The
Sharp GX25 is a love-it-hate-it kind of phone. It has some great
features and some not so great ones. On the plus side, it's very
lightweight and compact, with an internal aerial, so great for keeping
in a pocket or bag. It's got one of the best screens in its class
with 262,000 colours and extremely high resolution (QVGA). You'd
need to pay quite a bit more to better the quality of this screen.
It also comes with excellent connectivity, including full Bluetooth™
support for wireless headsets and data transfer, in addition to
infrared and USB options.
However,
despite these great features, the GX25 is sadly let down by an average
camera and miserably small memory - just 2.1 Mbytes. It's a mystery
why a phone with the best screen in its class is so woefully unable
to take better pictures and then store more than a handful. There's
nothing else that's particularly wrong with the phone, and in fact
the camera isn't worse than average, it's just: why pay extra for
an exceptional screen when the phone's capabilities don't allow
you to make good use of it?
Connectivity: Bluetooth 1.1 (voice & data),
USB, IrDa
Triband
Size: 23.5 x 92 x 46 mm
Weight: 90g

Had this phone for a little over a year. Generally I was happy with
it, as with other reviewers, the limited camera resolution and memory
are major drawbacks. The screen, ease of use and surfing Vodafone
live! where quite good. However this phone has completely died on
me. I'd expect much better build quality than this. Also note that
the exterior finish isn't great. The silver around the camera and
the back battery cover scratch easily. Glad to have upgraded. Rating:

I have had just a couple of problems with the phone... Mainly the
fact that it can only store a handful of photos and that's it. I
have my own digital SLR for times when I need to take a photograph,
however a "spur of the moment" picture is sadly lost - normally
I'd resort to the phone's (very average) camera to take a couple
of snaps, but it turns out that it'll say memory full and refuse
to play ball. I also find that the "Fine" setting of the camera's
output still produces lots of JPEG nasties and some horrible compression
artifacts. I also found that the keys took some getting used to,
however ergonomics aren't THAT bad. On the plus side I absolutely
love the screen. The colours are rich and vibrant yet still realistic.
Also there's so much texture visible on photos that it's a shame
we can't zoom in. 2 years from when it was released and it still
looks decent and still has a higher resolution screen than 90% of
its competitors in the price bracket. Also, the UI looks pretty
cool but could do with some customisation as seen with the Sony
Eric. themes. They also didn't include a stopwatch which is a shame
but hey I worked around it by downloading a program from a 3rd party
on the WAP network. Ergonommics are pretty decent, but it doesn't
have any novel features to make it stand out, which is a shame.
The torch (activated by holding down the volume button) is excelllent
and is used very very often Rating:

I bought this phone last year off Ebay. For the price it was worth
it. The camera quality is fantastic and look great when you upload
them to the PC. It has a picture editor with different effects to
choose from and a melody editor. The downside is the memory, it
is pretty small especially when you're taking all those pictures
and it starts bleeping becuase the memory's full. But once you've
uploaded the pictures to the PC you can delete them off the phone
and make space, it isn't really the end of the world. It does look
very stylish and sleek, not like the average ugly antenna, grey,
bulky flip phone. =P Rating:

I've had my phone for about a year now and am happy with it. I've
got the red one and it looks fantastic! That said I only use it
for calls and texts, and I use the organizer/calender all the time.
So I can't comment on some of the problems some people have been
having with WAP etc. I would say that I am a light to moderate user
so generally charge my phone once every 3 or 4 days. This is my
second sharp phone, the previous being a sharp gx30. I think that
the interface is really quick and easy to use which is why I have
stuck with Sharp after having my gx30. The only thing I would like
to have had was MP3 playback capability, but as I said, I got my
phone a year ago and MP3 playback capability was rare back then.
So if you want a phone that small, light, easy to use and you're
not fussed about MP3 players, then this is a good choice. Rating:

If possible I would have given this phone 2.5 rather than 2. I bought
this phone on contract after returning from Japan where I had a
sharp mobile I was very happy with. I primarily got this phone because
of its looks, I was aware that it didnt have the many features of
my beloved Japanese 'keitai' but as Id ceased using them a few months
after getting that phone I wasnt too bothered about that so the
camera, small memory and lack of mp3 was no big deal, but having
a nice screen and good looking phone was. Ive had the phone a year
now, its worn fairly well and there have been no malfunctions although
it now has some visible 'bald' spots on the casing and the silver
foil on the menu button is peeling off. Ive never got the bluetooth
to work as the handset demands a code to connect to anything, vodafone
have been no help in locating this code so I gave up. Battery life
is nothing special and youll have to charge it every day if you
use it much for talking and play an odd game or two, or every other
day if you dont. The vodafone custom menu is miserable to use (much
like vodafone) and I really miss Sharps intuitive menu design but
theres no way to retrieve it sadly. The thing which has really tired
me of this phone though is the very s l o w processor. The phone
lags behind your key presses sometimes by several seconds. Type
in a number quickly and itll miss several letters even on 'maximum'
speed. The only time this doesnt happen curiously is when using
predictive txt (non predictive is as slow as everything else), and
thank god or I would have thrown it through a window. You can only
delete individual items or all items in a folder so if you want
to clear out the small inbox then its frustrating and laborious
as the phone lags behind your keypresses, taking an age to confirm
everything. I would recommend this handset for those who are looking
for a simple WAP phone because of its looks, clear bright screen,
and functionality. But the slow operation could well drive you to
distraction. Rating:

This is a good fone but it has problems like the tiny amount of
memory, lack of memory card slots. Also texting can be difficult.
also the sound quality is appalling from the speaker on the front,
really tinny and would not be heard in a noisy room and definitely
not in the street. However, camera is good and the screen resolution
is very7 good good colour displays your images very clearly. flash
is a waste of time to be honest unless at very close range. It is
a good fone but really for the price there should be a megapixel
camera and maybe a memory card slot. Rating:

Have had phone about a week and after a long line of Nokia phones
thought I would have trouble converting but no such problems. At
last a camera that is worth calling a camera and so tiny will go
in trouser or shirt pocket. Nothing in life is perfect but all in
all I think this is the best phone I have owned. Rating:

im in love with this phone! i got it in the week and have barely
left it alone! it takes great pictures (exept in the dark) bluetooth
is very useful and is an easy, compact phone to use. however...why
are 2 out of 3 of the games only demos! this has never been the
case with any of my previous phones, and the sound the phone makes
when taking a picture cannot be switched off, this isn't a major
problem but just seems a bit strange as even when the phone is on
silent and you don't want people to hear, they do! great value and
no regrets. x Rating:

Had about 5 phones up till now. This has got to be the best one
yet!! Everything about it is spot on. It is so cool looking and
small and light. The menus are very accessible. Gr8 sound on it.
Takes gr8 pics.If I had to be really picky and find fault with it
then it would have to be that the connection for recharging it can
be a bit of a pain to get into. Apart from that? Nothing! I would
reccomend this phone to eveyone. Superb!! Rating:

Wow!! Deal !!! was the mental reaction as soon as i flipped it open.
It was love at first sight, I am happy using it, fatastic phone.
But as with love at first sight, you miss small weaknesses. Where
is lacks is 3 places - No MP3 capability, Recorded sound cannot
be used as ringtone, Too small internal memory and no memory card
slot which means you have to be close to laptop as you go on shooting

Small, light and good size screen,,, thats the plus's done with...
Had the phone for 1week before the battery stand-by life diminished
2 a couple of days. Camera, not that great especially indoors. The
flash/light, complete waste of time, couldn't light the inside if
a match box.!!! Sound is of a poor quality to and the speaker viabrates.
It plays lots of audio file types but you can not use most of them
for ringtones etc. The reception is ok, but not of a Nokia standard.
OK phone but it quickly loses the "new phone shine" Rating:

This is a fantastic phone because it's got a very good, clear camera
and video. It also allows you to listen to your own voice or you
can record songs or other peoples voices. I give a five star because
it really is SHARP! The colour is lovley and the phone will still
be popular in 2012. It's worth buying so money well spent!!!!!!!!!!

Phone has all the benefits already listed but texting is a nightmare.
The keys don't register each stroke so I have to go back and edit
the spelling mistakes when Ive finished. I would think it was just
me but haven't had this problem with other phones Ive owned. Rating:

Having had the GX20 which had an absolute gem of a camera on it
was expecting similiar on this but no still the colours on the '25
stand out big time. Bluetooth is good for drivers or sending stuff
! Can be slippy (it has slipped out of my hand) - looks great and
is JUST on the edge of being a complete GIRLY phone ! Can also be
a bit of a pain to open with it being soo smooth and for this reason
I could probably get away with a GX15 ? But I wouldnt have a light
! As has been said MORE memory would give this MORE + yet cant see
why Sharp/Voda' dont include about 5MB instead of about the 2MB
you get. The Blue display is really attractive a ploy loaned from
Samsung ? Not needed are the Profiles or the amount (5) just 3 or
so would do ! Sound is VERY loud. The circular button/s is very
interesting with 4 buttons to press and activate various applications
once you've clicked on click-ons applications within menu's. The
WAPs good and have had it for 4months now since then have also bought
a copy spare batt. as Sharps aren't that good for charge time and
the lasting of it. Their is a genuine sharp mobile battery XN-1BT31
for the person wanting extended talk time but these cost ! Still
its a great handset. Rating:

Impressive phone let down by the shamefully small amount of memory,
just over 2Mb. One of the lightest phones I've ever held but looks
a bit too 'minimalist' for me. Ringtones sound a little too tiny
for me however you can browse just about all normal websites with
it. The picture and screen quality are very good and it also has
a flash - well, I call it a flash, it's a bright white LED which
stays on for as long as you need it. Annoyingly the light stays
on when it's charging which can be a bit of a pain if you charge
it at night in your room. Not a bad phone though. Bluetooth kills
the battery. Rating:

This is a brillant phone. With features that include a digital camera
with flash, video camera, infrared and bluetooth. The only bad thing
about the phone is that it doesn't have a active flip which is weird
as that's why these types of phones where mad in the first place.
Overall it is a fantastic phone. Rating:
