you need mac drivers for your usb cable. install the software onto your machine. connect.. done



Posted by: baygost

jon



Posted by: Timsta

where? thats a good question. i've actually never touched a t150 before. so i'm not sure where i would suggest you go.. BUT i normally think that the support for th ecarrier in which you got your phone from should have it aavilable for download



Posted by: baygost

it's actually a good phone with a great camera. if somewhat outdated.
t-mobile was having a special awhile back and the phone was freei. i'm upgrading soon however i would like to download the pix currently in the phone.
thanks
jon

exactly almost all phone companies want to make a platform then share it with mutiple phones therefore cost of the phones will go down. the newer sharp fones are similar but yet different the sharp 904 and 903 is almost identical however internaly the hardware has been moved about consider where the camera placement is .. but for lesser brand name such as motorola and nokia (ex. moto's L2, L6 and L7 share the same basic platform w/ upgrades, nokia's 6101, 6103 and a whole bunch looks extremely alike other then some software upgrades )

less phones alike cost up
more phones alike cost down

thats why sharp phones including many toshiba's and some others are so darn expensive and nokia's are like 200 bux a piece

but you always get what u paid for



Posted by: Timsta

that is true. you do pay for waht you get. thats why no one buys siemen any more i think

I had a sharp TM 150. I loved it..great phone and camera/video, the only thing i hated about it was its horrible battery life. To tell you when i was done with the phone, I had already purchased an extra 3 batteries! I realized then it was the phone. I ended up selling it on ebay.



Posted by: Timsta

ahh.. thanks for your input. u should come back to the darkside.. put away that danger phone and use a sharp again!

hahah i remeber having that problem w/ my gx-32 haha (still do) if i take a lot of pics which i do... my battery will die 2-3 times a day =D so thats why i got 5 batteries for my Gx-32 and 2 chargers HAHA... weird i know but hey it's worth it



Posted by: Timsta

wow.. thats alot of batteries man.. 5 ?!! talk about battery consumption

CRISTINA -

I've decided to upgrade to the samsung E900 slider phone. True, the Sharp T150 is a great phone and no I personally had any problem with my battery except when viewing pix I had taken. If it wasn't for my going back to Mac and the phone software not being compatible, I would have kept the phone. By the way how did you get for it on E-Bay? I'm probably doing the same thing.
