Ihave a problem with my GX30. It's because i didnt took properly care of it :{ so it.s terriblly scratched on the top, right next my external display and where the camera is. Can i do anything ? change the top or something? I'm very pleased with my mobile altough the battery life is not the best ,,,well i talk a lot also. ...but the quality of the pic really makes me forget this.... sometimes.

Hi. I shall now write a review on the Sharp Gx30 and say what i think is good and bad about the phone.
Good Points
* The screen quality. The quality of the screen, is the best i have seen on a phone. I have had loads of phones now and this is my latest conquest. I have always wanted this phone because i knew it would be great but it was always too expensive. Anyway, now i have it and for me the screen is the first standout feature.
* Camera quality - Once again, like screen, camera is of great quality. Best seen on a mobile phone ever. The detailing is amazing and the camera is easily the best feature - along with the screen - on the phone. There is a macro switch on the handset which helps to take pictures that are less than 10cm away. It's great for picking up on detail.
* Nice size. I really like the size and weight of this phone. I was suprised at how light the phone feels in the hand and i like the size too. It feels solid and sturdy and adds to the quality feel.
* The phone looks very simple, which i believe is a good thing. It has lots of small nice things which build up to an overall aesthetically pleasing finish. The chrome that runs around the camera lens and speaker, and around the top flip sets the phone off great.
* Memory expansion. The phone comes with a memory card and gives the user the option to enlarge. I like the fact that the memory can be switched without having to turn the phone off and removing the battery.
* Keypad - the keypad on the GX30 is nice and large, and is good for texting on. The keys have a green backlight which i dont really like as its kind of old Nokia style, but its not very strong unless your in a very dim lit area.
* Flash light - Love this! It's a really great circle light which acts as an indicator for when calls and texts are incoming, and also serves as a flash light for the camera. Lots of colours to choose from as well as a 'disco' setting.
* Finally the features of the phone are very good. MP3, bluetooth, infared, (although both are limited), 1 mp camera, video record etc. The phone does everything and it does it well too more importantly. As i said my favourite feature is easily the camera and screen, and i just like the look and feel of the phone. It's a great buy if you can take the downfalls....
Bad Points
- Text speed. This is one of them things that puts me off buying a phone so much. I text a lot, and i am very quick at inputting. So when a phone does not keep up with me i find it very annoying - and sadly this is one of the GX30's major problems. Now for most people it wont be a big issue because some may not be really fast, but i am and thats why i am frustrated. Texting is easy to input - just like Nokia, but it lags a little, whereas navigation everywhere else in the phone is extremely quick.
- Its on Vodafone. I hate Vodafone personally. I never get signal where i live, they give you nothing for free, and texting and calling others is a rip off. But thats something that i have sacrificed for this phone. Am i regretting it yet? A little, but i will get over it.
- Becuase the phone is on Vodafone, you get the Vodafone UI, which can be annoying, but i think its ok. Yes its not as good as the colour book that Samsung offer, but we cant have everything.
- Bluetooth and infa-red, are limited. You cant transfer or recieve by these methods which is a bit of a joke, but if it bothers you so much, get the 'i' version.
Well that is about it! They are my major pros and cons of the Sharp GX30. All in all, i am very pleased with my handset and think i will continue to be if the texting doesnt get to me. I hope this helps some people in their decision to buy the phone.

To put mp3s on the SD card, simply use a card reader and put all of your mp3 files in the SOUND directory.

Hello, i am in desperate need of anyone using a GX30! my screen has broke and i didn't transfer my contacts onto my sim :S . I have no way of getting them and don't really want to pay £50 to repair my screen when my contract is up in 5 days anyway. The phone still works, but i cant see what i'm doing. I am asking, no, begging any of you kind people out there to let me know each button press and how many times, i have to make to transfer my contacts onto my sim.
i tried doing it but failed miserably. Thankyou for listening and for your time, please get in touch. Thankyou. Paul Jones! :)

this phone is..... great ... really.... the software is boring
but a great camera ( believe it or not its almost equal to 902 camera )
the bluetooth is only for audio ppl..... only to connect with bluetooth headset not other phones or the computer
to use the mp3 player.... u've got to have the memory reader ... and put the mps in sounds folder then it will work :)
