Hi Mike

There is no way of downloading the T9 input on the Vodafone 903Sh by SHARP.. however on the Sharp 903 and Sharp SX833 it comes with it.. GSM Arena have cocked it up a little bit cos they have the photo of the Vodafone 903SH by SHARP but specs for the Sharp 903 and have that the phone AKA SX833 but its also AKA Vodafone 903SH by SHARP.. Get me?

If you brought the phone as Japanese then you may be able to change the phne from 21 to 1 and then it wil be fine.. however i am not too sure if you can?? You will know if you have jap firmware cos 1) when you turn the phone on it says "please wait (in Japanese)" when the Euro one will say "Please Wait"... if you decide to keep the Japanese ver please be aware that you wil have to convert all your MP3 tracks to MP4 (aac) inorder for them to play.. Jap firmware cannot recieve MMS unless its on Vodafone japans network also for texting to get a space you have to press right arrow 2 times.. unlike Euro when its just 0 key.

The Euro firmware is much much better but the jap fiwmware has themes and full screen walpaper with the option of turning the operator logo off ;)

Any more Questions? Also what colour did you get?

oh yeah and one more thing.... why does the specs on this page say that the 903 has T9? i wish they would of declared that it was only present in some versions of the 903 and not all... that being said i would of probably bought this phone anyways lol.... i just really hope I'm able to download the proper firmware so i can use t9... that function is EXTREMELY convinient when you're big on texting like I am!

Hi Mike

If you got the Vodafone 903SH (Sharp 903) Then no it does not have the T9 Text on it. You will need Euro Firmware or SX833 firmware in order to have T9.

If you have Jap firmware then you may be able to try that Power 8 Trick to change it from Japanese firmware to Euro... We will atack that problem if it comes up ;)

So when are you getting this Sharp 903?

Thanks Tim

my friend told me that the 903 phone does not have the "smart spell" for texting in the US.... he said cuz its made in Japan, so theres no english dictionary in it... is this true???

ps: thanks Tim, i havent gotten the phone yet but im sure im really gonna enjoy this my 903!!! :-)

Hi Tiffany

I am not too sure about why your ebooks arnt working? Have you put them on the correct place in the memory card? if you have does the phone recognise them under the EBooks part of the menu. on my Sharp 904 its under tools.. is the Ebook part of the 903 under my items?

Thanks Tim

Hi Duke-35

I think that the smaller that you have the pic the better quality it will be... Give it a go.. I cant think of an explanitation why but give it a go.

Hi Tiffany

I cant think of any reason why? are you using japanese firmware or european? I am not too sure if Euro takes E-Books?

Hi LazylilSnOoP

The reason that you are having problems when using your games with the 3 sim in it is cos the games have an activation code set for that sim card (your voda sim) only to avoid sending of them, it encourages people to buy them from Vodafone live.

Yo Duke-35

I am not too sure about the settings but my one is on - Quality (Super Fine) - Picture Size (480 x 640) and it saves it onto memory card... Does this help? I dont really use its camera as I have a normal digital Camera.

PS: If you like the 903SH.. wait till you can hold a 904SH! Its amazing, the 903 is great.. 904 even GREATER! Amazing sound (louder/clearer) little features have been changed like you can browse through My Items folder while in the music player and it will not stop.. Themes that u can download from the internet.. Cool motion games (in jap tho so i cant play them properly hahaha)The unlock should be out soon.. and ill be happy as!

Hi Mike

I just loaded up this page and saw.. I chose this phone over the K800i and i yelled FINALLY A PERSON WITH A LIFE! This phone leaves K800i for dead.... Welcome mate lol... you have made the right choice for sure. This 903 will never let you down like a K800i will with its ever failing firmware and joystick! I work in repair for mobile phones and i have never seen a SH'Sharp (eg a 903 902 801 and the list goes on) in for repair.. and as for the SE phones.. well the shops full of them.

Thanks Tim

Hi all

Just bought a 1gb card for the 903 and love it i fit many movies on the phone..

For those who are interested and live in the uk, get an account with http://www.cclonline.com/
and get your 1gb memory card from there - it cost me only £21.00 including delivery..amazing

i cant believe Car phone warehouse are selling their 256mb card for £29.99 what a set of donkeys.

Hope this is usefull for some folks
