Sharp 802

Discontinued
24th September 2004

One of two Sharp 3G phones to be announced by Vodafone, the Sharp 802 is closely related to the Sharp 902 and derived in part from the Sharp V602SH.

The Sharp 802 is a 1.3 megapixel camera phone with a large 240x320 pixel display in 262,000 colours. Like the 902 and V602SH, the Sharp 802's display swivels to act as a viewfinder.

At the time of going to press, we believe that the Sharp 802 also features Bluetooth and removable memory on SD cards.

This is a fully featured 3G phone - in addition to the 1.3 megapixel primary display, the 802 also has a secondary VGA resolution camera for video calling, and it can download data or media at up to 384kbps. The large screen should make video playback very enjoyable.

Weighing 141 grams, this is quite large for a clamshell, but about average for a 3G phone. Physical dimensions are around 102x50x26mm.

Vodafone hope that the Sharp 802 will be in the shops by Christmas, and will form part of their 3G launch campaign. Pricing information for these handsets is not available at the time of going to press.
