The
Sharp GX15 is a compact candy-bar design phone with a good range
of features.
The
integrated VGA camera does not have the resolution of the more expensive
Sharp GX30, being only 350,000 pixel resolution, but it is still
an excellent camera by comparison with other camera phones. It also
has a video recorder capable of recording video clips with sound.
The
screen is of excellent quality with 65k colours, and uses TFT technology
for a bright vivid display that is clearly visible even in sunlight.
The screen is physically large but the resolution is limited at
120 x 160 pixels, so not as sharp as the GX20 or GX30. However,
in the entry-level camera phone class, this is one of the best screens
available.
The
user interface is icon-driven, intuitive and easy to use.
The
GX15 comes with 40-voice polyphonic ringtones that are of very high
quality and it supports Java™ applications, which means that
games and other applications can be downloaded. The memory is quite
limited at just 1.8 Mbytes, which is not a lot for storing video
clips, photos, ringtones and games.
Finally,
the GX15 has full Bluetooth™ wireless support. One of the disappointments
of the GX30 was that the Bluetooth support was limited to connecting
a wireless headset. The GX15 also allows Bluetooth communication
with a PC and other Bluetooth phones. This enables you to transfer
photos and videos to a compatible PC or laptop.
Inevitably
the GX15 is going to be compared with the Sony
Ericsson T630. The phones look similar, are almost exactly the
same size and weight and have almost the same features. The GX15
does not have the smart looks of the T630, but it has all the features,
with the addition of a video camera. Overall, this is an excellent
value phone that offers video recording, full Bluetooth functionality
(plus infrared and USB), an excellent screen and triband operation
in a neat and lightweight package.

This is a decnet phone. The battery length is fine, the sound is
fone, the camera is fine, the screen size is nice and big, it has
all the features except mp3. To get a phone with bluetooth, WAP,
GPRS, etc. for the price you can is brilliant. On the downside the
memory is fairly small - I have 50 pictures, 30 ringtones, 2 games
and 7 (10 second) videos, and it almost full-up. Not a phone to
get if wanting lots of memory but i paid £90 when i got mine
and i am delighted by it (had no problems with it) Rating:

Got the phone as a free upgrade from Voda, now i know why it was

i've never had to hold a button as long. CAMERA The camera isn't
even VGA, very jerky vision when trying to take a picture and the
quality has only two settings, either OK or FINE (which is not that
fine), the Video is worse, only lasts enough for a very short video
message or about 8/9 second of longer recording. Again quility is
poor. MEMORY What memory? It has about 1Mb, my Samsung E-700 has
8Mb, that's right, 8X, considering this is a new phone it is lacking
some vital stats there. FEATURES Granted the phone has a lot of
features such as WAP, IRDA, USB (but you aren't supplied with a
cable), BLUETOOTH (nothing supplied there either, and no hands free
kit [should come standard these day with the law]) and of course

Don't let yourself convince by the negative reviews on this phone.
The screen quality is excelent, those who are not happy with the
erginomy of the buttons are probably people who needs keyboards
the size of a 1980's cell phone and those who complain about the
size of the memory or the quality of the pictures do not take into
consideration the very reasonable price of this excellent GSM...
That becomes outstanding if you take into consideration all this
phone offers (camera, video, bluetooth and very nice features+ sober,classy
design in excellent materials). Really a five star for smart buyers
who don't need/want flashy kitsh cell phones to show-off... It's
a chic, simple to use , high quality and reasonable priced phone! Rating:

This phone was purchased as a (relatively) cheap replacement for
a water damaged Nokia of ancient heritage. This phone is small and
the ladies will have many problems, I suspect, in finding it in
their handbags. Before purchase I was a little concerned at the
size of the keys but it is surprisingly easy to use despite having
large male fingers. The menu is easy to navigate and, generally,
logically laid out. Predictive text seems to work OK although I've
never been a fan of it. The pictures are quite adequate considering
the resolutions available and Bluetooth works without problems for
moving sound and picture files as well as being able to maintain
the contacts offline and send SMS messages via the PC. I haven't
yet tried it on handsfree but can see no reason why it shouldn't
work. Infrared connects with my PC but I haven't used as I haven't
loaded the IR version of the Handset Manager software. For me, the
memory capacity hasn't been a problem - how many ringtones and pictures
do you want to keep on a phone anyway when it's so easy to offload
them onto a PC? The only annoying thing I have found is that you
cannot turn off the shutter sound - probably to stop clandestine
photos being taken! Overall an excellent phone for the money. Rating:

What can i say, I boughht this phone a week ago. Its really sweet.
I love the wap. The screen is huge I think and super bright, It
great in the daylight too. Great fun , light weight and small, great
looking. it has a plug for the charger at the bottom so no connection
ports are expossed. A+++. Joy stick isent as bad as allthese reviews
say. real fun, stable, hasent crashed yet. They software for the
infared is great. automatically updates all your junk and links
your fone book to outlook so you can have just one phone book. Super!
best fone i think in its range. Bluetooth. what can i say, I sent
my mum some photo's thru a brick wall. She didnt know what was going
on. great fone. Rating:

Nice looking phone. Not bulky. Very light. Buttons very close together.
Centre key(joystick/navigation) is awkward to use. Auto keylock
is erratic! Menu structure for deleting messages is not great as
you can too easily delete all messages instead of just the message
you've looked at. Prefer my old GX10. Rating:
