How did you manage to do that (games thru cabel.. Will it work with IRC?)? :) Though I don't need it anymore but I would like to know.. :)

I'm very curious, couse I almoast had a nervous breakdown when it rejected "my special" program, which I really needed at that time. :)
And then I read in the manual that java games - > only with gprs.. -> I was pissed even more! :)
After dicovery of "send to phone" I was quite normal again, couse it is so simple.. A worlds largest idiot could understand how it works. :)

if vs3 has the same function as X800, and 1.3 mp camara included, so the phone will be great :(

And yes, the camera: zoom can be used for video (2x), but you can't zoom in/out while recording. and for pictures (25x) but in VGA resolution or less, not in 1.3MP.

Well, yes it does play MP3 as a ringtone, but it is not actually MP3 player.. No playlist for example.. All music extensions (mp3, amr, mid, mmf, m4a - those are ones that I have on it) are in one folder "Stored sounds".

Besides, it has 30MB. That's enough for pictures or video, but not for MP3's.

Bad thing, I would say, is limited video recording.. I mean.. 59 seconds - what can you record in 59 sec?

I live in Croatia and here they don't sell PC cabels for Panasonic, so I have to use infrared, and I have to say that I never had problems with connection - just don't let IRC or VS3 move while using it, you can't even touch it.

Though I had problem while trying to transfer data through infrared from Sony Ericsson, but after 20th attempt it worked.. :) But connecting it with Siemens hasn't been a problem.

Whitout PC cabel it is also difficult to transfer MP3 to phone, couse with IRC transferring MP3 of 5MB takes about 15-20 minutes..

And one more thing, which is, I think, very important: VS3 does not allow transfer Java games (games saved on PC) through any cable or infrared. Only wap/gprs! And for that you can use very simple, free & aprox.800KB programm for PC - "Send to phone"

At first I couldn't find simple and free software, then I asked Panasonic's service center here and they said that it is not possible (?!) to transfer anything (?!) from PC to VS3 using WAP/GPRS (?!).. So don't trust everything people in service centres say.. Though experts should work there but..

I purchased a black VS3 from HK and have been using it for a couple of months now. The speakers on this phone is weaker than other phones, so you'd have to push the phone closer against your ear during conversation. The phone does not come with many ringtones so have an Infared Port, phone-to-USB cable, is important. You can also use the built-in voice recorder to record your own ringtones too. It does not have a CallerID display on the outside, but you can customize the light to glow at different colors so you'd have some clue on who's calling you. My phone's batteries last very long, I can talk for 3-4 hours and it'd still have a bar or two left. It has a strong case, I dropped it a couple times and it only received minor scratches. I purchased a clear cover for the phone and I print my own cover design for this phone. I get bored with the look of my phone quickly, and being able to customize my phone this way was a big incentive for me. The camera is good enough for me to leave my Lumix at home. Although it does not have an expansion card slot, as long as you have a computer, you can transfer the pictures to clear up the memory. The camera does not have flash though, nor auto-focus like the sony ericssons. The screen on this phone is so beautiful. It is candy to my eyes everytime I use the phone. You can also customize the 9 menu icons to your pictures too. This is a highly customizable phone so it will stand unique from the crowd. It's not an mp3 player though , so don't even bother considering buying this phone for that function.

I've got my VS3 with about 150 euros. I think it's a good deal for this kind of money.
