The good: The Sharp FX Plus is a side-sliding Android smartphone with a decent keyboard, good call quality, and 2GB external memory preloaded.
The bad: Battery life is short on Sharp's FX Plus, and the 600MHz processor slows things down. The keyboard keys are also a tad flat.
The bottom line: The Sharp FX Plus is a budget Android 2.2 smartphone for certain first-timers, but when it comes to some features, you get what you pay for.

FX plus could have been great, but isn't

Cons: This phone is so slow and unresponsive!

Summary: I bought this phone after the screen went out on my MyTouch 3G Slide. I liked the price for a brand new unlocked one I found on ebay. I compared it to my old phone with geekaphone.com and it was very comparable. It has a 600mhz processor, just like my MyTouch 3G Slide, but this phone is so much slower. Sometimes I get texts but the phone will not "wake-up" for several seconds after pushing the button or trying to unlock the phone with the touchscreen. Sometimes I have to touch the screen several times before it will actually change screens (but phone vibrates every time). Seems like it has the hardware to be a nice phone but it lags big time. I mean, it has gotten me by until I qualify for an upgrade, but it's agonizing to wait on it all the time.

The funky and dashing new sharp fx plus is amazing!
by MoStNeR7 on August 4, 2011
Pros: The funky and dashing new sharp fx plus is greatly attractive to most text-friendly users.
Cons: This is a new competitor with other android phones, and is definitely better than the original Sharp FX because of a not-so-laggy screen.
