Earlier we reported on new Sharp phones to be released outside Japan earlier, and this week we finally understood what the new index SX633A means- it is only a color update of the popular SX633 (Japanese 9705SH and European 770SH, pictures after the jump). We’re still waiting for a promised, separate new device. Meanwhile, the Softbank 812SH has been leaked (pictured above), and it reminds us a bit of BenQ-Siemen’s El71. If Sharp were to export any of their Japanese phones, the 800 series will be on the top of the list. More pictures of the SX633A after the jump.

SmarTone-Vodafone Hong Kong announced the migration of Toshiba Softbank 811T (TX80) phone at ITU Telecom World just 2 weeks ago. Gearfuse managed to grab not one, but three of these to snap pictures for you. Coming up is an exclusive spot review of the TX80 phone, first in any non-Asian language site on the internet. In any case, prior to the European release (if there is one, TS803 upgrade).

Bundled with the set is a 256MB microSD card with traditional SD adapter, a USB data cable, a battery, a British-type 220V squared 3-feet charger, stereo handsfree, mono handsfree and a user manual. So far things have been fairly positive, the 3.2MP camera works well even at night, music functions are not bad, the 2.4″ TFT screen is awesome, the keypad is one of the most comfortable out there, no drop calls and no networks problems… we will be spending our Christmas testing it, the article should to go live on Dec 27.
