So today, Sharp has decided to join the Android army by bringing in a new smartphone called the ISO3. The ISO3 maybe Sharp's first Android phone, but the technical specs shows that its ready to compete with the big boys like Nexus One, Droid X, Droid 2 & Samsung Galaxy S.

The ISO3 technical specs includes a 3.5" capacitive touch screen with 960x640 resolution, 1GHz Snapdragon processor and also equipped with a 9.6 MP camera with CCD sensor and auto focus. The ISO3 also came with a couple of special features that may only work in Japan such as, an e-wallet function, a digital TV tuner, decoration mail function and KDDI mobile access.

The downside of this device is probably the fact that it'll ran on Android 2.1 (supposedly upgradeable to Android 2.2) & will only available for CDMA network.
