While most Android phones are in bar-type or QWERTY slider form factor, there are also a few clamshell Android smartphones, including NTT docomo Sharp SH-01B/Sharp SH7218U, Samsung W899 and Motorola Ming A1680. Here comes another flip Android phone, the Sharp 007SH AQUOS PHONE THE HYBRID to be released by Softbank in Japan in June. The phone is also waterproof with IPX5/IPX7 rating.
The Softbank 007SH runs Android 2.3. It features a 3.4-inch 854×480 Mobile ASV LCD display, a 0.7-inch OLED external display, a 16 Megapixel auto focus camera, and built-in 1Seg TV tuner. It supports GPS, Bluetooth 3.0 and WiFi 802.11b/g/n connectivity. There is also a microSD/SDHC card slot.
The Sharp 007SH supports WCDMA 3G and GSM networks. It will come in blue, pink, white and black.
