Sharp releases colored variants of the 812SH not like Motorola but instead it is offering customers 20 colors. It is quite a lot I should say.

The W-CDMA clamshell has a 2.4 inch display (240 x 320 pixels) supporting 260,000 colors and an external 0.8 inch OLED display. It has a 2 Megapixel camera with video recording and a Micro SD card slot (upto 1 GB). The phone supports Felica for making wireless payments and securing the mobile phone is an advanced face recognition which wont unlock the phone unless it sees you.

We all love high resolution displays. Be it on our TV, our monitors, or even our cellphones. Hitachi knows it, and it knows that the cellphone department has been a little lacking of late.

So, in comes Hitachi W51H, a cellphone featuring Hitachi’s latest LCD technology. The display is 2.9-inch, has a high resolution of 800×480, a 170-degree viewing angle, and a 400:1 contrast ratio. This beats the crap out of iPhone’s 320×480 resolution.

Tianyu B832 is a dualband GSM phone that doesn’t catch attention at first glance: just a plain, fail-safe Siemens-ish design. What’s so special about it would be its anti-theft features. Firstly when somebody steals your phone and changes a new SIM card, an SMS message will be automatically sent to your old number (which you can receive once you get a new SIM card from your operator bearing the same number), so you’ll know who has taken your phone and hunt that cheapskate down. Secondly, once the phone gets back on network, it can be locked offshore from a computer if you choose to do so, it’s almost like the IMEI trick but this time you are playing police yourself.
