I would normally have just surfed on past this review but it is so far off the mark that it deserves a response. The Sharp 903SH for Vodafone is a large brick of a phone with the slowest autofocus you could imagine (unless you've tried its predecessor, the snail-focus 902SH). Despite the relatively high pixel count, both of these phones take a less than acceptable photo. I don't know if it's a lack of post-processing or a sinple reflection of the fact that Sharp is not a camera maker, but the hype about the high pixel count is misplaced for a number of reasons.

First, the picture just does not look good: unsharp with low contrast. Second, the phone writes incredibly slowly event to a top-of-the line Panasonic Pro High-Speed media card. Third, the monitor pivots laterally, BUT to the wrong side! So, when you want to shoot a photo, you have to deliberately do everything backwards from the way that would be most natural. Fourth, the shutter button for the camera is awkwardly placed and easy to mis-fire as it has multiple functions depending on the way and number of times it is pushed -- none of this is properly documented. Fifth, there is insufficient control for the shooter over the resolution and format of the image. Sixth, the menus and interface are not merely a step down from the norm, they respresent an ambiguous and difficult-to-master set of repetitive routines that show no sense of understanding of even the most basic rules for designing a user interface. And seventh, to top it all off, the phone is woefully underpowered with the tiny battery that it takes and with the data crunching rising with the high-pixel images and music playback one would be lucky to get through a day before the Vodafone logo comes up and you're waving goodbye not just to your camera and music, but to your phone connectivity itself.

Ooops! I forgot to mention, while the Vodafone 900 series does feature Bluetooth, at least the 902SH is completely unable to sync with the Mac OS X address book.

I recently returned to Vodafone to buy the only SONY product they offer here in Japan so that I can get a photo (even if it is lower res) when I shoot and so my data will sync with my Mac.

Sorry for the bad reveiew, but the public deserves to know."

I think his expectations were more than what a standard digicam will satisfy. Clearly expecting too much...

yea he tot is was a Camera built-in phone... its the other way round pal... dont expect too much from a phone built-in camera.... but i hv to agree with one part... the UI suck in the 903... other than that... i love it..

Posted by: sketch143

=\ what the hell does he expect? ;p he should compare it with the technology of phone at the time of the 903 release... what a tool

i don't like the 903 myself.. but it was pretty good stuff at the time of it's released.. same with the 902

The 903 has low focus time for a phone... Most 3mp phones with autofocus take slower pics buddy...

Posted by: Eyies

Haha that's hilarious.. I would like to hear what else takes better pics. UI =is= bad though, but you learn it, and then it's fine.
