Good Points

Screen quality, camera quality, ease of use, MP3 player, audio quality when talking, quick, charge time, takes standard SD memory card and can take out/put in when on.


Bad Points

No speaker phone, alarm clock works only when phone is on, poor organiser, limited bluetooth/IR, reception patchy, battery life.


General Comments

In some ways the Sharp GX30i is not very good (see bad points). Reception is good if you hold phone low down when open, but if you put your hand too close to aerial (natural position) it drops significantly. Don't buy for business. Cannot link to PDAs, and alarm clock means you have to leave it on.

But in some ways it's fantastic. That screen is gorgeous and as it takes SD memory cards can upload all pictures to/from PC taken with main camera (if you download an image compressor).

Camera is good too, outstanding in good conditions, passable inside.

And it works as an MP3 player really well, sound quality not the best (limited choice of headsets) but faultlessly and 60 songs can be put on (256MB card added for 15 quid).

It's a good phone for texting and making calls, sound quality good and T9 although slow is effective.

It's flawed but for 100 on ebay this is as good as you'll get for the price!
