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

- The camera on this phone is great. Anyone who says anything is better, apart from the GX30's 1MP Cam is WRONG. The Quality is EXCELLENT. Samsung cameras are crap compared to this.
-There is hardly any difference between the GX20's 65K screen and the GX30's 262k screen. I own BOTH. The resolution is superb and the display is nice and bright.
-YOU CAN EASILY transfer images, sounds and videos using the software on the cd. The phone has an IR data transfer mode which works with IR enabled computers. YOU CANNOT SEND FILES to other phones and PDAS using IR. You can only use IR as a modem.
- The ringtones are VERY loud. Once again, the people saying they are quiet are talking out of their ass. Midi ringtones are supported, and they play great quality.
-The JAVA supports almost EVERY java game available for similar handsets.
-Battery life is great too, only a 2 hour charge lasts a whole day.
-For those saying this is a boring handset - SHUT UP. It has some great fun features to explore, including disco lights, games, image editor, ringtone creator.
-It has a solid design, with excellent build quality.
To be honest, anyone dissing this phone is obviously jealous. I work for Vodafone, don't know about the other guy who said he did. There are very few phones that are up to the standard of this. I'll admit that Vodafone are doing a lot to make you pay for ringtones, games and backgrounds - but do some searches for some wap sites in google and you'll get lots of cool stuff for hardly anything.
Many people have problems deciding between this and the GX30. To be honest, the GX30 is hardly better than this. The camera is slightly better, and the mp3 is limited to 128kbps CB MP3S. Bluetooth doesn't support file transfer, and you cannot have mp3s as ringtones. I'd wait for the Next Sharp installment (prob Sharp GX40)

This model sucks. Not good at all. I changed Samsung E715. So nice. Better pics. Better colour. Everything better
