Having compared both phones, the Panasonic GD-87 is better than the Sharp GX-10 in a number of ways, although the Sharp is slightly narrower, it is also a little fatter when the clam-shell design is closed - but that is a matter of preference as they weight about the same.
Technically the Sharp is ony dual-band, the Panasonic tri-band. The Sharp has a slightly bigger screen and slightly higher resolution. The Sharp however can take higher resolution pictures (but still far short of the MCA-20's VGA resolution). The Panasonic has an infrared port that actually works and can transfer pictures to and from a PC, the Sharp does however come with a PC cable. The Panasonic has an email client that can view image attachments, the Sharp does not even have an email client.
Probably best if you go and search for more info on the web and decide for yourselves.
As for the Panasonic GD-99, I don't know the specs. of this phone but it sounds pretty plausible compared to other phones in development.

Am I right about what's in the box?
Phone and charger for Panasonic... and more for Sharp?

What?? 60 channels poly, is that even possible?! And if it is, shouldn't it be like 56 or 64 not 60???

Good spot. The next step up from the 40 (32+8 wavetable) poly used on most japanese handsets is the 64 poly chip used by Tu-ka in Japan.
Also, I don't see anyone producing a '120k tft' screen.
In Japan, the jump has been from 65k to 262k.
I'm just really skeptical of this guy, telling us his (rather piss-poor for a 'main developer') salary, inviting us to call him for more info and generally spilling the beans on a top-secret project.
If hes telling the truth, hes not employee of the month, thats for sure!! |

Yeah that's what I thought too! I bet he's a really smooth talker when you call him, and he'll probably try to give you a "special deal" on the phone....

Cophia, you have not researched these phones obiviously!!
The panasonic has a bigger screen, but only by a few pixels!! that is a fact. I am not sure about the resolution, but i persume that they are roughly about the same. yes the Panasonic has an email client, and i have used it sucessfully, you only get the phone and a rapid charger in the box with the panasonic, i'm not sure what you get in the box with the sharp, i've used the phone, but not got my hand's on the box.
the sharp has java, for downloading app's and games, the panasonic has a thing called "ExEn" by in-fusio. it is a java based software, but only for downloading game, it is called the EnEx (executable engine).
the panasonic looks better, the sharp is very "boxy" looking. and the camera is in the outer corner of the shell, I'd be affraid of it getting damaged.
Check out some reviews on the web for more detailed spec.
To my knowledge, the panasonic has a better battery life.
on the vodafone sheet, the panasonic has Long Battery Life, where there is not mention of this on the specs of the sharp.
with the Panasonic, it all depends on how much you use it(like any fone.) I've gotten 3 day's out of it no problem, with out using the camera, and 2 full day's with messing with the camera fairly regualy.
I only have it a week, the panasonic that is, so it should no be reaching it's full battery capacity.
Check it out yourself, but i personally prefer the panasonic, for looks, and battery, and slightly bigger screen.

more pixels means bigger res... so if gd has more pix (i am not sure, cause i never looked at sharp, with it being dualband and me being in america) so pana has res of 132x176... thats the res, number of pixels horisontaly times vertically... so, if sharp has a smaller screen the resolution is smaller as well...
for me, i don't like the looks of sharp.... and many other things...

thanks to all for your replies..
I'll read more and go to a Voda shop and play with them for a good while!
I think the Panasonic doesn't sync to Outlook Express though I can see in a pdf manual -
Sending Data.
The types of data you can send are: Phone Book, My Profile, Scheduler, Camera, Sound, File and Data folder.
Does anyone know exactly what is included in the Scheduler and File and Data folder?
thanks!

thanks [MDS].
Does the Scheduler folder hold appointments and tasks to do etc?
Can the Panasonic gd-87 synch with Outlook Express in the same way as the T68 does?

I think I speak for more than myself here when I say...
Get a grip!
Ok, your the chief designer, well done!
Do you see any other chief designers at your company on web forums? bragging about their prototypes? Does it sound like something your boss would approve of?
Is the answer to all of the above no?
Good now go back to your desk and carry on designing the phone. | |
