    Well spotted, but the big question is how much is it going to cost...

    That phone is sweet, but obviosuly it will cost a bomb. Compare that to phones out at the moment and and their specs, then their prices...

    one hell of a phone allright.
    but surely the pics would eat up memory and along with all the features like the mp3 and 262k screen eating up the battery life? that would be my only concern.

    otherwise this is THE phone imo, has everything, even quad band.

    Ye but it still looks as crap as ever. Features are amazing. Bit too gimmicky for me. I mean, if i want an mp3 player, i wont be relying on this phone. I'd use my own dedicated one that would blow it out of the water. And a flashlight? What the ****? Plus its the type of phone every knacker in dublin will have.

    Memory capacity wont be an issue because the phone accepts flash memory cards..

    As for Ronaldo7, how do you know the MP3 player won't be of equal quality to your existing MP3 player.. As for you statement about every skanger having it, you dont see too many skangers with 400+ euro phones.. How many do you see with the Sharp GX20?

    Rumour is this phone is being launched here at the begining of March and will be around €400 with a contract ... that makes it about €100 more expensive than the GX20. But I guess we'll have to wait and see...

    I had the pleassure of using this baby for a few hours today. It is going to be a very popular phone. The screen quality and camera quality just cannot be touched at the moment. Add the SD media card feature and MP3 playback and you are onto a winner!! Really is a fabulous handset!

    Every single knacker in Dublin is going to want one and will get one. Look at all the popular camera phones. All the knackers have them. I dont know one person who doesnt have the existing sharp gx10i or gx20 . This is going to be no different. And there is no chance it will beat a dedicated mp3 player for quality.

    Getting back to the point, does anyone know when this phone will be released in Ireland. It's March now and I'm itching to get one!

    i'd keep itching a bit and see what news comes out of CeBIT (in about 2 weeks), e.g. Motorola's MPx 100 MS Smartphone announced last week would be a better handset overall, rumours are they will announce a new clam shell model if that form factor is a major consideration...

    always worth bearing in mind operator specified / customised handsets are to primarily deliver revenue for the operator, which can be at the expense of usability to the consumer...
