The phone is great the video capture is great the camera can be under par but usually good. I'm happy with it as are most people. I also read both bad a good reviews but i decided to buy the phone anyway im glad i did. Mini sd cards are great easy to cary about due to size and dnt add extra size to the phone. The phone does come with card reader but you can pick one up for around 13 quid. Get this phone its great.

      You forgot to mention that you need to convert your mp3's at 128 Kpbs. Otherwise they dont show up on the playlist.

        Once again: Take sdcard out of fone, put in card reader, go into it on computer, put mp3's in "music" folder on card, put card back into fone, go to mp3 player and add tracks to playlist.

        Is it really that hard???!!!

                "After reading many reviews of this phone i decided to go ahead and get it dispite thier being alot of poor reviews of the phone. Personally i cant see how people have hade problems with it. Everything on the phone is great, Camera i think looks great although occasionally in bad light pictures can lack quality. The video playback/recording is great, no lag at all plays and records perfectly. Also the MP3 player with headphones in just as good as a normal MP3 player with stereo sound, this feature is extreamly convinient (sp). Thier are also some great photo editing software on the phone which i found quite funny. The screen looks great everything is great. I can't put this phone down in any way, £100 and i get a great phone i'm not gonna complain, I easily think should be worth more than this.

                Little side note if anyone can help me: When i upload an MPEG-4 file i just get a white screen anyone know why this is? Ino its not a problem because the original video demo is in MPEG 4 and that worked fine any help will be appreciated. Thanks"

                It's because the video has too high of an encoding rate.

                  I posted some pictures taken on the updated firmware for the o2 x3, I don't see why so many people are complaining about the O2 X3, it's still a great little handset, only let down for me was bluetooth so I got the k700i. I do still use the X3 from time to time though :).

                      Hey, I got an X3 after reading the good reviews, but I hate this phone, the camera is worse than any i have seen, it doesnt store many text messages, which i need to keep track on how many i have sent. i was wondering about getting the firmware upgraded, if this might resolve some of the problems.
                      But for the moment I am using my Nokia 3660 again as even a nokia is better than this X3 rubbish.

                        Realy great phone. I love, got for £100 off the o2 website, you cant get a better phone for the money. However i highly recomend getting a card reader. The software that it comes with to connect it your pc is useless.

                                As stated many many many times before, Buy a card reader insert your mini Sd card into it run the drive that the card is in and copy MP3 files into the MP3 file on the disk.
