SoftBank Announces 5-Megapixel Cameraphone
SoftBank Mobile announced yesterday it will begin sales of the Sharp 910SH [ .jpg ] 5-megapixel cameraphone in October. According to the specifications, the new model touts a 2.4-inch VGA view finder with blurring correction and a multi-point auto-focus system. Also noted, it has a 3-speed optical zoom feature, bluetooth and QR barcode reader along with face-recognition capability for its embedded FeliCa osaifu ketai (wallet-phone) function.
We were surprised this item announced yesterday was missed by ‘the’ cameraphone commentators, to be fair even Sharp’s website has not been updated with this model yet.
With all the fine print below the specs table [.pdf], one thing we noticed that was surprising was that it seems this model “..doesn’t correspond to the global roaming.” Pity.
