Sharp's 3D Smartphones Coming to U.S. in 2011

Two of Sharp's glasses-free 3D Android handsets were recently announced for the Japanese market, but at least one of them is coming to the U.S., China and India in 2011, the company has revealed.

It's not clear exactly which of these handsets will be coming to the U.S., but both are equally interesting, as the promise of glasses-free 3D on a smartphone is what separates these devices from the myriad of Android handsets out there.

Even without the 3D, the Galapagos 003SH and 005SH have very powerful specifications, with Android 2.2, 1GHz Snapdragon CPUs and a 3.8-inch 3D-capable display with 800 x 480 pixel resolution. The difference between them is a full QWERTY keyboard on the 005SH, which it trades for a 8-megapixel camera, slightly worse than the 9.6-megapixel model on the 003SH.
