Sharp GX10i

...pay-as-you-talk. I got a Sharp GX10i. I paid £250 for it. Although, I have since seen it for sale for £219! This phone is exclusive to Vodafone. I did, in fact, by this phone from the Vodafone shop. The phone weighs in at 107 grams. To look at it is very sleek and pretty. It's grey in colour and has an oval shaped screen on the front which displays the time, date etc. It's one of those flip phones. It has the Vodafone logo imprinted on the front ...
...CAMERA The main reason I purchased this phone was because of the built-in camera. I have had a lot of fun with my camera! You will see the lens on the front of the camera. When taking a photo, just point the lens to the required shot, and you will see the movement of your camera on the display screen. To take a photo just press the main button which is situated above the numbered pad. Photo's take quite well, although I have noticed that it helps ...

Review of Sharp GX10i

I purchased this phone in November, after getting a new job and deciding to treat myself! Getting my phone out after purchasing this was no longer a chore, and became more of a necessity each time someone passed me or came over to talk (for a chance to show off my new mobile!). It’s a stylish phone, advertised by David Beckham, and is therefore a cool phone to have! It took me a while to get used to, but that is after upgrading from a phone from ...
...a little. After a few days, however, the phone and its features become more familiar and easier to use. It has a range of features, connection to Vodafone Live (internety thing!), polyphonic ringtones, a quality camera, java and normal games (preloaded and possibilities to add more) and MMS (picture messaging). Camera If I’m honest, this is one of the reasons I actually bought the phone – because I wanted one with a camera! After seeing friends ...

Review of Sharp GX10i

I recently acquired the Sharp GX10i on Vodafone contract from The Carphone Warehouse Direct free of charge on Anytime 200. I was a little bit worried about this phone because whilst its feature-set is very good, it is not as small as some competing handsets such as the Sony Ericsson T610 etc. Anyway, my phone was delivered to me and I excitedly removed it from the customised 'Vodafone live!' box. Basically, the GX10i is the same as the GX10 but ...
...displayed in the background. The Sharp GX10i has a 120x160 dot, 65,536 colour Transmissive TFT (Thin Film Transistor) LCD display. The display is clear although in daylight it can be difficult to see the display - especially if it's dirty. This isn't a problem unique to the GX10i, however, the problem seems to exist with almost every colour handset on the market at the moment. Whilst in stand-by mode, pressing the left 'hotkey' takes you straight ...

Review of Sharp GX10i

...you go, and bought the Sharp GX10i from The Link. It cost £249.99 and is available from most telecom stores, exclusively on the Vodafone network. It is also available free with some of the pay monthly contracts, so it is up to the individual to price the options and pick the one most suitable for their usage. The phone itself is very stylish indeed. An attractive grey colour you can really be proud of this one. In it’s folded up state it fits nicely ...
...weighing around the 110 gram mark. The front of the phone has a small display with the time and date on as well as the digital camera lens which is included as part of the phone. Open the phone up and you are presented with a large colour screen and a keypad with the buttons actually large enough to press - a novelty with some of the latest phones!!! The phone itself has so many options, so I think the best way to do this review is to list each ...

Review of Sharp GX10i

I originally purchased this phone because of the stylish perception of the phone and the association with David Beckham. However when I fully charged it I realised the phone was 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 ...
...and (2) In my experience with the phone I have found that you are unable to send mms via irda (infrared), however apart from this the phone is great and I would recommend 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 ...

Review of Sharp GX10i

...the phone is a Vodafone sharp G10xi I will first describe the phone!! Although you can see the pic!! The phone is gray in colour, and realistically now the phone is quite big and bulky (comparing it to the phones that are the same size as lighters) It’s a flip phone, on the front it contains a small visual screen which indicates signal, a box symbol with a G, which flashes when you are sending MMS or connecting to Vodafone live, then there is the ...
...also inform when you have received a message and when receiving a phone call it will flash the name / number of the caller. Also it will say if you have missed calls. When you get this phone it comes with an instruction book that is meant to help you learn to use the phone!! Though if you are anything like me I have never opened it – I prefer to learn by using!!! Which properly explains why I’m still learning stuff now months later!!!??? Anyhow ...

Review of Sharp GX10i

...the better things about the Sharp in that respect is that it's pretty sturdy. But sturdiness comes at the cost of weight. It's not exactly the lightest flip phone on the market. The GX10i is awash with features. But that seems to be its downfall. Sharp's designers obviously didn't consider that easy menu navigation was an important consideration. There are so many options and features available that the menus are a mess. It can be very difficult ...
...This is also a camera phone. The image quality is okay but don't expect to be able to get the same image quality as a dedicated digital camera (don't expect that from any phone). It has a single zoom setting but you have to remember that the zoom is digital. This means that the zoomed image files are bigger. However it does give a markedly improved image quality. The biggest problem with the camera is the update speed of the preview on the screen. ...

Review of Sharp GX10i

...and the other was the sharp GX10i. As I spend so much time watching TV I recognised the phone off the adverts with Davis Beckham strait away and decided I wanted it. After spending about 15 or 20 minutes playing around with it, I had pretty much got the hang of it, without even looking at the instruction manual, although it was a bit confusing after having had a Samsung before hand. The phone has the following features: Phone book - Large memory ...
...like a personal organiser with logos for mobile, home, office, fax, etc. Space for an email address, notes and a photo which comes up when receiving a call from the named person. Easy to add names and saves space since you can have 3 numbers under one name. My phone - (contains My java games, my pictures, my sounds, my bookmarks, my text templates & memory status). Not much to say about this. Self explanatory really. Camera - a great feature. The ...

Review of Sharp GX10i

Firstly I would like to explain why I find a few things annoying about this phone. Previously I have been very fond of Nokia handsets but saw this phone and thought '"hey a David Beckham phone" and really liked the flip style which Nokia phones do not have. The GX10i looks rather modern and doesn't have many choices in colour (which to be honest would probably make it look cheap if there were) The phone is rather large compared to other camera phones ...
...that you can actually see your pictures via your phone. The buttons are bright and the screen is very clear making it easy to navigate. The only thing there is no flip up button for the phone so you have to flip up the phone manually :S The camera is great in a good light as long as you are not moving very fast (one of the best phones for pics I have seen) You can easily send your pictures to other mms users and download them to your pc via a data ...

Review of Sharp GX10i

...wasn't planning on choosing the Sharp GX10i when I walked into the Vodafone shop. I had seen it on the David Beckham Vodafone ads, and thought it looked quite sleek and sexy, but considered it far too expensive for poor little me. Also, I was a dedicated Nokia user who found it very difficult to figure out how non-Nokia phones worked. The lovely boy in the shop went through the various Nokia phones, then mentioned the GX10i. I told him that I was ...
...of times (three I think) before it will send your text. Besides those minor qualms, I think the Sharp GX10i is a great phone. It is super easy to use, has lots of great features, and pretty cool in its flip-up greyness (grey is much cooler than silver!). ...

Review of Sharp GX10i

I recently received the sharp gx10i camera phone with my new Vodafone contract. The phone it self feels good especially when opening and closing (like captain kirks communicator in star trek). The camera is very good quality and easy to use compared to other camera phones I have seen. fitted with zoom functions and a delay timer it makes taking pictures allot easier. Pictures look fantastic with the large colour LCD screen, the phone will hold hundreds ...
...the touch of a button. You can even paste your own pictures as a backdrop on your main menu screen. Vodafone live is easy to use by pressing just one key you can access the latest news, polyphonic ring tones, games and more. Games with the phone are a bit poor all though you can down load many other games using Vodafone live (prices per game £1 - £6). SMS and MMS also very easy to use, but a bit pricey when sending an MMS (photo messaging) at ...

Review of Sharp GX10i

...to I opted for the Sharp GX10i and my how glad I am that I did. First of all when it was delivered I was like a kid with a new toy I opened the box very carefully and looked what was in it, Contents in the box was the phone which is slightly larger than other phones. it has a flip with quite a large colour screen and the keys are quite big instead of little fiddely things which most new phones tend to have. It is a metallic grey colour and also ...
...front. Also in the box was a CD Rom which I haven't actually looked at yet. A hands free kit which is very useful considering the new mobile phones and driving law. And of course the instruction manual. I began to read the manual and was quite pleasently surprised to read that you only had to initially charge it for four hours (usually around 16 hours with other phones) so I put it onto charge whilst I got stuck into into the Manual which I ...

Review of Sharp GX10i

I bought this phone a few months ago on pay as you go, can't tell you how happy I am with it, I’ve always been a nokia man, mainly because nokias are very easy to use, but since having this phone ill never look back to a nokia. It's neat and tidy being a greyish colour with a large COLOUR screen that I think is a huge advantage, specially if eyesight is a problem, it weighs approx 107 Grams which for a phone these days is fantastic, it's not what ...
...which isn't a problem, an LCD display screen on the front which displays, time, date, reception quality, battery life and also caller id when someone calls! Also what makes this phone stylish is that it is a flip phone, which to me gives it class, it has an in built Camera, which is of good quality, with a zoom function too! You can then hook it up to the computer and download pictures instantly through a cable (soooo easy). To take a picture its ...

The quality of the pictures is not excellent but it is very good, I got some great ones of the Fireworks. Your phone holds about 70 photos. In the My Phone section you can check how muich memory you have used for sounds, pictures and Java Games. The games it ...

Car- Loud but dosen't vibrate. Silent - No Sound. NB: All profiles can be edited. In the organizer part you can use a calculator (stylish design ...
