Sharp GX10

...me tell you about the sharp gx10. This phone is available in silver colour.On the front cover of the phone there is an external display and an integrated camera lens at the bottom. There is a small mirror to the left. You can use this while taking a picture of yourself. It is necessary to open the phone to take shots. Near the mirror you will find a call indicator which begins to work while different events happen, for example while incoming calls. ...

Two volume keys are on the left hand side of the phone. There is nothing really interesting at the rear of the phone ...

Review of Sharp GX10

...They were offering the Sharp GX10 for an “amazing £49.99 to existing customers”. “Great,” I said. “What’s a GX10?” (Believe me when I say, I really am not up on this kind of thing!) “It’s that phone that Beckham advertises on tv – you know - the one that takes pictures,” the young man enthused. Now, without trying to sound sexist – I immediately (metaphorically and temporarily, ...
...off? Not with this Sharp little beauty. Once the battery and SIM are installed, install the charger and plug the phone in. Leave to charge for approx. 2 hours. After these simple steps have been followed, it’s then time to play – or, if you’re like me, you will already be ‘faffing’ about with it whilst it is charging. The Menu ======== Pressing a rather obvious ‘M’ button on the phone accesses the menu. ...

Review of Sharp GX10

...its the turn of the Sharp GX10. A lovely chrome phone 3 inches tall and over an inch think. A real 'is that a GX10 in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me'? The first thing you notice bout this phone is the digital camera at the bottom but more about that later. There's a tiny, tiny screen LCD display showing the reception, battery, date and time with a mysterious 'G@, all in all its one of the ugliest phones I've ever seen. When its flipped ...
...When you open it the first thing you see is my sons face covered in ice cream! But I'll cover that later. Its got the usual buttons, but the Menu's in the middle of a circle surrounded by arrow buttons. There's also two action buttons, plenty of things to fiddle about with. (I have dreams of fiddling about with 6 inchers!!) The left action button takes you straight to the message buttons, the right to vodafone online. The left direction button ...

Review of Sharp GX10

...plague. What phone? The Sharp GX10 as advertised by David Beckham as part of Vodafones’ campaign to promote their new service Vodafone live! The phone is small without being un-unusable measuring 94х49х27mm and weighs 110g with decent sized keys that blokes can use as well as women can. The phone can store a massive 500 names in the phonebook, shame I haven’t got that many mates; or if you, like me, prefer to store them on the sim you ...
...calls duration. On The Sharp you only get last call and all calls. I can check this on-line but I didn’t have to with Nokia. The phone must be switched on for the alarm clock to work. This again is, when compared to the Nokia, not exactly a deal breaker but as I am now charging two phones I can use the Nokia to wake me up and rest the ever-draining resources of the Sharp. At what price comes all this technology? I paid 149.00 GBP as I also took ...

Review of Sharp GX10

...the low down on the Sharp GX10. I have been with Vodafone for 5 years on contract. This year I decided to upgrade my phone. I’d seen the GX10 in the shops, retailing for around £150 (contract) to £350, bit too expensive for a phone. Anyway, I got a call from Vodafone who asked if I was interested in upgrading my phone with a ‘special offer’. The end result was, I got the GX10 for half price, (that's under £80) new sims, kept my old number, have access ...
...1 month free access!) The Phone Compact flip phone in silver colour, is not as heavy as other similar phones. Came with charger and hands free set. Flip lid prevents accidental ringing when in handbag. Front has display screen which illuminates when you close the lid or when a message / call is coming in. Numbers easy to use, very responsive. Flick it open, lights up immediately with whatever picture you’ve chosen as your screen display. Has navigation ...

Review of Sharp GX10

This phone is much more than a fashion statement; the range of features and ease of use suprised me and it surpassed all expectations. If there are to be a couple of minor criticisms of the phone, they would be, (1) There is an aerial, which for blokes can be a problem when you're on the go and trying to get it out of your pocket, and (2) In my experience with the phone I have found that you are unable to send mms via irda (infrared), however apart ...
...it to any one. The features are all clearly labelled and easy to access, they consist of: Messages - texting is easy, as the buttons are big and predictive text is an option and access to previous messages in your inbox is clear. There is also an option of having delivery reports on, so you can tell when the message you have sent has been recieved by the recipient. Camera - The camera is easy to use and is of quite a high quality but like most ...

Review of Sharp GX10

...you would also receive a sharp gx10 mobile phone on vodafone. now at the time these were £300 on a 'pay as you go' deal. however i understand they've dropped in price slightly over the last couple of months. the first thing that struck me about this phone was the weight, it's incredibly light and you're probably no even going to notice if you keep it in your pocket. it's a silver metallic design with a small lcd window on the outside to display time ...
...hard to play for an extended period of time. So the Sharp GX-10 is a decent phone that does its job for me. It's stylish, has some fun extras but for those who look for all the latest features on a phone it's probably not worth looking at. ...

Review of Sharp GX10

Upon purchasing the Sharp GX 10, I was the envy of all my friends-I had the new picture phone which everybody wanted! The price reflected that as well! With paying £120 on contract (£450 PAY AS YOU GO) I felt sure this was the phone for me! Okay, so let's review some of the features... Messages. I got to grips with how the messaging service worked pretty quickly, although Ive been texting since I was in nappies! It took a bit of getting used to ...
...Nokia's which made my transition into the world of Sharps all the easier! My mother on the other hand still only knows how to read them and not how to send them. Once message has been written, you have two options: Send or Save. I have experienced many traumatic times with these features! When we drink, we think it's such a good idea to text people, right? Well, Id got into the habit of saving my message so I could read it, and then delete it in ...

Review of Sharp GX10

...battery this is all the Sharp GX10 does! ..... And not a very good job at that also..... I charge up my Sharp and it hardly lasts 2 full days, where as I took my Nokia on my honeymoon, it was fully charged up before setting off. Only switching off twice for the journeys on the plane. The battery lasted nearly a full 8 days. There are probably some more let downs with this phone, as I will probably soon discover. Will let you know these extras when ...
...now. I'm probably annoying you as well as irritating myself thinking of any more inperfections. The fun stuff...... The games are quite good which come complete on this phone. These are PK Game - a football 'goalie' game, 'Collection Hunter' - similar to Pong, you know; the classic bat and ball game and finally 'Air Hockey'- similar to the football table game this time instead of turning the football players to kick the ping pong ball, you are ...

Review of Sharp GX10

...so disappointed myself with my Sharp GX1, I was a little unsure when to my horror my younger sister told me she had bought the Sharp GX10. She had paid £180 for this phone on eBay and was so excited about her new phone that I didn’t express my fears to her, instead offering to give this phone the benefit of the doubt being the next up inline of the sharp family of phones. When the phone arrived I instantly took to its design, it may be a flip phone ...
...at least it looks like Sharp took this into account after there bad efforts with the GX1 and made it better. What can I say for the camera… excellent quality for a camera phone, of course you will never get as good a quality as you would with a digital camera but for a small phone this is the works. It seems to handle all lighting changes well, and most importantly the images are viewable and have lovely colour. This phone also has vibrating alert ...

Review of Sharp GX10

REASON FOR THE REVIEW ------------------------------------- Now that mobile phone networks are allowing you to send Picture messages (MMS) across networks (i.e. O2 to Orange or T Mobile to Vodafone etc) and your not just stuck to sending them to friends that happen to be on your network I think the sale of camera phones is going to rocket. No more do you have to wait until you get back home to rub in how good your holiday was, just snap a few pictures ...
...selected foreign networks. The only UK network not to support picture messaging is Virgin, but that a whole new review! SIZE & STYLE – Although bigger than what we have been getting us to in the last few years, it’s still not a bad size. Nowhere near the “old bricks” of yesteryear, although you still might have trouble fitting it into your trouser pocket without getting a few strange glances. Actually I quite like the size of it, especially the ...

Review of Sharp GX10

I first found out about this brilliant phone when i was watching t.v. Mr David Beckham was advertising it, and must i say what a good job he was doing to! I didn't think much about buying it as i already had a Nokia 3330 that i was quite happy with. And when i say quite, i mean that there was a few things that i did dislike. i.e. the size, the age, the look. I then discovered that my mate had bought 1 on contract. "Its great!" she was telling me. ...
...and ran her battery down. I was ready 2 buy my own. It was addictive! I went 2 my local Vodafone shop just before Christmas and they had a special offer on. £100 for the phone and monthly line rentals starting at £25 (this could be changed after 1 month). My bills now roughly come to £50 a month but that includes line rently, 200 minutes free to vodaphone networks and land lines off-peck, 50 text messages, insurance, itemised billing and extra charged ...

Review of Sharp GX10

This is a very handy phone to have, with it's own built in camera. I bought mine when the were first released last year in October.The pictures it takes are fairly good quality and you can send them to another phone if you know someone with the same one. But you can also send it to another phone whiuch does not have the camera facility on it. They will recieve a web url and they go and see the pictures online. But they expire after 3 days or once ...
...your computer, but you need to buy a data cable which retails at £29.99 Writing text messages can be a bit of a pain as it has a built in dictonary and it thinks it knows what you are going to spell, but it never gets it right, you have to remember to turn it off by pressing the # key. Its a shame you can't turn it off permanently. There are some cool games to get on the phone you go online and pay about £5 per game and download them onto your ...

Review of Sharp GX10

I have used this phone for about two months now and have found it quite easy to use and very durable. I love to text and send pictures and this is easy to use. The only thing i have found to be a dissadvantage, where sending pictures is concerned is. If i take my own pictures, i cannot send them and some of the pictures i download cannot be sent! But, the picture quality is good! The sound quality is very poor and the volume isnt loud enough. I ...
...The phone looks good and i like the flip down front on it - This stops un-wanted calls being made! I dont know the full capabilities of the phone yet, i dont read too well! I suppose that is one problem with written instruction manuals. Those people that are dislexic dont get to know how the phone works to its full extent. The reception is fairly good. I havent been in a place yet where i do not get my calls or texes! The only thing is. If i am ...

Review of Sharp GX10

I got the sharp mob when it 1st came out. Not just because it was the Beckham phone but because there was a good deal (£49.99 with voda). It being the latest phone at the time and with a camera were also definite pluses. At the time of writing this however, 11 months later(approx) the sharp is not so hi-tec no more. But it is still my baby! It has a simple enough menu structure and my mates can always work it well enough to read all my messages ...
...sober human can work it just as well im sure. The camera is great, but the zoom isnt that "woah" because it just gets all dotty. and theres is 3 different sizes that it can be set to. There is a great amount of memory that can be stored. So my mobile is packed with the total entertainment kit of approx 20 pics, 30 ringtones and 4-5 games. Free ringtones are easy to get from wap if you know where to look. So it would be stupid to buy them! A hint ...
