In the middle of last year, the Japanese vendors were seriously interested in foreign markets. Such manufacturers as NEC and Panasonic have announced about their intentions to extend their foreign markets. For the end user this development promises the emergence of many unique, interesting, feature-rich phones, previously available only to citizens of Japan.

Clamshell Sharp Solar Hybrid SH6230C is equipped with 2.9-inch internal screen, 5-megapixel camera with autofocus, while on the back of the case the phone has solar cells. The new device will be released in China in February.

Last year, Sharp has released in Japan a “solar” phone Solar Hybrid 936SH. But the features of the new phone from Sharp are more interesting, including waterproof-cot, support for 3G-connection, 3-inch screen with a resolution of 854×480 pixels, 8-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, infrared port, TV tuner card in the 1seg standard, browser, mobile wallet slot for microSDHC memory cards of up to 16 GB.
