Advantages: Clear telephone conversation, Easy to type on

Disadvantages: Has not stood up to wear, Editing text is not eay

I got my GX10 free last April, well it wasn't exactly free I had to pay £60 I seem to recall and Vodafone gave credit for the amount. I would rather get cheaper calls then a posh phone as I use the phone for making phone calls and occasional text message.

As a phone it is very good it transmits clearly and you can hear the other person on the other end really well with no interference. The keys are large and easy to use and the phone book is easily accessed using up and down arrow keys although to make a call you need to press the dial key twice, once to select the number the second time to dial. I think this is a pain although I guess having to select the number first minimizes error

Writing text is so easy on the large screen, as with dialing the keys are quite large and need to be pressed quite firmly so selecting characters you do not require does not often happen. however editing text is a pain, you can only select gaps or full words using the left or right arrow keys so if you want to get to the top of the screen in a long sms it takes a while.

I taken 6 or so photos but can’t get them onto my computers. the gx has an ir eye that happily communicates with my computer but because their is no software available there is nothing you can do with that function. aparently there is software available on the net but i have I failed to locate it. MMS messages fails and i am not sure why. i spent days trying to send up my e mail address from mms but i could not get the @ sign to appear in the address line. i eventually used phonebook to set up a e mail address but it still will not work.

I bought a leather case for the phone but it was a pain to answer the phone if it was in the case. so i carry it in my pocket. The phones' silver outer casing has stood up poorly to living in the pocket although I made effort not to have keys and coins together with the telephone. still the case is now scratched and does not look to
good

I would like a little light to flash on it so in the dark I could locate it easily.

I am looking to change provider at the mo, nearly changed to Orange but a free text offer finished £15 for 30 mins is too much.


Thanks to Mrs Canada for suggesting an edit
