I rang Vodafone customer support and they said that you can't delete the demo games from the Sharp GX17. Is this right?

You would think that Vodafone would support the handsets they sell. When I have a problem or query regarding with my phone I take it to Telecom and ask them, not Nokia. In fact Nokia don't want to hear about it.

Vodafone NZ are the agent for Sharp mobiles in New Zealand, it would make sense to contact Vodafone, would it not?

Righto, seems like I have to check my Warranty card for the Sharp phone support number?

When it comes to repairing/servicing your phone then yes, When it comes to usual user enquiries (ie: as asked above) then no.

That's probably because VF brand all their phones but I'd guess that it would probably get back to the phone vendor through Telecom or VF. =o)




Say what?

I well take a stab in the dark - The phone comes with a handset manager but you prob wont see the games folder its more than likely hidden.

*******BEWARE Playing in the folders of the phone can make it unusable prob voids your warrenty *************

Generally if you have a data cable / bluetooth dongle and are looking at the phone folders in Windows Explorer and under => folder options => View => tick show hidden files and folders.

You might see the hidden folders.

I do on my Motorola anyway.  I move my mp3 files like this to the phone instead of Vodafone Live charges.

Copy or move them, not sure what they are called or what folder they are in.

*******BEWARE Playing in the folders of the phone can make it unusable prob voids your warrenty *************

and yes Vodafone see products and services they do not sell or support phones.

Good, thanks Lipex666, I just assumed one could only explore the phone folders through the proprietary software. I will try your suggestion tonight.

Cheers

Steve
