Sharp GX20 and GX30

I'm looking to get a new phone and kinda like the look of the Sharps.

Anyone got any views on these or offer any alternatives that are similar.
I prefer the flip up phones rather that the other type.

Cheers,
Rich.

Gx30

Got my Gx30 last month and to start with i did'nt like it at all, In fact i went to the Vodaphone shop to see about swopping it for a Nokia, But the bloke in the shop surgested i give it a week just to see, And i'm glad i did. Its a cracking phone when you get used to it, Picture quality's good, Sound's are some of the best you'll hear, But the best thing is the SD card, Which means you can take the card out off your phone, Stick it in to your computer (using a card reader, about a tenner on the high st.) and put in your own wallpaper, music and even ringtones. Its so good there's already two wed sites dedicated to the Gx30. Gx30.com & Gx30.co.uk I hope this helps!!
PS. I dont know anything about the Gx20.

If you want a cameraphone with a good screen the GX30 is the best out there at the moment. The screen is awesome and nothing from the likes of Nokia or Sony Ericsson can compete with it. However the user interface could be improved.

I have owened a gx20 for almost a year now. In august it will be able to change my phone when my current contract runs out. I will probably upgrade to the gx30 or if there is a gx 40 then that one instead. Never had any problems with my sharp at all

No, don't buy the GX30 it's horrible. It doesn't even let you add words to the T9 dictionary, plus it's locked down so you can only load games etc via GPRS/GSM.

Nice phone but ruined by vodafones greed.
