no, it is PHS - a Japanese only standard but it has Wi-Fi and the same operator is offering also Wi-Fi access.
Sharp is producing fantastic mobile phones - for example UMTS phones for Vodafone - so if it produced this phone for Japan, chances are increasing that Sharp will start producing Windows Mobile phones also for USA and Europe! |

Widows Mobile? Only women with dead husbands can buy this phone? Not only is your editorial bad, but so is your editing. |

thanks, I have corrected it - this error was tricky - spell checker didn't notice it. Editorial bad? Come on: but at least you get unique information. |

Out dated technology????
Jesus, look at it, and the prize.....then look at HTC-Wizard/Universal
I would be quite happy with this device if it only came as a GSM/UMTS version.
Besides i think it's about time that competition is raised in this market.
We are paying way to much for HTC devices that never even live up to what they are sold as. _________________ ------------

| I totally agree as HTC now requires some real competition. With the Jasjar they have simply looted their clients as this is not even half way of the pre launch hype created by HTC. |
