Sharp ups the bar for handhelds with their new EM ONE. The EM ONE is one loaded gun, with features like Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC lets you slide along with 3.6Mbps HSDPA and 802.11b/g with uninterpreted data stream for that lovely 4.1-inch touch-screen display. The Sharp EM ONE is powered by Marvell’s 520MHz PXA270 processor and nVidia GoForce 5500 graphics along with 512MB/128MB flash/SDRAM memory and option for miniSD expansion so expect it to be a smooth ride.

When compared to the Samsung’s F520 dual-slider which combines a QWERTY and numeric keypad for making calls, the EM ONE does the other way around they combine the QWERTY with a side-sliding navigation pad to get you going around 800 x 480 pixel display. It also packs in Mp3, WMA and WMV videos playback support complimented with a pair of built-in stereo speakers. With added features like Bluetooth 1.2, a 1.3 megapixel CMOS camera, stylus, and a talktime worth of 4-hour. Starting March 31st if you are in Japan you can get it for Â¥95,000 (about $797) without contract or Â¥39,800 ($332) with 2-year commitment.
