. I want to use a phone that whole world is using before us.
