Sharp and Vodafone have gotten together to show some mobile phones with VGA displays at the "3GSM World Congress 2006." There aren't many specifications released about the phones themselves, but we do know that they have nice displays -- compared to the conventional QVGA of current Japanese phones, VGA offers four times as many pixels. ITmedia has some pics of the phone in this article [1]. If you're looking for more information, here [2] is the press release from Sharp, and here [3] is the one from Vodafone. Finally, and I'm not entirely sure this is related, but Toshiba is showing a VGA LCD controller LSI intended for use in mobile phones; its press release is here [4]. The image below comes from the ITmedia article.
