The gray clouds of Sharp's [gloomy earnings](http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/01/sharp-expects-to-post-1-94-billion-loss/) are about to get a silver lining: [NTT DoCoMo](http://www.engadget.com/tag/NTTDoCoMo/) is at last launching Sharp's new flagship phone, the breathlessly worded [Aquos Phone Zeta SH-02E](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/11/sharp-aquos-phone-zeta-igzo-display/), on November 29th. When it arrives, the SH-02E will be the first smartphone to carry an [IGZO](http://www.engadget.com/tag/IGZO/)-based display and show us just how well the high-brightness, low-energy invention fares in a 4.9-inch, 720p LCD. There's no known fixed pricing, although it's likely the Android 4.0 device will be sitting at the very top of its Japanese carrier's range through its [Snapdragon S4 Pro](http://www.engadget.com/tag/SnapdragonS4Pro/), 16-megapixel camera and LTE data. Not fully convinced of IGZO's worth? Fujitsu's more conventional [Arrows V F-04E](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/11/ntt-docomo-winter-lineup/) is arriving a day earlier with a regular LCD and a Tegra 3, although we'd say that it's worth waiting the extra 24 hours to be a technology vanguard.
