Great phone, great camera, large internal memory, TFT display, etc., but the 902 kind of make it "obsolete"??? It's almost like the V801SH which I have and is a great phone! Sadly the US made phone doesn't even come close to the GSM phones sold in the US.

thanks to the Sharp 902, this phone has become somewhat underated.. that's to bad since this is a great phone with features to match and beat just about any phone on the market today.

skater42: Vodafone is already in the US.
They own a significant portion of an American phone company.

skater42 do you know what system Verizon is on? Or even Sprint. Vodafone and NTT DoCoMo is on W-CDMA 2GHz and KDDI (AU) is using CDMA2000 1x800MHz. Even though the frequency may be the same I think the encyrption system is different and would be imcompatable, probably usless between the US and the Japan network. Sad isn't it? All the US model phone is make junky and the Japanese phones are well made with great feature and quality........

Verizon/Sprint won't touch these phones as the software programming is different

Don't worry, you may be able to get the Motorolas from Korea which are on CDMA2000 EV-DO. I have heard of people importing phones from Korea and then getting them reprogrammed. Look on ebay to find some models.
I am not exactly sure how the reprogramming would work, but the S/N number would have to be signed up by your local Sprint/Verizon provider. Probably some hacking and cracking involved, not sure.

It's really sad that all of these great phone will not be available in the US for good. They are meant for Vodafone and other W-CDMA/UMTS service although they are advertised "GSM900/1800/1900" It just means they can be roamed outside Japan/Europe, but are not produced to be sold in the US. Maybe Verizon or Sprint will come out with a similar model! They are the ones that uses CDMA and not GSM network in the US.

All Vodafone dual band UMTS/GSM operates on 900/1800/1900 MHz

And correction one more time:
I meant to write GSM 900/1800...not 800/900.

BTW...by saying they are locking them to 'UMTS ONLY' I didn't mean that they only operate on WCDMA...they do work in GSM, but only on Vodafone GSM or roaming with a valid Vodafone USIM.

Personally I find it ridiculous to brand them phones so much like Vodafone does. Another sort of branding is locking them to Vodafone UMTS and I mean UMTS ONLY. Vodafone is available in many countries, also Australia, but until Vodafone has finished their UMTS-Net over here we won't be able to get the 902 and 802 over here either.
Since Vodafone only operates on GSM 800/900 (as far as I know) and WCDMA I highly doubt if they will ever set foot in the US...even though T-Mobile eventually went over there too.
So I guess the US have to wait a bit....
