I purchased this phone in year 2006 and I am still currently using the phone. (It has been four years already). I have dropped the phone a number of times, been in the raining and it still works fine. If you just needed a phone for txting and calling, this phone is for you.

Whilst having my blackberry storm, Vodafone gave this to me as a temp phone. It got the job done for the week whilst i didnt have my blackberry. But if i had have to have this fone any longer it would have driven me nuts

For the price of this phone, i beleive its good, but ive had it jsut over a year and im finding it rubbish now. The screen scratches very easily and it gets craters quickly. Just a few hours ago i fell of my bike and it is completely ruined! Works extremely slowly and its scratched up. It has a very good screen though. Good colours! I also do not like the tiny keys, and its not a lovely looking phone. I think its a good camera for a kiddy, but i use my phone a lot and its not doing me justice.

I love Sharp GX17 but there is a problem is that his memory is so small that I can not even shoot a scene for my child's birthday, which lasts 05 minutes. I apologize for the remark

My mobile phone can hold up to 100 pictures and can do what most of other new mobile phones can't. It is easy to control and when and even though I dropped it lots of times before it still works unlike newer mobile phones and that is what all my best friends that have a GX17 say!!!

I have had the GX17 since May 2005 and have found the camera pathetic (pictures are far to small) and it is playing up now it is out of warranty. Lest than 2 years use is pathetic.

I think many people totaly disagree about mobile phones because thier use is totally different. This phone isn't meant for those who stay all day long taking pictures and videos. At its low price the camera etc., are a luxury. If somebody wants a really good phone, must go for the top of the range and spend much much higher price.

two things dissapoint me about this phone. 1, the ringer volume is way too quiet even when at maximum. and 2, there is no audible missed call or "unlooked at" text beep. This means you may have a text unnoticed for hours or even days. Unless you look at the phone you will not know. Except for the above it's great

The only things i don't like about my GX17 is that you cant use recordings as your ringtone, that you cant chane the casing and that there is hardly any memory but other than that its quite a good phone.

I am very disappointed with my Sharp GX17. To send a text you have to press buttons about 10 times and that obviously isn't writing just the text. It asks 'Done?' 'Ok?' so many times it is irritating! I wish I had stuck with a Nokia!

I bought this phone about a year or two ago, and I bought a nokia about 9 months later. I soon realised that this phone was much better, and bought it back from Voadafone UK for �40. A good buy, and a very well reccommended phone from me

If you want to take high quality videos or photos, play games or play MP3 music, buy suitable equipment. If you want to do all that with your mobile, be prepared to spend more than the few dollars this one costs. It's a cheap phone and a good one for the price. Get real!

this is a beast of a phone for the money - stylish, compact, easy to use - couldnt ask for more! its hard 2 fault this phone, but i have found three things that could be improved.....: 1. memory = 1.4mb, no way to increase it neither 2. hasnt got a loudspeaker function during calls 3. when you use the voive recorder, it is EXTREMELY quiet when you play it back other than these small flaws, the phone is amazing. the camera is perfect quality and obviously the same for video. would recommend to anyone who wants a classy, simple-to-use mobile with an astounding colour screen!!
