Sharp's GX30 one megapixel cameraphone
Yes, the Nokia 7610 just came out, and yes, it looks pretty hot, but Vodafone is carrying what is probably the hottest megapixel cameraphone in the Western World — the Sharp GX30. So if the GX30 isn't a smartphone, then why is it so droolworthy? Two words: Dis Play. Not only is the GX30 a good-looking phone with a high resolution camera, it has practically the best high resolution display of any phone anywhere. And though the GX30 is made for use on Vodafone's network (which means you won't see this one for sale from T-Mobile or Cingular or AT&T Wireless), it does have quad-band GSM, which means that it should work in the States if you should happen upon one (though the reception is reportedly pretty poor on 1900MHz networks). Not that you'd want to get one for use in the US anyway, as just about everything on this phone is tailored for use with Vodafone and their Live! network — you can't even access email on it except for Vodafone accounts. The GX30 does have Bluetooth, but it only supports the headset and hands-free profiles, not any data related functions, so unless you're already a Vodafone subscriber, you might just want to pick up the TM-100 instead, even though it only has a VGA camera.
