My GX10 was such a disappointment that I returned it after only 10 days. A real lemon of a design. But more of that later. As mobile phones get sexier and more versatile, one thing stands out: nobody comments much on how good they are as telephones – almost all the focus is on the non-telephone features, such as being a miniature games console or an electronic Filofax. This review is no different. AS A PHONE: So, first things first: The GX10 works fine as a phone. You can talk into it, you can dial numbers on it, receive calls, and it copes well enough with low signal areas. Also I found it nice to hold and to use, though some will ...  Read the complete review

I just obtained the Sharp GX10 free from Vodaphone with a new account. What I want from a phone is to talk, so don't expect me to comment on the camera or test messaging, games etc. I will say that I don't expect a phone camera to be any good and I wasn't dissappointed. I use a digital camera for the simple reason that I have more control over my pictures and if i want to send them anywhere, I e-mail them. It's tough sending a phone picture to people who don't have camera phones (or am I missing something? it doesn't matter) and it has to be lots cheaper even if you have a dial up connection. Apparently the expectation of the manufacturers was that ...  Read the complete review

The Sharp GX-10 is a compact flip phone (clamshell). Its a fairly old phone and it doesn't come with half the features that you get on new phones (eg: Satnav, gaming, touch screen etc). However, whilst those features are great, its not what everybody wants. I, like many, just wanted a basic phone for talking, texting and maybe taking the odd picture, and I think this is a good choice. SPECIFICATION: Built-in 110K pixel digital camera with 5 exposure levels and a 2 stage digital zoom with storage for up to 80 digital pictures. Actually the picture quality is remarkably good. Colour LCD screen 16 chord polyphonic ...  Read the complete review

Firstly it looks gorgeous! its sleak and a great technological jump since phones like the popular nokia 3310's. Body: Flip open silver case. Large full colour screen with flat surface buttons and a bright caller id screen when closed. A very sexy phone. Voice: Polyphonic ringtones are such an advancement on the mono bleeing from older phones. If you want the wow factor you have to hear and have polyphonic ringtones, which sound like music! (nearly). I couldn't seem to work the sound recorder to record my own sounds and the composer is only for the musically minded as it is way to complicated for me. But if you can read music then its ...  Read the complete review

I bought the GX10 two weeks ago and took it back to the shop today after 2 weeks of frustration. I have a dated panasonic in my loft which has been reliable for almost 6 years, and I am looking forward to getting it back down after my experiences with the GX10. Digital Camera Admittedly, taking pictures was great fun, although there's no way you could capture anyone other than in a blur unless they stood statuesque still, but that's okay I guess. The renaming of photos, storing of photos, assigning photos to your phonebook to allow their picture to appear when a friend calls is all good. Unfortunately, despite multiple attemps to send a ...  Read the complete review
