I actually think it looks terribly cheap, especially the keypad. Hopefully the good features compensate for that. How much is it?

I tried GD87 a couple of weeks ago -proto-.
It's definitely a nice phone, for who likes clamshell design. (I wanted to press below the screen when I used it, cuz I'm not used to this shape factor, nevermind )
The screen is very good. It has good games (shepherd for instance is quite funny, where you play a dog who has to bark at sheeps to put them back home). The sounds are good, but a bit too much Japanese style for my taste. The size is much more reasonable than e.g. 7650.
The UI is intuitive but looks somewhat messy (I much prefer 7650's one). The keypad has a good sharp feeling. The 5-way key is ok, but could've been better.
It feels somewhat plastic though. A metal shell would really be better!

The 5-way key is pretty good, better than the T68i, it doesn't have Bluetooth and the camera is lower resolution than the Communicam (just the resolution of the screen 132x176 but that's what it was designed for, not photos). Can store up to 100 images depending on the image size (quality, not resolution).

It will retail for UK£229 with a Vodafone U.K. contract and should be available mid-November (if not sooner). Use Yahoo! or other to calculate the price in other currencies.

I just got mine today from Vodafone. GBP229 for it
The Sharp one is much better. Even though it is an old j-phone model.
