Sharp GX17 Review
Phone rating: 
The Sharp GX17 is un updated version of the popular Sharp
GX15 and is a good entry-level camera phone. Like the GX15, the
GX17 has a good VGA resolution camera (0.3 megapixels) and supports
video recording and playback.
The screen is of excellent quality with 65k colours, and uses TFT technology
for a bright vivid display that is clearly visible even in sunlight.
The screen is physically large but the resolution is limited at 120
x 160 pixels, so not as sharp as the more expensive models in the Sharp
range. However, in the entry-level camera phone class, this is one of
the best screens available.
The user interface is icon-driven, intuitive and easy to use.
The GX17 comes with 40-voice polyphonic ringtones that are of high
quality and it supports Java™ applications, which means that games
and other applications can be downloaded. Like the GX15 before it, the
GX17's memory is quite limited for storing video clips, photos, ringtones
and games.
Finally, the GX17 has full Bluetooth™ wireless support in addition
to USB and Infra-Red connectivity.
This is a good entry-level camera phone, with the small amount of memory
being its only shortcoming. The mystery is why Sharp have bothered to
release the GX17 when it is virtually identical to the previous model,
the GX15. The differences are superficial, with a smart black case and
a couple of millimetres shaved off the dimensions, making it even more
compact then before.
Features of the Sharp GX17 include:
- VGA digital camera (640 x 480 pixels) with 4x zoom
- Video recorder
- Voice recorder
- Display: TFT, 65,000 colours, 120 x 160 pixels
- 40-voice polyphonic ringtones
- Ringtone composer
- Messaging: SMS, MMS, email (POP3)
- T9 Predictive text
- Java games
- Connectivity: Bluetooth 1.1 (voice/data), USB, IrDa
- WAP, GPRS class 10
- Triband
- Vibration alert
- Size: 46 x 107 x 17 mm
- Weight: 85g
- Talktime: 230 minutes
- Battery standby: up to 290 hours

Very lovely phone. Compared with the screen of the Sagen my401 the GX17
is very good.the only thing which i don't like are the keys which are
small but on the whole it is a good phone. The previous phones which
i had the Nokia 3310 and the Nokia 1100 were unreparable. The Sharp
GX17 is very good and also at a good price.

Pro: - Nice sharp camera - Clear screen, good contrast - Quite good
price Against: - sms management, you have to scroll through the list
without any indication on where you are, how many messages are there,
how much free memory; if you delete a message, then you get back to
the start and have to scroll again. - low memory, you can only take
a few pics and you run out of it.

neither will the GX17, SHARP is such high quality, Oh ye, just bought
it on line from Vodafone for £25. Not too bad when you concider I paid
£80 for the GX15 Love the SHARP GX range of phones.

It makes and recieves calls and texts. Only down side I can find is

camcorder for videos and PS for games, it's a free phone for goodness

This phone is easy on the wallet and for the price you pay, you get
quite a bit of features that are really unexpected in a 60 Pound Sterling
mobile phone. First of all, the phone comes with multiple bandwidths
that enable the phone to be quite versatile in all parts of the world.
I bought mine from Australia and it works wonders in North America.
The sound quality is crisp and I have had no battery problems at all.
Secondly, the phone has bluetooth capabilities, camera and video functions.
Although this may not be the phone's strengths, you cannot and SHOULD
NOT complain about these applications too too much because the phone
is economical. You really have to hand it to Sharp for trying to provide
users with so many options for so little money... For the price you
pay, this phone is a great entry level mobile and will suit your basic
needs. If you are looking for an advanced phone with high-end quality
applications (i.e. over 1 megapixel pictures, mp3 players, etc.), then
you are considering the wrong phone and your expectations are much too
high and unreasonable. A good analogy would be dining at a McDonalds
restaurant and expecting servers to refresh your water while wearing
white gloves.

The GX17 is compact and very easy to use. The bluetooth connectivity
is very easy to use and pairing to my bluetooth headset took seconds.
The screen is a good size and is of good quality. The only drawback
is the lack of a voice dialling facility when using the bluetooth facility.
If you have bought the phone to play games or as a camera then the memory
may be a bit limited. Overall it is a very good phone offering value
for money.

Having recently bouth this fone for just over £60 I find it a good entry

letdown in my view is the memory it has, which is about 1.5mb, if you
are looking to buy a phone to use for taking videos and pictures more
than anything then this is not a good buy for that, but if you want
a basic camera phone then the sharp gx17 will be a good buy for you.

as me, got a big screen, the camera is alrite, maybe needs more colors,
battery isn't long lasting, but none of these phones are, about 2 an
a half days with moderate use. Its got all the accesories any novice
or even serious potential phone purchaser could want. The hardware and
layout of the menus aren't as well tuned as nokia phones, but u get

There are also cases where the alarm may not be able to awake the phone
when it is turned off. An other annoying thing is that you cannot install
java applications unless you download them from a provider. There is
no way to install my custom midlets in to it! If I wasn't using java

Lost my GX15 so got the GX17 as a direct replacement. Always thought
the GX15 was alright but all silver was too shiny when it was new and
scratched really easily, still quite tough though, never managed to
break it. The GX17 in terms of software is virtually identical and the
circuitry looks the same too the case though does look smarter in black
and silver an I think it's actually slightly bigger! Not that I think
this is a bad thing a thicker tougher case is a good thing when you
keep your phone in the same pocket as your keys! THe only bad thing
relative to the GX15 is there isn't the mirror for self portraits for
vain people on the back. The lack of memory is frustrating but you just
have to be selective, and at least it has blue tooth to empty it easily.
I'd like an m3 player and a radio but I'm not going to pay for it so
I think this represents real value for money definitely.

hi people, i bought this phone today because my Phillips 365 was a pile
of junk. i got this phone for £60 which i thought was a bargain for
the specifications it has. Apart from a music player it has everything
you can possibly want from a phone. The camera is very good quality,
and can store plenty of photos, anybody that complains about its memory
must be forgettin its a phone not a top of the range pc. The bluetooth
is acceptable could be better, but hey most £60 phones dont have a camera
so nothing to complain about. The GPRS is amazing, it has everything
u could possible want on the move. I havent really spent much tim lookin
in the manual the phone is very straight forward, but on the few things
i have it seems very helpful. i downloaded 1 game, the game has good
graphics and im very pleased with it. The infared is very good i spent
alot of time transferring data from my t310 today via infared, was very

well well well,in the land of nokias,sonyericssons,samsungs et al whats
sharp doing !!! This is what that crossed my mind when someone suggested
me to have alook at sharpgx17 on my hunt for a new phone. After having
a closer look I couldnt resist but buy it and for £80 it did offer me
immense quality for money. To begin with, it has killer looks; like
a knight in his shining black armour.No one can argue about its looks
and it feels well built too. forgone are the days when the pocket sags
with gadgets and this phone is a flyweighter. The buttons have a classy
touch to it and the interface is excellent too, probably next to a sonyericsson.
Features are a plenty with a great resolution screen and quality ringtones.The
speakers are just the best among any phones and it does all these without
sacrificing on battery life at all.Its like a samsung phone with nokia
like battery life. It offers great connectivity options too with bluetooth
and irdad as standard.The camera is decent enough as you can expect
that from sharp anyday.Perhaps the only chink in it would be the internal
memory. While its good enough for everyday camera snaps, video mode
and voice recording are seriously hampered. All in all I would say,
CHEERIOS to sharp, excellent quality for the money you pay and it feels
and look rich too.

I have just bought the Sharp GX17 and am really please with my choice.
The first thing I noticed was that the screen/display quality is very
good and the menus and functions are a doddle to navigate. Its design
is sleek, lightweight and stylish and the buttons and circular navigation
wheel seem well designed and spaced out for ease of use. It isn't the
best phone I've had in terms of storage but that's a minor grumble.
One thing that has got me more annoyed is that although this phone boasts
Bluetooth connectivity, do you think it will pair with any of my pals
phones or my home computer - ERR, NO - I'M STILL WORKING ON IT and that
was one of my main points of getting the GX17! The camera works well
and little touches like "Continuous Shot" feature add a little extra
depth to taking pictures with this phone. Bottom line is you can get
a top-end phone that sings, dances and makes you tea and it will cost
you the earth or you can opt for this great little phone that wont show
y ou up down the pub, does what you ask it to do (except Bluetooth that
is!) and it will only set you back seventy to eighty quid. I recommend
this phone to anyone that wants their phone for functionality rather
than status, well done Sharp!

Well i got this phon3e today from vodafone and i payed £80 which included
£20 top up voucher so i basically payed £60 for the phone which i a
very good bargain these days! the camera is v.gd quality and can hold
170 photos on low quality which is still gd :D!! the bluetooth is ok
but can only accept recordings under 30 seconds and photo messages!
infa red is rubbish but u have bluetooth which is amazing! the key pad
is easy to use and if you have any faults with it keep the reciept and
you can get it fixed free of charge if less than a year old! which is
what i will be doing in a years time :D!! hehe Buy this phone it is
v.gd :D woooo any more questions please email me on oakes_sam@hotmail.com

Its an excellent phone but i cannot use the bluetooth to pair up with
anything so whats the point in having bluetooth in the first place!
Maybe they'll be a firmware upgrade soon - hint, hint...

For a start this phone is excellent value for money! Has some great
features. Looks good, easy to use, Great camera/video, Good screen,
Has bluetooth,infra red and data cable. Lightweight. Could go on for
ages! Downsides are not much memory and Annoying noises when you take
a picture! But a excellent phone. Highly recommended!

Having owned Nokia mobiles up until now, I realised just how silly I
have been by never considering the opposition!! The GX17 is mind blowing
and I have found it more user friendly than ANY of the Nokia range.
Having just checked the spec. to find claims of 290 hours standby time,
I assume I must have a faulty battery as I am only getting about 24
hours before the battery goes dead without any warning. So its back
to the shop tomorrow to ask why. The GX17 is available for less than
£60 on the internet which is such a very good price for such a fantastic
mobile telephone.

It's a nice quality/price combination. A good phone with a low price.
And cames with a manager set software that allows you to transfer contacts,
messages, ringtones, games and images beetween cellphone and you computer
by a bluetooth connection or IRD conection. I tried both, and both are
real nice.

This phone is good if you want a phone with Extremely low memory you
can about 20 o.k. photos or about 15 high quality poly tones or about
10 very low quality videos the has a built in memory of 1.4 Megabytes
which is very very bad also you can't put any type of Memory card in
it and you can't upgrade the phones memory at all. It has o.k functions
on it, you just can't store barely anything on it. I recommend that
you do not buy this phone!!!!!

I decided to buy one of these after my Moto v525 developed a serious
problem. This would have cost £50 to repair, so I decided to buy a new
non-clam phone. At only £80 I am very impressed! I do miss the predictive
text and snooze function on the alarms, but for this price I can live
without these. It's a very smart, slim and light phone with a professional
finish (nice big display too). Nice one Sharp!
