Sharp FX Plus Unlocked GSM Phone with Android 2.2 OS, 2MP Camera, Touchscreen, QWERTY Keyboard, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth - Black

This phone was for my wife and we had a bit of difficulty when we first slipped in the sim card. I called the customer service number on the order and had a tremendous experience. He assured me the card was unlocked. But if I was unhappy, or could not get it to operate in Europe, he would be happy to replace it and any/all shipping charges. So I took it to the carrier here and were told Sorry. it will not work. Them I carried it to a repairment shop that got it working there, at no charge, and told me what was wrong. So back to the original carrier, but a different store with an experienced desk person. An hour later, and no charges, and it was working. My wife loves this phone. Very simple, great response, all she wanted and needed in a phone, and so easy to set up. Great phone, and dealer. No regrets after the first two weeks.

I've struggled with finding the perfect phone for nearly a year now and I must say I think I found it. I'm constantly sending emails and as much as I loved my LG900G I really needed to upgrade. Prior to using the LG900G I had the iPhone 3G but after a terrible experience with Apple .. I went to prepaid. Net10 has really okay phones but failed to offer a plan that fit my needs. I was a bit skeptical about purchasing this phone because after seeing many reviews about this phone I've learned that some have unresponsive touch screens ( but what android phone doesn't ?) . I've had this phone for nearly a week and it's really great! It takes amazing pictures and has good voice quality, the texting is fast with the SWIPE keyboard makes it a bit faster. The messenger has a bit of a time keeping up with me since I speed text. The phone was fully unlocked and came with a charger adapter, USB/storage cable, battery, and the original AT&T box with instruction manual. Phone had no marks, scratches, smudges, or anything on it. I flashed this over with T-Mobile I use the $25 monthly plan since I mostly use wifi for my data and I have apps for texting and talking with friends. The only downside for this is there's not a case for it which sort of sucks ( I've seen a few on Amazon but they were like $15 and not in any colors I would like). I would recommend a screen protector though since it attracts dust and fingerprints very quickly. Also, when I showed it to family members and friends they could not believe the price I paid for it ( a little over $85) vs top of the line phones ranging $400 and up?

This phone was exactly what I was looking for to replace a 2nd cell phone line. After my mom died 2 years ago, I decided to keep her phone # as my second cell line and was looking to replace it with a newer phone. I did NOT want to get a phone that requires a data plan, though. Most 4G phones do require you to have a data plan, whether or not you use it. This phone fit the bill, exactly. The ONLY negative thing about this phone is the internal phone storage. The Android/Google apps take up most of the phone space, along with the APK setup files for those, which cannot be moved or deleted. That appears to be the only drawback to this phone. Touch screen is extremely sensisitve, and I now have 2 of these phone, got one for my niece and a friend, and they are ALL very sensitive, so I don't know what people's gripes are about the touch screen. If you want a phone that does NOT require a data plan get this one. It works fine. You can't find ANY cases to put the phone in, though. DON'T get the SKINOMI. It's NOT a case, they're adhesive stickers that just are stuck onto the phone. If the phone had MORE internal storage space, I'd give it 5 stars. And it DOES support 32 gb SD cards.

Have been using these phones over a year. Some great functionality, but could never update OS or delete bloatware. Very limited by the memory capacity and constantly had to uninstall apps to make room even though we mounted microSD cards. Voice dialing never really worked consistently or correctly, and had some trouble with keeping internet connectivity with our unlimited data plans. Additionally touch screen would frequently lock up and be unresponsive. Eventually, had to upgrade to a better phone, but made do for the time being.

This phone is exactly what I was looking for. I mainly have a cell phone for use away from home and travel. I wanted one that could do things that a smartphone could do, but without having to pay for a pricey data plan. My monthly bill is $20(old unicel plan that has carried over) plus tax and I only use internet features where wi fi is available. This phone is a great value for the price ($80) and has many of the features the more expensive phones have. The only problem I have experienced is the battery life does not last long. I have gone through the settings to minimize things that use up the battery. I have ordered a spare battery to keep on hand and I keep a charger set up at home and in the car.

Great phone as far as general usefulness goes with two great exceptions. The stupid way Sharp engineered the emergency call feature to almost be required to trigger when you first activate the phone. Updating the op system solves this little pecaidillo but what makes this phone almost useless is its pathetic battery life. This phone can't even be powered on and be expected to last even 12 hours before failing totally. If this lived up to its claimed stand by time it would be acceptable but I will give strong warning to even casual users who do more than the occasional text of facebook check that you wll be sadly disappointed in its lackluster performance......a surprise too seeing this is really an Ericsson made device. Run....do not walk away from this phone!!!

I was looking for a phone for my daughter (she is young), and I didnt want to pay for data package, i know she likes video games and to surf the net, so I said let me give this a try. Its cheap and does everything a smart phone does without the monthly data bill. I ordered it 1 day before her birthday and got it the next day. Just as described. I was hesitant because some reviewes were not so great but honestly this little phone rocks. My son is jealous and I will buy him one soon. She has had the phone now for about 2 weeks and everyting is great! :-) happy customer!

Low battery life, easily accidental 911 calls, non-upgradable to latest Android software, 2MP camera (not 3MP), slow, horrible WiFi. It is the very VERY basic 'smart' phone. However, I find it more annoying than useful. I used less than 1 hour of WiFi a day and the battery doesn't last throughout the day. There is an emergency call button on the lock screen and in the first two weeks that I had it, I made 3 accidental 911 calls. After installing 4 apps (Chase, GoogleVoice, Pandora, and 1Password) the phone became very slow and sometimes non-responsive. The WiFi would also get dropped so often, that I had to wait 1 minute for it to reconnect. The one and best thing about this phone is its touch screen, which is very responsive to natural touch and gestures.
