I purchased this phone because it looks great, sounds great and is generally funky. However I took it back after 1 day when I discovered I cannot transfer jackshit between other phones. I thought bluetooth gave data transfer freedom? The phone is a waste of time, as you cannot scan around in pubs and transfer silly stuff. IE Bluetooth's fun factor. This phone should be compatible with Nokias, Sony's etc. If Sharp wants to succeed in the mobile phone market they better get their act together and make their phones compatible. Buy a Nokia 6230

I agree with electra, i bought a mem card of 256mb memory for the mp3 files and i can put there about 60 music files. The memory of the phone, that is good also comparing to other phones, it's for pictures and phone numbers, games, etc, not for mp3 files. The sound is great also.
I'm only sad with the bluetooth and infrared not working with other phones, but if you see other phones like e700, doesn't have bluetooth. Don't work with other phones, doesn't matter, it works with computer, if i want things from friends, they will send thrught the MMS. I'm happy in general with the phone, and i have for a month already.

Well,people I saw the phone and played around with it!!To all of you that saying that its sucks, what are u talking about?Are u doing it on purpose? The phone is great. The camera is the best I ever saw!!!You move around and it doesnt blur at all!!! The video is very good for a mobile!! Yes it loses some movements but what do you expect?Its not a video camera its a mobile!!!Go buy a camera if you like something better!!!!!!!!!And about the flash light if you want to take something from a distance go buy a photo camera!!!You cant expect from a mobile to have all these things!!!Also do u know many phones that comes out with a data cable? Of course not!!! Its obvious that these things you have to buy them on your own!!!About the mp3s its obvious that you have to buy a memory card!!!! God, people get real!!!I read all of your comments and I didnt want to buy it but when I saw it I was amazed!!! You really dont know what u re talking about!! I think that u dont even saw it!!!You think that nokia is so much better?Then go buy a nokia!!!Of course new mobiles will go out soon and all the time. Make your choise but do not give the others false information about gx30.Finally when you buy a mobile you should read the features and specifications before!!! Everyone knew that it can not play mp3s as ringtones, so dont get upset!!!! Thats all and please please dont give any more false information...GROW UP!!!!!!

the mp3 player is fine, theres nothing wrong with it, it sounds great through the speaker and you can get proper songs on to it using a card reader/wirter and put them straight on to the card

yea this fone has all the good features but the major prob is the features dont work as good as others. especially mp3 player. 100kb is like 10 seconds and what kind of song is that?

this fone's mp3 player is so shit. If any of you are trying to buy this piece of shit don't even think about it. the max memory of file you can transfer to your fone is only 100kb. What kind of fuking song is 100kb? the camera laggs as well. the flash is bright but doesnt flash to the long distance. video recording is only 400kb. which is shorter than a minute. if anyone kno how to increase the max size of file you can send to your fone plz tell me

annoiying thing to comment about camera:
very poor in dark conditions, it does have a flash but annoying thing is when you turn it on it stays on constantly instead of just flashing when taking pic, makes it impossible to take pics of people (light hurts their eyes in dark)

this phone represents the best step forward in mobile tech for years. nothing compares with. i mean a 1million pixcel camera, bluetooth, mp3 and all the improved features from to gx20. what more do you people want, it wont do your washing or take the dog for a walk but if theres better in this country then tell me. i work for vodafone and trust me theres nothing better.

Hi. Can the phone play mp3s of more then 128kb/sec if you upgrade it or something? Wille it be able to do that via upgrading or is the phone to poor for like 256kb? I want to use it as an mp3 player, but that is kind of important since some of my mp3s are 192 or 256....

Another thing about GX30 is that in order to have photos in yr picture phonebook, photos have to be stored in the handset memory i.e. if ya move pictures from yr handset memory to the memory card it deletes photos in yr picture phonebook. It's very fuckn frustrating who wants pictures of people in their handset memory 4eva???

Yea I got a SGx30 cos I thought it was the meanest fone eva but Iv'e had it 4 a week and its actually shit: MP3's can't be used as ringtones, the memory card that comes wit it will only store 1 or 2, Bluetooth can't be used without a heatset: there goes transfering pictures to mates fones for nuthn, the camera images once sent get converted to half a megapixel cos the NZ network can't handle them and all for an awesum price of $1299NZ yud have to madaz to waste ya money especially as theres gonna be heeps of macdaddy fones on the market very shortly everybody hold up and wait youll be glad ya did. I know I work 4 Vodafone!!! Peace out.
