You can see who is calling on the external screen, and you could turn it down using the side keys when its closed. So I don't really accept that as a valid reason why it doesn't have active flip. But like I said, its a great phone in just about every other respect. You'll like it.

I am buying this phone tomorrow. I have a friend who has it and they say the reason why it doesn't answer when you open it is so you have the choice whether to reject or answer the call or turn the sound down while it is ringing if you don't want to answer the phone. Makes perfect sense to me. Hopefully I'll like everything else about the phone, like most of you :o)

Hi there,
Could anyone help - I got my first wap alert on my GX25 recently and closed the screen without deleting anything and now the wap alert icon is permanently on my screen. I've searched through live! but I can't find any way of accessing the alerts and to delete them.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I've read the suggestion on this forum but I can't find 'message' once I go to options in live!
Thanks

I have this phone you can answer it pressing any key (I think). I always press the side button that says Answer. Trust me whenever you are in a group and you get this phone out and compare it to everyone else's you will always win. All the latest phones 6230 by Nokia which everyone has is not a patch on this, this has excellent video recording as well. Fantastic picture quality, it doesn't open as easily as a Samsung e700 though but other people are always jealous...

U by 2, U put 1 on top of the other (sorry for the silly joke, just couldn´t resist it)
I´m afraid there isn´t a way to increase the memory on this phone. Cheers.

I've had the GX25 for about a month now. A few of my posts appear earlier about the open-to-answer feature. For STEF:
The phone cannot do this. The best it can do is having the any key answer function selected, then pressing the side buttons (or any other) when you open the phone. Its the biggest disappointment for me, I really expected it to have this feature, I didn't even think to verify this at the store.
I'm not sure I understand exactly what Jidane means below. I live in the UK, and just about every flip/clamshell phone I've ever come across has the open-to-answer/"active flip" function. The Motorola T720 I had TWO years ago had this function!

With regards memory, I've reached the limit with about 80ish medium (240*320) pics, and nothing else. I've bought myself a bluetooth dongle to transfer and send them to freinds, I've had a problem connecting, but the post below by Antmoll should hopefully sort this out..Thanks!! I don't really play games on it. I would like to get Tetris for it though...

In general, I'm happy with this phone, as I'm happy with the tarriff I'm on. (Which is more important I think) The camera quality is great, even in low light (I've got a few good photos from inside nightclubs), but the subject MUST be still. The 'shutter speed' is too slow for action shots. I don't use it for videos, maybe because there's not enough memory to bother, maybe because I'm not interested...who knows?
Its light, the batterys OK compared to my old phone (need to charge every 2 days with normal use [for me])sound quality and signal are both good. Perhaps the phone isn't as flexible as it could be, but for me, its OK. Just a shame about the active flip problem....

hey i would firstly like to thank everyone who replied to my question regarding the GX. I now own one and am very happy with it. To Answer the storage question i have only about 4 30second mp4's and 50 or so photos which works out ok cause, i just put everything straight on the computer, as for ringtones and stuff im not too sure cause i haven't played around with it that much yet. Thanks once again to everyone who replied cheers!

I love my Gx25, but theres one problem, I dont think there is enough memory, and i want to trade videos with my mates, and my mates phone has a big memory, and i am wondering whether you can upgrade your memory e.g. going to a shop to get the done with my memory.

I got my fone for only $100 off my cousin and what more can i say, im "greatful" for this fone. Over here its worth $499.00 NZ stuff that I aint wasteing my money on a fone worth dat much! But anyways Im happy with the fone its only really for texing and emergency calls, the cameras fantastic and u shouldnt worry bout the 2.1MB jus use your common sence and get a USB bluetooth 4 your PC then send all your data there. Fink wisely dont be fussy.

for stef
on the highest res you can save about 25 fotos, bit unlacky but it doe not play mp3s you would have some luck with getting a data cable and getting some midi files to play, and with midi files being so small you should be able to store a couple on the phone ......understand that this phone has a limted memory that cant be expaned.

To RICK

I would recommend GX25. I was using K700i befor I bought GX25. K770i is very sluggish. the keypad is very hard and uncomfortable. Although it has more memory to store files, the camera is not even the same quality as GX25. GX25's camera is excellent for VGA quality. The display, of course, is better in GX25 than K700i. (i mean really much better!)

hope this help
