Sharp 550SH 3G phone

CES 2007 – Sharp showcased the 550SH that is currently available in Europe, but it has not been brought over to North America yet. Since it runs on GSM, you can always pick one up the next time you cross the Atlantic. The 550SH is a rudimentary 3G capable handset that comes with a 1.9″ (240 x 320) QVGA LCD display as well as a 1.3 megapixel camera that shoots both still photos and videos. The 550SH looks pretty hardy, and it does not feature a shiny surface that attracts fingerprints like a magnet, which is a nice change. According to the Sanyo rep, the 550SH will be carried by Cingular and T-Mobile when it reaches our shores and retail in the region of $150 to $200. Check out the list of features after the jump.
