Very nice phone for a very nice price. One thing that drives me crazy is the camrea shutter sound, it can't be disabled. You need to upload a hacked firmware to disable it. Other than that, it's great, I recommend it.

This phone only has 1.3MB thats right less than a floppy disk, my phones blue tooth works fine with other phones and wireless hands free. Most applications don't work videos etc over 100kb can't be sent to the phone either. Good quality esp the camera and screen but it has very limted features and memory. Its simple and so is the price.

wow just discovered a great option on gx17. keypad can can be used as shorcuts for menu items... its not mentioned anywhere in manuals.
although theres no visible shortcuts possibility - while scrolling through menu items if u press corelating number on your keypad with a menu item position (1,2,3...) it opens it :) u dont have to bother scrolling with navigation keys and opening with centre key

hey! bought the gx17 couple a days ago...
all in all a great phone for the price with good connectivity options and personaly unique sharp design.
only turn offs so far for ppl who think of buying it:
- the battery cover is hella hard to open so a possibility of damage. have good nails ready!
- couple of options in the menu are automaticaly connecting to vodafone so bit of a slap on your budget untill u learn u dont need to pay 50cents per pressing unknown options in your phone
- what ever ring tone u set, when called it starts with a silent beep and then the sound accending so ur doomed to miss hearing the first ring... veeery inconvinient if your mobile network automaticaly turns on your voice mail after 4th ring.

i really think you don't have a clue on using a phone if you dare sayin' that the BT or the IRDA ar hard to use/configure. but that's just my personal opinion. i use it with my PC and my PalmOne and everything is OK. buh bye

I have this phone for about a month and a half. Bluetooth is working perfectly, i have a bluetooth adapter to connect it to a PC and it's great. It also connects to other phones. I still haven't found something bad with this phone. Everything is working.

Ok, there has been many questions on how to connect to the supplied Handset Manager software with bluetooth and I too have had to search forums because of the absence of support for the software but here is the solution. Actually it is kind of copied from a few pages back on this forum but...... You must select connectivity...Pc Software...Bluetooth then use your bluetooth software (usually supplied with USB dongle) to search and pair with your phone. Then you have to select to use the phone as a serial port. Take note of the Com port number assigned and make sure the handset manager is looking for that port. Any questions email me at tommyg@curl.aunz.net because it was very difficult for me to figure out in the first place.
