According to the documents submitted to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the United States, Sharp is currently developing a mobile phone called "PB 20 ZU".

"PB 20 ZU" is said to be a slide model equipped with Bluetooth and wireless LAN, and adopts dual band CDMA as the communication method.

This is the details of "PB 20 ZU".


The label attached to the device looks something like this.


If we say a slide model with Bluetooth and wireless LAN, it will inevitably be associated with a cell phone close to a concept smartphone close to W - ZERO 3 for WILLCOM. Since this model submits materials to the FCC,Toshiba's smartphone "TG 01" sold in both overseas and Japanese marketsIt seems to be a model considering overseas deployment as well.

Also, although it is a dual band CDMA communication method adopted by "PB 20 ZU", according to the following link au adopts itCDMA 2000 1X, So it is possible that the possibility that "PB 20 ZU" is a smartphone for Sharp au, with global expansion in mind.

· 16: 05 additional note
After confirming with KDDI by telephone from the reader, I heard that the current au terminal is a tri-band terminal adopting the frequency bands of the old 800 MHz, the new 800 MHz, and the 2 GHz band. Also, since the old 800 MHz band will be abolished on July 24, 2012 due to frequency reorganization, it will become a dual band of 800 MHz and 2 GHz band after a certain period of time.

In other words, since it is still not possible to truncate the old 800 MHz band, is that the possibility that "PB 20 ZU" comes out from au is thin? HTC is based on HSDPA-compatible smartphone "Touch Pro", a derivative model that makes communication system correspond to au "E30HTIt is a place I would like to expect appearance as a model for au, considering that we released it.
