Sharp GX30i review from United Kingdom
"Very reliable smartphone, but one which is beginning to show its age"
What things have gone wrong with the mobile phone?
Charger broke whilst removing from the phone socket.
General comments?
This phone was top-of-the-line when it was reduced, and still holds well.
Camera quality is now falling behind newer models, but features thereof (e.g. flash) still advanced.
Interface uncustomisable (Vodafone version) and awkward, with tedious and superfluous menus.
Very good reliability and build quality however - certainly a match for contemporary smart phones with regard to durability.
Very bulky, heavy, and thick when closed.
Would have bought again from Sharp, but could not get used to the menus after my Nokia 3650.
