Want a disco in yer handbag?! Buy a GX20!!!

Advantages: Digital and Video camera, Games with fantastic graphics, Cool tones, looks rather swish!!!
Disadvantages: Quite large in size

...I recently upgraded to this..... the almighty Sharp GX20...... so new and fantastic even David Beckham has one!!! :o) The phone is very easy to use. It does not take long to master the menu map and if, like me, you had it's little brother, the Sharp GX-10 or GX-10i then it'll take you about 5 minutes to work it out. The main feature on this phone is its amazingly clear colour screen. As far as colour screens on mobiles go this is the bee's knees. The GX20 weighs in at 105 grams, which is slightly heavier than a lot of phones on the market at the moment although it is 105 grams or pure mobile entertainment. You can store up to 599 names, numbers and e-Mail addresses (500 on the phone and 99 on the SIM), you can even add pictures to peoples profiles. So, for example, if your sister's ringing to yell at you cos you borrowed her...

Sharp GX20 - The Phone for the Future

Advantages: Stylish, Fun & Easy to Work
Disadvantages: Not the smallest phone in the world!!!

...The Sharp GX20!! What can I say?? Well, what's the first thing you do when you get a phone!! Look at it!!!! The phone looks very stylish, although as already stated - it's not the smallest of phones (at least you won't lose it). It has both internal and external display screens. Very classy, huh? Load of functions too!!! I'll go through them all!!! A great colour screen of a good size to start with. An easy to use menu screen - not at all complicated although I wouldn't have this phone as one of your first. Camera :- Has both a digital camera (can be downloaded to your computer - all software is included) and a video camera which also records the sound. Great fun for embarrasing others after a night out!! ;-) The camera quality is very good - better than any other camera phone that I have seen; although the subject has to...

Review of Sharp GX20

A samsung you can`t text on!

Advantages: See review!
Disadvantages: hard to find any!

...This is my first camera review in quite some time, the main reason for that is simply that I have not been using anything that stood out from the others I have reviewed with more and more DSLR`s becoming more and more similar it takes a professional (which I am) to figure out the tiniest differences from one to another. All that changed a couple of weeks ago though when I got my hands on the new Samsung GX-20. This camera came on the market in this country in January this year (2008) and for me brings with it something a little bit special, it's not even that it has new and amazing features although there are a few it is that it brings together all the different features offered into one fantastic camera. WHAT`S NEW AND EXCITING? The stand out features for me are firstly the massive 14.6 mega pixel image sensor which firmly puts...

Review of Samsung GX-20

A Phone Which Defies The Laws Of...A Mobile Phone

Advantages: Sleek design
Disadvantages: Only Vodafone

...If anybody said that this is just the normal average phone, they ought to think twice. The Sharp GX20 is in my opinion the most lucrative phone ever to grace on British land. Its features are second to none and it is difficult to criticise such an innovative phone. I bought this phone at a mere £350 from my local shopping centre, hoping to get the utmost in quality by the so-called ?ultimate phone?. Having opened the box, I could not believe the small size for a phone which had numerous sophisticated features. First of all, the most complimentary feature is the camera. It surpasses all similar technology advances of its kind (e.g. Nokia7250) to bring you a camera supporting a screen capable of 65,000 colours and an ultra high-resolution of 480x640, bringing you each and every pixel in complete precision. Unlike the previous...

Review of Sharp GX20

Is it Safe to leave Nokia Land?

Advantages: Looks good, excellent camera, great games
Disadvantages: text, feels top heavy, alarm!

...First I will start by stating I always buy Nokia for numerous reasons, I tried a Sony once and it lasted a day before exchanging it for a Nokia. I've again ventured out of the mighty land of Nokia. I plumped for the Sharp GX20 as I read numerous reviews on the web raving about the phone and it's features. Once the phone arrived first impression was that it looked very stylish although I had reservations about the size, although small in height it's quite chunky and it felt quite heavy even without the battery in. Battery and sim installed I started to have a good fiddle about. The menu system although very easy to use is not as good as the Nokia menu system, Nokia is king there and I won't harp on about it. What I like about this phone . . . . Camera, first time i've used a camera phone and the experience was...

Review of Sharp GX20

Very flash phone, some important drawbacks

Advantages: Very nice resolution, design, front screen
Disadvantages: texting, only on vodafone

...I was a previous gx10 user for about a year and then recently have upgraded to this model, so in this review I will be often talking from a point of view of whether it was a worthwhile upgrade. I've also never owned a nokia so my only experience for comparison will be limited from other people's phones. Advantages of the gx20: The thing that impressed me the most as soon as I opened this up was the amazing increase in resolution over the gx10, both in pixels on the screen and on the camera. While the screen pixels doesn't make so much of a difference being able to get in more detail on the camera at long range is definitely a big advantage. The camera in itself is a big advantage of the phone, while not quite up to the megapixels of phones in Japan and the most recent models here it's surely a big step up from the gx10 in terms...

Review of Sharp GX20

An unexpected decent camera phone

Advantages: good size, good camera and sound, easy to use
Disadvantages: battery doesn't last long, needs a steady hand to take pics and videos

........The digital camera facility has a 3 stage digital zoom feature and the results are then displayed on a 65k colour LCD resolution . The GX20 also has a full colour external display which you can configure yourself with the clock and the wallpaper. It comes with a rechargeable Li-ion battery, a charger, hands-free kit, CD-ROM and a user guide which I must admit didn?t use much, better to play with the phone yourself and learn how to use the different features. Many think that the size is a bit bulgy but I find it quite reasonable as I think that small phones are difficult to handle as the buttons and keys are too small to navigate. It?s silver with an external colour screen which you can personalise and see who?s calling, if you are having a picture of the person, without opening the phone. The camera is located central to the phone, above the TFT...

Review of Sharp GX20

Wish I Still Had This Phone

Advantages: Brilliant camera, durable, large screen, excellent reception
Disadvantages: small selection of tones, fat

...I got this phone passed down from my brother as he got a new one a few years ago now. So I have been using this phone up until christmas 2006 and it has been great. The camera is the best part about this phone as it takes amazing quality snaps day or night. I don't know what mega pixels it had but all of my mates with new phones were all very poor quality compared to the quality on the GX20. The durability of it is amazing. I can't believe the number of times I actually dropped this phone and it came away with no, or very minor marks on the case. Even at the start of December 2006 I actually dropped the phone in the road, and the phone got ran over by a car, knocked a good 50 feet, in the rain. It took me around 20 minutes to find all the pieces (battery, back cover, phone itself). Gave it a quick dry with a towel and it still...

Review of Sharp GX20

Sharp-Elegant and sexy

Advantages: Amazing Camera Quality as always from Sharp(Sharp Gx 20 and up)
Disadvantages: Vido Recording is only 15 seconds and the battery life isnt really my cup of tea.

...Sexier and more amazing with a bigger screen than the Gx10 and 10i,a better camera and more improved keypad. I've reviewed this phone to see if Sharp has finally cracked the problems that plagued the GX10. It must be hard developing a phone once you've got a solution that works. Yes the GX10 had its problems; mainly annoying menu navigation buttons and the lack of Bluetooth, but on the whole the GX10i proved to be a good phone, with a bright screen and plenty of memory to cope with applications. The GX20 still keeps the flip up design, even though it's a little wider. The Exterior mono LCD has been replaced with a colour screen and this now displays additional information like the date as well as the signal and battery strength. As before, the Sharp offers a digital camera for picture messaging and this time around the camera has...

Review of Sharp GX20

The high tech solution

Advantages: It has almost everything!
Disadvantages: Except Bluetooth

...The Sharp GX20 is without doubt the finest peice of kit you can get today. It does not have bluetooth, but I think that this is an overated tool, I had a T68i, with blue tooth, I used it only about three times, I find the IR port much more useful as most Laptops have this capacity whereas only a few have bluetooth, and sometimes you get conflicts between bluetooth versions 1 and 2 and between bluetooth and wireless network cards. So that little thing out of the way, I will now describe the phone. The main LCD is huge, bigger than any other phone I have seen and bigger than some PDA screens. It is phenomonally clear, better than my digital camera, this is the best technology I have seen. I have a samll problem in that I live in a country area poorly served by Vodafone, so I cannot say anything about the reception, only that I...
