Vodafone has added the Sharp GX30 to its range - the first mega-pixel camera phone for GSM networks

The new phone follows the Sharp GX10, GX10i and the GX20, some of the best-selling handsets in the Vodafone live! range. The state-of-the-art Sharp GX30 comes with a built-in CCD camera capable of taking one million-pixel high-quality images, the first of its kind in Europe.

For the first time on GSM networks, Vodafone customers will be able to take photographs suitable for print out and eliminate the need to carry a separate digital camera. Additional new features include a unique 262,144 colour large-sized LCD screen (four times the quality of the GX20), a removable SD memory card for greater storage and easy transfer, as well as an MP3 player, enabling customers to play their favourite music tracks on their handset.

The Sharp GX30 will be available in retail stores from March 2004.
