Allright! I received the GX20 two days ago, got it from ebay. I have to say it. THIS PHONE IS BEAUTIFUL. I've never seen such a clear screen, and I cannot imagine that even a 262000 color screen should be better. The colors display perfect. it's so bright, even at night when the backlight turns off I can still see the screen. Awesome sound quality. Pictures are better than with my 2.0 digital camera that I own (I'm not exagerating). Macro function is worth gold. I can't tell you guys how happy i am with this phone. it's got pretty much everything i need.

This phone is very good, the camera gives competition to the Nokia 7610 which is 1 M.P!!

Sorry K@zu, i havent got that problem, but sometimes my gx20 switches off by itself. This happens like every 2 weeks. Its really annoying when i am txt messaging or taking a picture.

To Stevlin,
What you said about the IR port being able to do file transfer from phone to PC is correct. And thank goodness for that too. What I meant, however, is the fact that, unlike most other phones with IrDA, the Infrared cannot be used to transfer media to other handsets. That is a big let down, as the other day a friend of mine had a picture from his holiday on his phone, but he couldn't send it to me because my IR port does not accept incoming connections from other phones!

Hey Naim, ive got one of these phones and you can use irda to transfer pics, tones, video from phones to pc, if you go into applications then down to PC LINK.
unbelievable phone truly the best phone i have use upto date, i want the gx30 now to see if it possible to get better.
and to I NOW ALL--- get a life, even the new nokias doent stand up the excellence of this phone, the only phone i have seent at has just as good a screen and pics is the p900 which is twice as expensive at leats and 50% heavier and chunky.
anything else is less than this.
i also work for VF and live kills other carriers take offs, but like EXPERT says find some alternative download sites.

This phone has loads of great features like the camera. However, it is such a shame that Vodafone have spoilt it by applying their stupid red-and-white theme to it (I mean what's the point of having a 65k colour screen, if the menu system only uses three of them??), and disabled file transfer with the IR port so that we have to use MMS instead to increase their revenue.
If Sharp stopped selling their handsets to Vodafone, this phone would be the ultimate GSM phone. At least, that's what I think!

Peter, the GX20 does allow you to edit pictures with stamps and effects eg sepia, emboss. It is a good phone in general. I havent had any problems with it.

I can accept comments made for and against this phone but to give a unbiased view. If you want a phone with a good camera as the absolute priority then get the gx20 or gx30(the latter is slightly more advanced but also slightly bulkier and heavier), as the camera is superb in the day and pretty good at night - a lot of slowdown on movement but brilliant flash which means you can take pictures even in a pitch black room(if for some reason you had to). It isn't the smallest flip phone around but it is light. No bluetooth is a big negative and the infrared is all but useless.
If your priority is for downloads such as applications, wavs, mp3s, truetones, games etc then I would get a nokia 3650 or 6600 everytime as they are by far the most compatable with most wap sites. The camera is also pretty good too. Both nokias are somewhat bulky phones though.
I own this phone and I use the camera a lot(especially in the bedroom if you know what I mean). I wish it had elements of the nokias as well but given the choice I pick the Sharp. Whatever float your boat really.

You get a little shitty game called bomblink which is absolutly crap, like the phone. The camera is terrible and the zoom is shocking. the disco light is just a cheapo gimmick. Sharp have let us down yet again and i think its time they quit the phone retailing and stuck to what there 'good' at. Vodafone live rips you off so i wouldn't use it. THIS PHONE IS A PILE OF SHIT

DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE, GET SOMETHING GOOD
