Panasonic X70

Hi, thanks for taking the time to read this review (it?s my first one). Feel free to rate it or leave your comments, I?ll reply to them as best I can. INTRODUCTIONS So, let?s first introduce our product, the Panasonic X70. Released in the Autumn, 2003, the X70 is the successor to the Panasonic GD87 mobile phone. The GD87 was a massive success, breaking into the mass-market domain (appearing on the majority of UK networks). Panasonic gained credibility; a step up from the ground floor as their previous models, whilst ...  Read the complete review

Now that Panasonic has stopped making mobile phones which do not have third-generation technology, it is interesting to take a look at what they have come up with in the past given that their current offerings on the market amount to zero. But, do the users wish that Panasonic stayed away from the market place, or came back with a bang? On the strength of the X70, let us attempt to answer that question. I managed to pick one of these phones up on Ebay about eighteen months ago for 35 GBP. Admittedly it was locked to Orange, which limited its market somewhat, but was I about to experience the disappointment which drove seven out of ten of the original ...  Read the complete review

****************** Why this phone? ****************** I got this phone given for xmas 2004. It was on my wish list as I had tried to get it on contract previously and was turned down due to having no credit history. I had a good look around all the phones available at the time and judged this to be the best for features and looks. ********** Looks ********** The phone is rather small for a flip phone. It's only 2.5cm deep with the door closed which I think is diddy compared to other ones that I was looking at. I'ts 10.5cm long (including the ariel) and 4.5cm wide. Its not a teeny tiny phone but it's small enough to ...  Read the complete review

I bought this phone on contract in March 2004, and to be honest I counted the days until I could change it when my contract ended. Not being a huge tech minded person, the selection was made on looks. Having been told many times, don’t judge a book by its cover… it should be don’t judge a phone by its looks! In this case the functionality and user-friendly capability was absolutely useless. Ok I’ll start with the case. Oval shape, pretty much the same as most of the flip phones out at that time. In dark silver, it did differ slightly to its competitors, who mainly plumped for the platinum silver. I was disappointed by how easily the case ...  Read the complete review

This is a great phone fully packed with features such as bluetooth and infra red. It also has gprs and WAP capabilities, ideal for surfing the mobile web or checking on email. As it has a large screen it makes this task easier. The choice of games is limited though and you are only able to download one more. If you want any more you have to erase the first download. It is lightweight and also a clam shell design therefore preventing calls being accidently made whilst the phone is in your pocket. I highly recommend the phone to anyone who is looking for an internet ready phone. The choice of ringtones is good and you can download many ...  Read the complete review
