I've just bought it 2 days ago.
I love the screen!
Its the sharpest i can find: 240 x 320 pixel in a 4.1 x 3.1 cm screen, which is 6,042 pixel/cm2.

I've had this phone for a few weeks now and love it, but I've just bought a bluetooth dongle for my computer and I can't make the Handset Manager that came with the phone work. I follow the instructions but "trying to connect to the handset" just flashes down the bottom and it can't connect. Anyone know why this is happening?

A real good phone, a good size light weight and good easy to use controls. the only problem is that it is quiet 'Plastic' but all in all a great phone. But im a bit biast because i like sharp despite the years of sponsering Manchester United!

I haven't received my phone yet but it cost me A$360 the guy who paid US$400 either was a sucker who the sales person saw coming or is a dope and has no clue and should be banned from posting his opinion. The phone is the best you can get for the little amount of money that you are paying the equivalent of a nokia phone with the same features or any other brand come to think of it is easy in excess of A$600.

Carl said: "No picture association with phone numbers. As is common with most high res phones out there today, there should have been a way to attach a photo that you can take with the camera, to a contact number. Then when the person calls, that photo is displayed in the external screen."

Here are two ways:-

Pick a photo>options>add to contact.

Or pick a contact>options>edit/add details>options>picture.

How do you explain this, is it ignorance (though if u paid US$400, when I got one for A$399) or deliberate misinformation?

I bought this phone for use worldwide including USA. I wanted something also with Bluetooth and for it to be light. Because of the high pixel camera and display I settled on this model. After about two months use here is my findings.
PRO: Great display. A very sharp looking device, No pun intended. Blue tooth works. 5-navigation is a plus.

CONS: Very High Priced. For this kind of money the talk time is ridiculously low. They advertise 3.5 hours, but I am lucking if I get 2.5. Plus when the battery runs out there is no warning, if you are talking to someone, it just powers off. Phone does not come on when you flip open the device, even though it will disconnect when you close the flip. The numbered buttons are flat with the surface and small. So most times, I am hitting two numbers at once, almost impossible to dial with one hand. The device is all plastic, and for the money, over $400 US I expected more. The plastic is soft on top of it. Very easy to scratch, ding or nick, which I have none already just by caring it in my pocket. The external display is only a blue lighted LED. Cheaper other phones, have the graphic display, which this phone, again for the price, most certainly should have had. No picture association with phone numbers. As is common with most high res phones out there today, there should have been a way to attach a photo that you can take with the camera, to a contact number. Then when the person calls, that photo is displayed in the external screen. The cheap external display on this Sharp phone is impossible to read in a dark environment if you are doing another task, such as driving.

All in All this phone is priced in the ridiculous range. I'm getting rid of this phone and looking for something else, at least with a longer talk time.

This phone is a vodafone!

I don't care what ANYONE says,
it is rediculously expensive to run!
And has a stupid 'snaping' sound when you close it - like it's broken!

I would strongly advise people to divert their attention to Samsung's range!
