Sharp have announced 2 new clamshell handsets for the Chinese market.

It was a somewhat surprise announcement really, as we’ve not seen a GSM handset from Sharp for a while.

The SH1810C is slim with a stainless steel body.  It features a 3inch TFT WVGA display (854x480pixels) and an unusual column-style external display.  It joins in with other top range handsets with an 8megapixel camera.  The camera has a CCD sensor, flash and video recording at 30fps.  This tri-band handset features a 6-axis accelerometer and has GPRS/Edge connectivity.

The second handset is the SH6010C.  It features a 3.2megapixel camera, has a 2.6inch TFT display (400x240pixels) with a small extermal monochrome display.  It is a 12.9mm thick flip device, again with a stainless steel body and with the option of five different colours; pink, blue, black gold and silver.
