This phone is horrible! I lost the phone and didn't even bother to go back to look for it. (it was free from T-Mobile) This was my first experince with a Sharp phone and I must say they have a long way to go to even hang with LG or Samsung that I think have the most easy to use and logical menu structure. Here are some of the reasons I hated this phone and you might too:
Cannot set appointment in calendar to alarm as a reminder. (what good is a having a calendar if the phone wont remind you?)
Too many steps to answer call waiting and switch between calls. (doing this on this phone while driving is more dangerous than it should be)
Cannot capture #'s from call log and save under name already in phone book.(you have to memorize or write the # down then go in and add it to phone book)
Cannot change default calling # for phonebook contact. (the first # entered will always be first on the list to call. no good for speed dial.)
No option to dial next number listed for person in phone book (you have to hang up and go back into phone book to select another #)
The volume is too low and too many other shortcomings to list here.
Basically the menu structure on this phone is the worst!! Stay away from sharp if you like a phone that is quick and easy to use without pressing a bunch of buttons. If all you do is just take pictures and text your friends then this is the phone for you.

This phone is great. If you want free ring tones? go to www.google.com type in free midis or go to www.mididb.com and find some there. after u download the ones you like u have to edit them because there so big(long). Then go to www.download.com and type in anvil studio which is a free download(midi editing program). It has NO spy or adware and run it. Then you can edit the length of them or just pick out your favorite part of the tones. I make my ringtone about 30 - 40 sec. Then after your SD card has been formatted by the phone stick the SD card in the computer then copy the edited midis off you comp. and paste them in the sounds folder on the SD card. Then from my sounds in the phone go to options then swith to data card and send the tones to your phone by selecting the midi then options then send or copy to handset. anyquestions on how to do this you can e-mail me at richmcc76@yahoo.com If anyone knows how to get games on this thing pleeeeease let ME know thanks Rich

I love this phone!!! I got it about a week ago, for free from a T-mobile store.At first i had problems finding games, but after searching many sites, I finally found a site.All you have to do is go to t-zones, go to options and click go to URL, then type in www.3gforfree.com, then you can find ringtones, wallpaper, and games all for free. They games do look bootleg, but at least they are something. Does anyone know what it means when u go to URL and it says "Invalid entry.Please try again." It's really annoying.Please help!! I want to go back dowloading games and ringtones. THe camera is super clear, but u have to have a sturdy hand.Not many people have this phone, that's why i like it. If you are looking to get a phone, definitely get this phone!!! If you don't, u have no idea what ur missing!!!Does anyone know if your memory gets renewed each month or do u have to delete some things?Hope I was helpful.

The phone is really great. It takes great pictures great videos but for some dumb reason it doesn't download games. The Sharp company gave it a feature to select if you wanted to play games but it doesn't support it. I hate that I had to pay so much money for the phone that says it plays games but it really doesn't. Oh yeah it doesn;t have speaker phone either. Someone should contact the sharp company and tell them to add the support on the phone and give it to anyone that has the phone for free.

don't even thin about getting a motorola, any motorola because it's not worth it, too much problem. get the sharp and you will be glad you did. the v300 is going to be discontinued, too much defective units and nothing good about v600, only bluetooth cabable.

I don't like it because i just got the phone and my sister has the same exact phone. I put my old SIM card into this new phone the same thing and when she trys to call me it says "Alert!" Or it'll read "ID witheld" The manual book doesn't say anything about that.

My wife just got a TM150 and likes it very much. She does however have the same complaint I hear in many places. "Where the heck are the games?" Article after article I see says that it has "builtin games' or that it can use Java based (J2ME) games. Where are these games available? T-Mobile doesn't have a clue! Is the data transfer cable needed to load the games once you find them?

After having used this phone for a couple of weeks, I can say that I like it, but don't love it. I agree with the 'where are the games?' statement. It's java enabled meaning we should be able to have them on there, but how?
T-Mobile support said that the phone was incapable of using hi-fi ringtones, but I assured them that I could. I was able to create my own .mmf files using a little program called mobile music polyphonic, (google it) but for them to work, the file needs to be less than 50 KB. Just put the file on your SD card and transfer it to the phone from there (if you can successfully navigate the confusing menu system). Overall, the phone gets a 7. No games and no MP3 capability really hurts it.

The ringer volume is so, so low and the available ringer tunes are so limited that it practically makes the phone useless, except if one holds it near his ear all the time...Otherwise 90% of calls are missed. WELCOME ANY SUGGESTIO ON HOW TO INCREASE THE RINGER VOLUME? Mine is on #5...Picture quality not that great compared even to the Motorola 300 and the shutte is slowe than in other camers phones ..
Phone metal surface makes it very slippery. Battery life is extremely short, if one takes pictures etc. Less than 30 minutes of talk and 2 days stand-by.

I like the phone, but I do wish there were more options on it. T-Mobile doesn't have any games for it. I also wish it would let me customize more things. Like Group names, add and remove groups. The camera looks really good for a cell phone and some of the features on it are nice.
