We first got a taste of the Sharp SH-04B clamshell phone shaped like a chocolate bar when it was unveiled in Japan late last year, but we just spied the blower here in Barcelona at Mobile World Congress. Which is your favourite shade? “Melty bitter” or “melty strawberry”? Decide in our gallery!
The Sharp SH-04B chocolate phone is every bit as daft in the flesh as we’d hoped, with the ridged, Bournville style bar layout clashing ridiculously with the enormous eight megapixel camera sensor on the back.
Sharp SH-04B: chocolate phone unveiled
As a phone, the Sharp SH-04B is also incredibly unpleasant to use, thanks to an impossible to navigate menu system, but once again all our gripes wash away when we set eyes on the on screen panda, which acts like a more tolerable Microsoft Office paper clip.
No one on the stand would tell us if the Sharp SH-04B chocolate phone will ever come to the UK, but with Cadbury’s big brands in doubt, we need something to satisfy our sweet tooth. Check it out here in our gallery and video.
