Sharp SH9020C / Softbank 923SH
 

anyone have this phone? is it worth the price tag of $880?
frankly i am tired and bord of my iphone and am looking for another phone to use.
so tell me, whats good, whats bad, is it worth the dam $880 price?!? lol
and do these phones still need simhacks to use here?

I was wondering this too, im sick of my E66, way too dull..

I personally want an SH-03A or SH-01A but the 923SH is pretty eye catchy too, but I haven't had a jap phone since my 903

Any keitai users out there?

Well they're just all for looks hahaha
I wouldn't buy it for 880 bucks.. it's just not worth it for what it is and does.
The UI on these phones are quite complicated and there's not many functions and you won't be able to do anything with the phone ie. mod it, add games etc.
So if you're coming from an iPhone, you'll be extremely bored if you're used to having apps and games.
If you were to buy one, I'd rather put in $200 more and get a Nokia Arte haha.

The SH9020C does not need a sim hack/media unlock since the phone is from China, and they use GSM over there too. It's just that the phone is only a triband so you won't get as good reception since only the 1900 band is being used.
But the 923sh would need a simhack.

If you want to have a keitai look down to the 920sh/Docomo 905/906/01/03 series.. they're pretty much the same hardware wise.

lol stop hating on triband justin just cus u live in the middle of no where. i have the t92 (tw version of the 920sh) and its fine along with my 903sh even in basement areas

lol I get no reception at all when I'm at school.
triband = gayyy

got any more info? or know anywhere locally that i can check them out? it doesnt have to be a 923SH/9020C, i just want a jp phone with big and clear screen thus the sharp phones. lol. so yea any more recommendations/infos.

thanks!

heres a response by a keitai person....
yes...
triband isnt bad on a regular phone, its just taht the school u goto justin is a brick building

but its not worth the fancy 880 believe me, unless your diehard keitai, these types of phones isnt for everyone

i have a sh9020c...phone is AWESOME...its definately a headturner and a question magnet...it doesnt have wifi or gps or an app store but its a great weekend phone..

i didnt pay 880 for it tho try looking for a used one...hofo/craigslist/ebay...i paid 623 shipped from toronto...

also if u dont want to spend that much u can try getting ur hands on a sh9010c/920sh..slightly lower quality screen...worse camera
