...service number through ringing the Panasonic enquiries line and then you can send and receive emails.
There is also the ability to record parts of phone conversations just by pressing the "voice memo" button whilst having a conversation. This is very useful for blackmailing people with. Just simply get them to say something they don't want anyone to know, press "voice memo" and you'll have it on tape! Ha ha! ...load of jargon on the Panasonic GD 92.
Also, the harmonic ringtones may be nice but they are a bit quiet and you can easily miss a call if you are out in a busy place.
As for the call recording and voice ringer facilities, they would be a lot better if they were for longer than 15 seconds!
But perhaps the main downside about this phone is that it doesn't have any games! Oh no, I hear you cry! What is ... more
This phone has taken control of my life now for the past two years. it has been my sidekick, my companion and my ultimate accessory! Ok, so it's just a phone, but it is the only phone I have ver really been proud to own. Let me explain why...
PERSONALITY WITH ORIGINALITY This is a phone for those who like to be individual and like expressing it. For a start, its looks are very different from that of the ordinary old Nokias, which all look the same in my opinion! What's most original about thhis phone is that it has different colour backlights; magenta, green, orange and blue which- although is not essential in a phone- is great fun! Another thing I love about this phone is that you can programme different ringtones and pictures to appear for different callers or groups of callers. That is just another thing that is original about this phone.
FEATURES GALORE What can I say? You'll get features galore with this phone! Apart from those I mentionned above, there are many many more to enjoy. Another fun feature for example is that you can record your own ring tone eg. a voice, some music etc etc.
On a more serious note, this phone has emailing facilties; you have to get an internet service number through ringing the Panasonic enquiries line and then you can send and receive emails.
There is also the ability to record parts of phone conversations just by pressing the "voice memo" button whilst having a conversation. This is very useful for blackmailing people with. Just simply get them to say something they don't want anyone to know, press "voice memo" and you'll have it on tape! Ha ha!
The ringtones are another feature of this phone that really stand out; you have all your usual ring rings and beep beeps, but also you have these superb harmonic tunes which you could listen to for hours (well if you're really sad like me). They're so nice to listen to that you won't want to answer the phone when it rings- you'll be too busy listening to the ringtone (again, if you're sad like me)!
Also there's the usual features such as alarm, calculator, currency converter, vibration alert, auto answer, call waiting and hold, divert.
It also has a built in handsfree facility where you can simply make it so the person is on loud speaker so you don't have to have the phone to your ear.
IT'S AN IMAGE THING This is a very sleek and slinky phone. It is very delicate looking and has a weight to match- 75 grams. This- at the time- was the lightest phone ever built. There's no doubt that there are now lighter phones on the market, but quite frankly, if they got any lighter and smaller they would get lost every five minutes!
This phone comes in black or silver, but is most common in silver. You even get a nice pretty picture of a parrot plastered on the screen for free if you wish! Now THAT'S value for money!
ACCESSORIES If you are an accessories person who likes to decorate your phone with fascias with Winnie the Pooh or Purple dots and yellow flowers, this isn't the phone for you. You won't find any fascias for this phone in this country. Maybe in Japan, but not here... You can get accessories such as car chargers and desktop chargers if you search around, but accessories for this phone- like the handset itself- are becoming increasingly rare. I would advise finding a leather case from somewhere as the phone scratches quite easily. Although this does ruin the image!
DOWNSIDES Having a different phone from everyone else does have its disadvantages. For a start, you won't be able to find many accessories for it like all your Nokia friends will- as I mentionned above.
Another disadvantage is that it won't be easy to order ringtones and pictures for the phone if you are into all that.
The GD 92 does not receive any of those picture or clever code messages that Nokias can receive which can be a bit annoying when a friend sends you a picture text- it will just look like a load of jargon on the Panasonic GD 92.
Also, the harmonic ringtones may be nice but they are a bit quiet and you can easily miss a call if you are out in a busy place.
As for the call recording and voice ringer facilities, they would be a lot better if they were for longer than 15 seconds!
But perhaps the main downside about this phone is that it doesn't have any games! Oh no, I hear you cry! What is the point in a phone without games!? Well, let me remind you that phones were invented for the purpose of making and receiving calls and it does that perfectly! But it would be nice to have a good ol' game of 'Snake' sometimes...
Actually, that is not the biggest no no about this phone; there is one more moan- the biggest problem is that these phones are so hard to obtain these days as Panasonic stopped making them long ago. I don't know why they didn't just bring out the same phone but with a few improvements, like games and blah blah blah. It was a great phone while it lasted and could've been even greater...
OTHER THINGS YOU OUGHT TO KNOW Hmm, what else would you want to know about this phone? Oh yes, battery life is 80 hours standby which is excellent for any phone.
Reception-wise, this is a very efficient phone. Usually it depends what network you have on the quality of the reception you receive on your handset, but I have known people who have had the same network as me and have been in the same place but I have had reception and they haven't. Must be down to the handset.
Price. You can't buy these at shop prices anymore, nor can you buy them with tariffs or contracts at discounted rates. So you'll either have to buy them from an internet site that deals in offline mobiles and prices here can range from £100 to £200 depending on how decent the company is! Second hand, they cost between £30 and £120 depending on the condition and the greed of the person selling it!
So where would you get one? Well, that's the hard part, I'm afraid! Below, you'll find some websites which supply these phones offline as you won't be able to purchase them from the shops anymore. Otherwise, you might be able to find one being sold privately on sites such as Loot or Adtrader. Good luck and enjoy my favourite phone!

Advantages: Light, multi colour display, email, Record your own ringtone Disadvantages: Not a big enough email store
I'll be honest, I HATE NOKIAS, I seem to have very bad luck with them, they are poor on reception, or don't last long, but one thing about them is tue for ALL Nokia users are that they are never unque. The Nokia herd is massive. My university is full of them, most with the same ringtone. What a relife then to find a phone completly different from them. After my compartive brick the s25, this GD92 is fantastic. Its a shame it doesn't share the feature ... ...having weighed it with my friends Nokia 8210, the GD92 is lighter!!! If it didn't have an aerial then its would look great, that saids it doesn't look bad now. It has multi-colour backlight, which can be linked to different numbers stored on its 100 name memory, which can also store email addresses, which can them be used on its email facility, NOT WAP. Its accesses a proper pop3 account, though it can only store the very 150 characters of upto 40 ...

Advantages: Lightweights, Easy to use Disadvantages: Not available on all networks
To this day,this is still amongst one of the lightest and slimmest phones ever made by Panasonic. It weighs only 77grams and was the second lightest phone in the market around July 2001. it is the successor to the gd90 model which was a hugely popular phone due to its size,design and the easy to use interface.
Amongst the exclusive features on this was the abolity to change the colour of the display background between a number of colours which made ... ...very handy when your writing text messages as it saves a lot of time This phone was available to buy on contract on Vodafone and BT cellnet(at the time)for around £30 which wasn't very expensive at all.
To operate the phone is very simply as most of scrolling in the menus is done with the centre button which has up,down,left and right functions. There is also a C button which was cancelling an option,a button to bring up your phonebook and of course ...

The telephone has presented me the husband at date of birth. From the first sight on this telephone surprises huge in a vertical direction the display and it seems, that he promises to show not differently as wide-screen film with a sound Dolby Digital. On weight it can simply be not noted, or to not understand, what is it telephone, instead of toy. Well it or is bad, to judge I do not take, because it is already terrible to think of the future of ... ...a picture, which in the telephone 2 of sort. After registration I see, that the telephone in every possible way attempts to prompt, that in the given moment he attempts to make. All menu are illustrated, the truth to understand, that each of them means not so that simply. But in due course all is acquired, as in the telephone there are algorithms of fast access to any menu through usual pressing of number of the necessary unit. So, having played ...

Advantages: Design, weight Disadvantages: Not ergonomical
Subject: Panasonic GD92
- Dual Band (900/1800)
- Dimensions: 118.1 x 40.5 x 16.4 (h x w x d)
In concrete: it's quite small. Practical to carry it with you. Only annoying thing: the antenna sticks out.
- Weight: 77 gr.
Very light! You forget you've got it with you.
- Talk time: 3hrs ; Standbye time 160hrs
These are of course not very relevant numbers. It depends on how it's charged, how much you phone, how old your battery is.... My experience ... ...In normal use it works at least 3 days., and after 5 months of use it doesn't seem to shorten.
- Battery type: Li_Ion
The difference with a classic battery is that you don't have to wait recharge this one until it's flat. Very practical if you're using it in combination with a carkit.
- Alert: ringer or vibration. Vibration is for me a "conditio sine qua non" when I buy a mobile.
- Design: This a very sexy mobile! It's elegant, women love it!

Advantages: Light, 4 colour background, Many Many extra features Disadvantages: None apart from price
What can i say this has to be the best mobile phone on the Australian market. I have had mine for 3 months now and it has not let me down yet. It has long battery life 110mins talk time and recharges with in 1 hour i find. It is also very much a fashion accessory. It comes it 3 cool collers silver metallic and blue. Not only that but the screen can change between 4 colours. Also included is a 30 sec memo which can be used to record during conversation!! ... ...recordable ring tone!! You want more?? You got it this phone hits u with 20 tones plus 4 composable tones!! The best feature of all has to be that it is so light. So many people have asked about the phone when they see it ( it works as a good conversation starter with the women.. " i like your phone") So go out and but it !! It kills the nokia 8210 in every perspective (apart from in size, but who wants a phone that small anyway??) Also the reception ...

Overall though its a nice and small phone and considering it didn't cost much,it was a nice buy indeed. ...
Advantages: see opinion Disadvantages: see opinion
an opportunity of personification of a bell with the help of record of the voice. That is you can write down the phrase, and she will be reproduced at a bell on your phone (similar function is in PanasonicGD92).
In the phone there are games.
Weight of the device only 85 grams, thus as the power supply is used lithium the ionic battery. ...
Advantages: Design, ergonomics Disadvantages: Allocation of memory
detail of its design has been carefully analysed. A real pleasure for the eye.
Concerning ergonomics, nothing but praise as well. Comparing to my old Motorola cd930, and my girlfriend’s PanasonicGD92, the 3310 is really easy to use. Most functions are where you expect them to be. An example for many other manufacturers.
But that’s not all, this mobile is quite small, has no antenna (a real advantage I can assure you), excellent sound quality, a very clear screen, and on top of all that an excellent talk time (2 h 30 min - 4 h 30 min) and standby time (55 - 260 h).
I could actually continue to praise this phone on and on, but I guess dozens of people did that for me. So let’s concentrate on what went wrong.
The disillusion
