This phone is reasonably reliable, however I frequently encounter problems whenever I go to download something off the vodafone website

Nice looking phone, wonderful bluetooth, but why does it not take voice out sounds. Can anything be done about the memory?

I'm using bluetooth to connect it with my computer and it works excellent. I'm very pleased with this phone. Cheap and very reliable. Who needs memory? A phone is designed mostly to communicate. If you want to shoot pictures or movies, cameras were also invented.

problems arrive when combining unsupported transfering schemes. Like trying to transfer a vcf file format unsupported by the sharp phone.
Also when phone enters stand by while connectivity is on (either bt or ir) i noticed some problems like the ones you posted. All ok after reinitiating the connectivity service.
I think that a poor error management implementation implied a poor bug checking procedure by the sharp developers. I feel that this is the only error we'll see when something goes wrong with the transfer: return to standby.
As a conclusion: it is a low cost phone that wanted to implement medium to high end solutions. You can see that when you enter the menu that looks great and after that the graphical design is very poor in quality. And as usually when you try to build a mile long tower with the money that usually buy a cottage for the dog they got a broke legged chicken that doesn't lay any eggs. :))

bye not buy

I bought it too for 50US$. It's just great. The only cons found so far is the lack of memory. But it's fine with me.
