To the J-SH53 user,
I spend much time in Japan for work and i use a NEC V701N. When in the UK i just use a 3 USIM. Vodafone and NTT DoCoMo's FOMA service aren't the only ones that use USIM's. KPN Mobile (Netherlands) and 3 (UK) use them as well. Like Sharp NEC also claimed that it was locked to a Japanese USIM but mine works great with 3's and KPN's USIM. i don't know if the V801SH can be unlocked though, because it's impossible to unlock mine...

2000 message Inbox, 600 message Sent mail storage. Nice. It's pretty new right now. Maybe it will get unlocked in the future. Basically, yeah, it just gives a phone user from Japan the chance to use roaming outside Japan.

Just saw this phone at a Vodafone shop yesterday in Tokyo.About 30,000 yen with tax.I just wish it was unlocked so I could use a local Vodafone Sim when visiting New Zealand.

I hope this phone has been fitted with a re-format capability. As current models have the "Restore Factory Settings" function, I think it is time they have a "Format Memory" function because these things are becoming more like computers: they can be modified, get viruses, have software added/deleted, etc. When the "Format Memory" function has been activated, everything should go back to the way it was when it left the production line, from Internal software to Ringtones.
Who agrees that this would be a good idea?

In response to Phoenix81's question, Sharp claims that the phone utilizes what is referred to as USIM sim card technology (saying that it is incompatible with any other GSM network's SIM cards) and if my history of understanding Japan's desire to keep their domestic phones out of international users' hands, this is the epidomy. I've been using the Sharp J-SH53 in Tokyo (the predecessor of the V801SH) and I've loved it. It has all the bells and whistles (minus the Bluetooth and 2.x megapixel cam), but it does have the Music player, OpenWave browser, Java support and the barcode reader everyone keeps referring to. Trust me, I hardly ever used it. The idea came about when people would put web addresses in the Q-pic format and put it on websites or business cards (as it was intended) and avoid having to type stuff in (remember T9 doesnt exist for the most part in Japan), however I never really saw that catch on in Japan.
If anyone ever gets this phone unlocked and working on a U.S. GSM network, please let me know as I would be up for getting one! (Although my SH53 still does function nicely as a digital camera and SD-Audio player and a nifty remote controller for my TV and VCR.)
Looking forward to its release later this month...
