[http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/12/aquos-phone-is14sh----au-by-kddi-1.jpg](http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/21/sharp-aquos-is14sh-presses-hold-on-the-death-of-the-phone-keypad/) [KDDI](http://www.engadget.com/tag/kddi/)'s latest team-up with Sharp appears to be haunted by the ghosts of mobile past, present and future. The AQUOS IS14SH sends us spinning back to the 90's with a slide-out numerical keypad that hopes to appeal to those T9 typists who have honed the craft to a fine art. More future-facing customers may be sold on the combination of Android Gingerbread, Three Seg TV tuner, NFC wallet and eight-megapixel camera. The phone is available now in black, white and pink, though none, sadly, will land with Sharp's recently unveiled [optical image stabilizer](http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/07/sharp-aquos-sh-01ds-optical-image-stabilizer-hands-on-video/).
