Advantages: Smart design, Good MMS editor, Bluetooth Capability Disadvantages: Poor camera, battery life can be short.
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 functional; only had minimal impacy on the market.
But, since the success of the GD87, many other competitors have moved into the same territory, deciding that silver, clamshell phones with integrated cameras are the way forward. With this in mind, can the X70 manage to achieve the heights of success it?s earlier ...

Advantages: Compact, stylish, photo camera, has bluetooth! Clear display, and plenty of storage for photos, great external screen Disadvantages: Tricky to use at first, a bit expensive, bluetooth won't automatically receive
I was actually given my X70 as a birthday present, so didn't have any choice in buying the phone myself, and I was obviously very grateful to receive it, so I could only form an opinion the best way, by experience!
After the quick excitement of getting the phone faded, i found the phone quite tricky to use, and being used to Nokia's brilliant menus and navigation, I was quickly frustrated, but this all passed once I got used to the phone in a couple of days, and although texting seemed a nightmare to begin, it is actually a very fast phone to type with, so I would not put this as a downfall as I've read in other reviews.
The camera is of not too bad quality, although it's a shame it only has two-level zom, and this is only when on the lower quality image (maximum resolution is 288x352, lower 132 x 176 pixels). In order for better ...

Advantages: Size, weight, clear screen, bluetooth Disadvantages: Battery life, external arial, poor SMS support
Well, it was time for my yearly upgrade and wanted something smaller than my P800, but still functional. After a quick bit of research i got it down to the Motorola MPx200 and the Panasonic X70. After a few dayd trying out both phones, I went for the X70, here's why:
Nice to look at, not too different but not too boring, the outer screen is nice, with a choice of 7 colours and Rainbow effect. This can be set to have a standard digital clock with status, or a funky analogue. The outer screen switches modes so you can check if you have a message, battery etc by pressing the service key on the right of the phone. Above the screen is the camera, with a small mirror under it and under that a white photo light. The IR port is under the screen.It would have been nicer to have an internal arial, I always catch them on my pockets. The case ...
