i rang up sharp about it and they said that they only guaranteed up to a 512mb card to work and no higher. so basically no, but i haven't tried a 1gb so maybe there's hope.

Love my phone, but last week it refused to respond to the keypad, I took out the battery to reset but then it refused to wake up at all. Dropped it into my local Vodafone shop for repair on Friday,it was back on Wednesday which is impressive, but they had found no fault and only done a firmwear update. Some of my saved data was gone but nothing major. I hope it stays fixed. Works fine with a data cable, MP3's are great, the little camera impresses me every time (and I have two digi SLR's.) Oh, just discovered it seems to charge via USB.

What country are you in? Surely there's some sort of laws saying you can return the product if it's not doing what you wanted it to do etc? Must be able to at least EXCHANGE for something else, if you can't get a full refund. Check it out.

I just bought this phone yesterday, and I am extremely disappointed. I previously had the Motorola E770v which has all of the same features, but it got water damage and didn't work properly, so I decided to get a new phone. Since the Sharp had all the same features and was 30 bucks cheaper, I decided to take a chance. However, when I got home I realized that there was no USB cable included and the one I had for my Motorola did not work. Went back to Vodafone, and they said that it wasn't out yet and for me to buy a bluetooth USB adapter. I did which now cost me another 40 bucks, and get home again, and it won't download more than one music file on my computer. It said memory is full (which it isn't) and I tried like 10 times. I asked Vodafone if I could return it, but they said no. So, now I am stuck with a phone I don't want just cause I tried to save money but ended up spending more. I should have gotten my motorola back.

My turn to ask a question :)

On the Vodafone NZ website, it lists "Colour Backlights" as a Feature, saying "Set your screen backlighting to different colours for when friends, family or work call". I can't find how to change any backlight colours. Anyone know how to do it? Or is Vodafone mistaken? They said this about the GX15 too (my previous phone) but I could never work that out either!

Battery life: I have to recharge about every 3 days. I thought this was pretty poor after my very first cellphone could last a week - but I now figure, hey, what's so hard about charging it :) I guess I muck around with it a lot more too though.

Secret Data: You can set tasks, contacts etc as "Secret" - I think so someone else looking at your phone can't see them. "Show Secret Data" effectively unlocks it all, so you can see them again (not sure how many things you can hide though).

I'm very interested in this model, Vodofone Ireland have it at a great price. There are a couple of questions I can't get answers to though, so I'm hoping someone here who's used one can help me out.

Firstly, how is the battery life? The figures Vodafone give actually sound too bad to be true - for a change.

Second, has anyone used it as a data modem with a USB cable? Particularly, can it be charged/powered over the USB cable? It wouldn't be much use for mobile internet access if the battery gave out quickly.

Thanks.

Themes take up a lot of space, mind that.

if you clear most of your phone memory ( pics, music etc) onto the memory card then the phone memory will have the free space to accept whatever files you're sending.

it would probably be cheapest and easiest to just buy a memory card reader for your pc if it doesn't have a memory card slot.

To Eoin - no you can't turn the tone off when taking a photo. It is a safety feature, prevents (or TRIES to) unauthorised pictures being taken of people etc. The best you can do is change the shutter sound.

I got this phone yesterday and I cant find any fault with it at all, if you think about it, this little €99 phone has just about all the features of the €229 Motorola V3x!!Anyone who buys this phone wwll fall in love with it!!!!PS screen quality is next generation stuff, truly amazing!


To Spider: If you try to send files about 3-4 times it usually works for me! Maybe it finally notices that it has a memory card lol!!!

"I don't want the phone to play a tone when I take a photo or start taking a video. I've looked everywhere on the phone but cannot find how to turn it off.... can anyone help?"

Sorry, I think it cannot be turned off :(
