The last phone I remember from Sharp was their “smartphone” version of the popular Sidekick. They have announced the Sharp AQUOS Crystal Smartphone for Sprint
Sharp AQUOS Crystal Smartphone Specs:
Display: 5 inch Full HD LCD (1280 x 720 resolution)
Cameras: 8 Megapixel rear-facing camera / 1.2 megapixel front-facing camera

Battery: 2,040 mAh battery

The phone has barely any bezels. Pretty impressive. But the specs are that of a mid-range phone. It has great tech for music listening (Harman/ Kardon Livestage and Clari-Fi technology.).
