Other, summary
The hole on top of the back cover has a VGA camera behind it. This is of course not written on the phone, but it is pretty freakin' important that there is a 4X digital zoom, as this is there. What should we expect of a VGA camera? Yep. It's just like that. Test images below. Oh, and before I forget, it can record videos at QCIF resolution.

There is nothing to talk about musical features, as the little Sharp doesn't support the MP3 format. The phone, however, has some new data transfer features, as although infra is not here anymore, Bluetooth is of version 2.0, just like the miniUSB connector we have already mentioned in the first part. However, in order to use it we need the supplied software, a GX18 won't work as an external drive, but it can at least be charged. I think I don't even have to mention that GPRS is the fastest communication technology supported, and there is a good old, basic WAP browser here in order to “make the most” of this wonderful network data transfer technology.
Oh and by the way, energy. It had an uptime of two days, and then we're lucky. Neither GX17 nor GX15 were powerful from this point of view and nothing did turn for the better now. The 750 mAh battery is slim both physically and in performance, so I'm not surprised by the results.
Summary. What has been good for the mid-range a while ago, is now good only for the entry-level. GX18, however, has some serious competition over here too, as Samsung E250 is a bit more professional (let's jut mention the MP3 player and the expandable memory) or we have GX29 with a QVGA display, also from Sharp. It might have a chance after a price fall, but until then it might be considered only by those who don't have enough money for a Nokia 6300.
