1. More than what I expected, and amazing service!!

   Posted by Kristine on 24th Jul 2018

   I've always wanted to have a flip phone, and I was so happy when I stumbled upon this website.
   
   I've never had a flip phone growing up, and now I finally bought this! It even comes with my favorite color pink!

   Posted by L on 8th Feb 2018

   The phone is great, it is exactly as I expected it to be. This is my 2nd Japanese Flip phone and I love it even more. It was worth all the money spent. :)
   
   The owner of KyoEx also replies very fast to queries and clarifications.
   
   I would love to order again after some time.
   
   Keep up the good work!

3. Excellent!

   Posted by Joan on 24th Jan 2018

   I've wanted a phone like this for ages and I could never get one. Until now :-)
   
   Thankfully, even at this age of bar smartphones, getting a flip phone does not automatically mean an incredible downgrade. Not if you're buying a flip smartphone from Japan! That's because this phone really does run Android which means you will not be far away from your apps if you're moving from a normal smartphone. Granted, you may not be able to install some apps while some others won't run. Still, I've not found much amiss. I've found alternatives and they've worked well to my purposes.
   
   (You won't have the Play Store, it's an alternative app market, so you might want to be extra careful with the apps you install. If you don't want to use this alternative market, you can just send apps from a normal smartphone to your Aquos Keitai 2.)
   
   It took a bit of time getting used to, especially the typing since I'm coming from SwiftKey. It was no problem though because it's so easy to learn. I've only had the phone for less than a couple of weeks and typing is so much easier now. As for the rest of the interface, it's no problem at all. It's so intuitive and there's nothing to worry about.
   
   The Touch Cruiser Ex is a great tool as well. So, for apps not fully compatible with the directional keys, you can just turn on the Touch Cruiser and use they keypad like you would a touchpad on a laptop.
   
   Appearance-wise, I was pleasantly surprised. Frankly, I had misgivings as this was not my first choice in the Kyoto Exports catalog. Now I firmly believe that the photos do not do the phone any justice at all! It's so much sharper that I thought it would be. Externally, it is extremely well-designed. (The push-to-flip-open button is also fun.)
   
   Photos are good and the built-in code reader is a nice bonus. Only, I should note that it doesn't have flash.
   
   Battery life is excellent! It has as much staying power as described.
   
   Communications work wonderful. Calls and SMS work without issue. Phone book is a bit different but you'll get used to it.
   
   Price-wise, it's rather expensive for someone like me. Bit over-budget as well but it's worth it.
   
   A great bonus: MIL-STD-810G Military Grade shockproofing, Waterproofing, and Dustproofing. I don't drop phones very much but it's great not to have to worry about it.
   
   Overall, it's much worth it.
   
   (I should mention: KyoEx is very accommodating. I had so many questions before I could make the purchase and they answered them all promptly. I'm glad to have found this shop. Thank you, KyoEx!)

4. Gorgeous Product

   Posted by Dennis on 4th Jan 2018

   For a while, I've been using a low end flip phone, I was happy with it.
   I wanted to go a step further, having best of both worlds, flip phone and Android. I searched a flip phone where i could installed certain daily use apps, chat apps.
   With the help of Kyoex, I was seduced by the SH-01J in dark blue. I'm very happy of my purchase. It was forth the wait.
   
   The phone is pretty big compare to my previous phone. looks solid with a little mirror effect.
   
   The button on the left side of the phone is used to open easily the flip phone. I remain cautious when i open it, there's a little "click" when I open or close it.
   
   The resolution of the screen is very good, high quality. I strongly advise you to ask for a film protection.
   
   The menu, the home page is like old flip phones, simple and basic.
   
   Touch Cruiser Ex is useful and innovative, you can navigate easily on apps not supporting phone keys.
   
   The external little screen is simple and good looking, bright. Has its led notification.
   
   Photos are good quality. the photo sensor has barre-code reader built-in. there is no flash on it.
   
   It has NFC.
   
   Typing sms is like the typing on a Nokia 3310. The system suggests you keywords and it remembers the previous words you entered.
   For non english person, the system doesn't have accented letters. I didn't found yet how to add them.
   
   Don't be surprised if you are unable to access mobile internet, you need to search how to configure it via your mobile provider.
   Check the frequencies related to your country.
   
   Phone communication are good, clear. The phone looks pretty big when you make a phone call, just a matter of taste.
   
   Good battery life depending on how you use the phone.
   
   The app market installed is good, not all apps will work in the phone, beware of malicious apps.
   
   This phone is ideal for making phone calls, send short messages, use communication app, check quickly e-mails or webpages, taking a few pics.
   
   I recommend it for all Flip phone lovers ;). Latest accessible Sharp flip phone. Pretty expensive but it's worth it :D.
   
   Thank you KyoEx !
   
   (my apologies for this long review)
