Hi !

has anyone used both the Sharp GX10 and the Panasonic GD-87?
I am wondering if both these phones can synchronize with MS-Outlook and send appointments, address etc.

I also wonder what, exactly, is in each box. I heard the Panasonic GD-87 has only the phone and charger but the Sharp GX10 has cables and a CD.

I am wondering about e-mail too. I think the Panasonic has space for 3 pop mail accounts but the Sharp is different. Have to tell Vodaphone about your own pop accounts and they route the mail through to the Vizzavi? account.

I heard the Sharp GX10 is Vodaphone only.. and the GX1 wwill be for O2.

If you have used both or one, please can you tell me good and bad points for each?

thanks,

ofiaich

"I am the main developer for panasonic"

surely if this were true, then shouldn't you have the intellect to reply with a better come back than 'no its not'

also if you are some hot shot main developer for panasonic what are you doing on here! shouldn't you be counting your money or driving in your ferrari that you managed to borrow cos vodafone love you and vodafone have ties with ferrari?

well, i believe you, because i have no reason not to believe you... not yet anyway.

I'm interested in this new phone. If it shipping within the next 6 weeks it must be at the stage of fully working prototype. Any pictures of the unit? what network will it be launched on? more detailed pics would be good...

cheers

ah, ok. that makes way more sense. i wondered why they would be releasing a better phone so soon!

What kind of battery are you planning to use? with the 120K tft screen it will be really sapping on the power. bluetooth is an essential tool i think, keep it!

look forward to hearing news on this phone...

I found this site... but I do not understand the language

http://www.miccom.cc/handy/smsbilder/extrahinweise.html

panasonic eb-gd99

aufgrund der geringen anzahl von zeichen pro zeile, können nicht alle sms bilder angezeigt werden! hinzu kommt noch, dass das panasonic eb-gd99 leerzeichen grösser 1, welche nebeneinander stehen, automatisch auf 1 leerzeichen reduziert! daher wurden anstelle nebeneinander liegender leerzeichen, punkte in die grafik eingefügt was nicht bei jedem bild gut aussieht! ein eintippen von zeilenumbrüchen am handy selbst ist nicht möglich! das panasonic eb-gd99 hat auch nur 3 zeilen zur anzeige von sms nachrichten zur verfügung!

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