Advantages: Very easy to use, long battery life

Disadvantages: Casing is easily chipped

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 ringtones

JavaTM: You can download applications and games.

Other features: Feature rich external and flip up displays and side volume control, camera shutter release and call answering.

Comes as standard in Silver only.

The weight is 110g and it measures 27 x 94 x 49 mm

The buttons on this model are raised so its really easy to text. The screen is fairly small and is colour. I think the battery life is outstanding and I often dont have to charge it for days at a time.

One bad thing about it is the casing, it chips pretty easily and kind of looks a mess now.

Sharp phones aren't very readily available in the UK anymore which is a shame as I find them reliable and extremely easy to use. You can still pick these handsets up on ebay etc - I think its a good starter phone or good for an older person due to ease of use and fewer confusing features!

Summary: Good basic phone
