Sharp's WS011SH Windows Mobile superphone in the wild

Sometimes -- all too often, in fact -- devices simply don't live up to their carefully selected and prepared press shots, but yeah, we're pretty sure that's not the case here. LetsGoMobile recently had a peep at Sharp's lovely WS011SH Advanced/W-ZERO3 [es] on the floor of IFA, and seriously, it seems to look every bit as good in the wild (if not better) than it did in Sharp's own materials. With a 3-inch WVGA (yes, wide VGA) touchscreen serving up Windows Mobile 6, you can sorta think of it as an HTC Vox on performance-enhancing drugs -- the only difference being that we stand zero chance of ever seeing this 'round here on account of the PHS radio designed for Willcom service in Japan. Tragedy, ain't it?

Why oh why can't we get some amazing devices like this in North America? I would absolutely love to have a phone like that. I'd even take something like the imate ultimate series, but I don't have a GSM provider in my region. :(

Nice specs, but seriously ugly. That Moet Champagne color might go well with something in Lil' Kim's wardrobe, but not mine. It's kind of tacky looking.
