Meh. It was always a cheap, plastic handset. And only a one off Sharp handset on Sprint was not enough to gain any brand name recognition in this market.

Arysyn Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I wonder if there will ever be a new Sharp device on Sprint or any other US carrier, especially since Hisense owns the US market for Sharp now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notsrealinc Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 I want to buy one of these to play around with but I keep finding postpaid Sprint ones online (like ebay)? As far as I know, you can't activate the prepaid version on postpaid. How can I find the postpaid version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know, you can't activate the prepaid version on postpaid. How can I find the postpaid version? I think the Sharp Aquos is pretty much dead and gone. I'm not sure of this, but I think it wasn't even a tri-band "Spark" -capable device, which basically every device now made for Sprint is capable of. I really liked the look of the Aquos though, and am disappointed there wasn't a proper followup made for the Sprint network. I think Sharp has taken a dive though since, as they've sold their U.S. television division to HiSense, a Chinese company that makes cheap budget televisions that compete with other, arguably better Chinese companies selling budget televisions, such as LeEco/Vizio, among others that are more established.

It was a Spark device. Mediocre experience though, I picked one up for a week then returned it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I was thinking about it not having carrier aggregation. I know when I had Sprint during one of the few trial periods, I briefly considered getting the Sharp Aquos, but I didn't want a device that wasn't capable of carrier aggregation.
