                      Just want to say sharp gx17 is a rugged phone... it's really a phone that worths it's money......... but one thing that would have made me rate the phone a 100% is if it had a memory card port and true tones could be used as a ring tone.........

                      But in a nut shell I'll rate the phone 85%

                      But I Love the Phone for all qualities it has

                          I had this phone for 2 years now, it's great value for money, it's camera it great, considering the price, and the battery life is very good. Bluetooth, infrared services are very good too.

                                  I bought the SHARP GX17 at the start of 2006 for $350, it can now be bought in NZ for around $170. my GX17 served me quite well for the last 2 and a half years, but i think it's finally dying on me, so am upgrading to the LG Shine KU970.

                                  This phone is extremly durable, and works just as good as it did when i bought it (except the battery only lasts less than a day at the moment, and only gives me 15 minutes calltime, but that's the battery at fault) even after many, many, MANY incidences where i've dropped it on concrete and ashphalt and in attemp to catch it ended up swatting it right across the ground.

                                  the inbox is a bit slow when opening when it gets to about 3/4 full, but this can easily be fixed by emptying your inbox, or if you're like me and like to keep messages, then just suck it up and wait, *laughs*

                                  when i first got this phone it irritated me that you could only have 30 seconds of voice / video, which means downloading $7.00 songs only gave you a 30 second clip of the song.

                                  this phone is very common now in NZ, but when i first got mine, i recieved many compliments about it, as it is quie a nice looking phone... untill you've dropped it so many times the paint is almost all scratched off (see above)

                                  the paintwork on my round menu / enter button also wore very quickly, though to be fair, i do often have long nails.

                                  the camera isnt the best, but again, at the time it was right up there.

                                  this phone has a very, very small memory capabiliy (micro... nano... pico- ly small, lol) but it WORKS SO WELL.

                                  the SHARP GX17 has a very simple and user friendly interface, making it very suitable for older or 1st phone users.

                                  = )

                                  if you're not after music players or fancy cameras, the SHARP GX17 would be a good and cheap choice, i do recommend it, even though i've grown out of mine
