    My wife's looking at upgrading her phone and wanted a phone with...
    - Good standby
    - A decent camera, which allows a callers photo to pop on the screen when
    they ring
    - clam-shell form
    - bluetooth
    - triband
    - good battery life
    - MP3 ringtones

    The GX30 appears to meet most of the criteria (website doesn't state battery
    life or whether MP3s can be used as ringtones). I was wondering if anyone
    out there has first hand experience and how they'd rate it. The good and
    the bad.

    Thanks,

    Gus

    I found screen and camera nice, battery life way below advertised but still
    decent. Nice size and weight and felt nice in the hand. That said - not sure
    how tought it was though and I send mine back as some of the other bits were
    very disappointing.

    These were not bits you mentioned so it may suit your wife perfectly - but I
    found the Operating System VERY weak compared to the Nokia 6 series (ie.
    3650 6600 etc). It won't multitask for example (1 app working at once only),
    loads of times I tried to do something simple like put a picture in a
    folder - to find there did not seem to be such a concept (unless I didn't
    find it). In the UK Vodafone had completely buggered the thing up by making
    it a 'walled garden' - ie. you couldn't use any 3rd party apps to connect to
    internet - i.e opera browser etc. They force to you use vodafones tools (at
    a cost). Synching with a PC didn't sych calendar etc, only contacts (and
    then it was flakey to say the least compared to Nokia PC suite).

    Its a shame about the Operating limitations as the hardware was very very
    nice. If you don't need any advanced functions and money is not a problem I
    would say it is a nice posey phone with good basic functions and a nice
    camera.
