It may well be that the Sharp is formatting the card to a non-standard, and from what I read that does sound very likely. It should format like a floppy disk i.e. FAT format. The PC will also read FAT32 and NTSC but as far as I know no mobile phone will.
Mostly, formatting with the handset is just to make sure that the correct directories/folders are placed on the SD card (i.e. images, audio, video etc). As yours appears to be doing the same as the originator of this thread (kazza) it does rather read like the Sharp is the culprit. I've not got a 903 to play with so cannot validate this though.
If it is indeed the Sharp 903 formatting the SD to a non-PC standard then you're stuffed as far as reading the card from anything other than a PC-connected Sharp 903.
Do let us know what you find, please.
