 Sharp GX10 is announced in 2002
Design
Sharp's GX10 is a typical clamshell design. Measures 94 x 49 x 27 mm in size and weighing 110 grams, it is not light but feels very slender despite its size.A secound 96 x 32 pixel, 2 display dominates the front cover, and although not the clearest external display we've seen it is still quite functional.The 16 bit - color display which is a little milky, dim and uneven, as well as having lower resolution than usual.The display resolution 120 x 160 pixel ideal for small and smart phone.
The left side of the unit holds a spacious volume rocker, while on the other side we find a dedicated camera button.
Lacking LEDs of any kind, however, the display - combined with vibration and audible alerts - is the GX10's only way of notifying users of new messages and missed calls. This is common for all Sharp handsets, requiring users to inconveniently have to pick up and activate the device to see whether any alerts are waiting rather than just glance at it.
Ergonomics
The GX10 is comfortable to hold and lies well in ones hand.Sporting a simple and user friendly menu in style with other recent Sharp handsets.The plastic keypad has very limited key travel and jiggles independently of the phone, with the comfortable center keys, make the phone easer to dial.And last,but not least, a five-way navigation buttons centered below the display.
Features
Dual band 900/1800 MHz connectivity isn't all the Sharp GX10 has to offer: there's also support for GPRS, SMS, and a range of applications such as WAP , Java MIDP 1.0, 16-channels polyphony, a voice recorder, all of which laptop and handheld users will be pleased to learn is a breeze to utilize either by means of infrared old wireless device,GPRS support is the fastest way to download files with your mobile, and spacious phone book.
As previously mentioned, the GX10 is also equipped with a 0.3 megapixel camera support for picture-taking .
Performance
Audio quality on the GX10 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 720 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 3.3 hours talk time or 250 hours standby, which is very good for battery's theoretical capacity.Charge time is about 108 minutes.
Availability
The Sharp GX10 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
Sharp GX10 is a beautiful phone to hold and use, and it's quickly won our hearts. The typical Sharp design flair is present in abundance, with all the requisite consumer features to back it up.But love doesn't notice such little flaws. |
