Definitely a Samsung D807 (as it's called in the North American Market) knockoff.

The number pad is more typically Japanese style, but the rest of the phone screams Samsung inspired.

It's also not at all rare for Japanese model phones from Sharp to get released on the European market. It's been going on for years, where have you guys been?

Softbank mobile used to be Vodafone KK, and back in those days, nearly every Sharp phone that got released on Vodafone KK also saw release in Europe on Vodafone networks.

Now it's Softbank mobile, but Sharp wants to keep up it's market share in Europe, nothing surprising or unusual there since Softbank Mobile uses Euro-compatable UMTS/HSDPA.
