Panasonic GD87 > Reviews

Advantages: screen display, good picture quality, tough and durable clamshell design
Disadvantages: sometimes awkward with the navigation key, not Java enabled

I have had my Panasonic GD87 mobile for a couple of months now. I got it primarily for the camera which is built in. The picture quality is fantastic and has the largest number of colours on the display screen amongst other phones of its price range (65000 colours insteard of the usual 60000 but where you get 65000 colours from I do not know!!!). The edit features for the photos is good, as you can set them to Black-and-White, Sepia and Monochrome. ... Read review

Advantages: Great picture quality and looks great.
Disadvantages: Hard to use to begin with

...can download them from the panasonic website, but they cost about £1.50. There's only one game on this phone and unfortunately you can't donwload any because the phone doesn't support Java. The game is called "Herding Sheep". It's very funny. You're a sheep dog and you have to herd the sheep into the pen. You bark at them to get them to move in the right direction. The funniest thing about the game is that if you bark too much at the rams then they ... Read review

Advantages: good size, excellent build, great camera
Disadvantages: sms features are poor, phonebook management is archaic

...Samsung, Sharp, NEC etc. the Panasonic gd87 seemed to offer me what I wanted - Great Build, Great screensize, Great Camera, and good software. Plus, all my walkmans had been panasonics (as was my car stereo) so you could say I was a bit of a Brand Freak. So lets get the opinion going: Design: Standard clamshell fare, though the aerial has me wondering if it could have been hidden away somewhere. The Battery clip is visible, so there is a potential ... Read review

Advantages: Camera, Nice looks, Easy to use
Disadvantages: Slow text messaging, Lack of extra volume, Games

I upgraded last month from the Nokia 3510i to the sleek GD87. My main reason for the purchase was the integrated camera and good looks. Looking back, my first experience with the phone was painless - it was so easy to navigate as the phone uses a graphical interface. It feels light and although quite long (due to the display) isn’t too much of a downside. Call quality is very good and has four volume settings. Sometimes you need an extra setting ... Read review

Advantages: Mobile web, camera and phone
Disadvantages: No Bluetooth

I travel so I need a phone that will work in Europe, Asia, UK and the USA. This works everywhere. The only thing i didn't like about it when I bought it was that it didnt have bluetooth. (I wanted a phone that i could use as a mobile with my laptop)... I looked at Hutch 3, but their phones didn't have the modem feature activated for a few months. This was by far the best camera phone and so simple to use... so i bought it and set up the mobile ... Read review

Advantages: Sleek and chic
Disadvantages: slightly cumbersome

I have often wanted to 'capture the moment' and found myself without a camera. The magic that has been lost pains my fragile heart- so imagine my delight at the free upgrade to an integrated camera phone with a certain Je ne sais quoi. Yes, it bordered on delirium. I tell no lie. Odd really, as this wasn't even my first camera phone. My last one was manufactured by T-mobile, although it looked suspiciously like a Motorola, and it had a camera attachment. ...

Advantages: Great picture quality / camera
Disadvantages: One game

This phone is superb. When my contract ran out I got a Siemens S55 camera attachment phone, the picture quality was poor and the menua was poor so I sent it back and decided on this phone. The camera is very easy to use, press one button for the camera then click to take a pic!! The menu is quite similar to the Sony Ericsson T68 / T68i phones in that you have various picture menu's to go thru. If you are used to a Nokia, this may take a while ... Read review

Advantages: Excellent camera
Disadvantages: only 1 or 2 games, camera-shutter noise

I was given this phone by my sister, after waiting months to be able to buy one. The phone is extremely easy to use, with picture icons on the menu directing you where to go. One of the top buttons can be selected to bring up any feature on the phone with just one press of the button, and the other opens the phonebook. The phonebook can be personalized with a small photo of the person, there is space for notes on them, and you can assign a ... Read review

Advantages: top notch camera, clear and large colour display and relativly small
Disadvantages: battery life not to great.

This little number is a brilliant phone packed full with features. It has an excellent in-built camera which is simple to use and the ability to zoom in, change brightness, crop and frame your pictures before sending them via MMS to another phone of e-mail it to friends and family. It also has a handy voice recorded which you can send via mms along with the pictures which is pretty cool The standard ringtones sound cheezy and don't really do ... Read review

Advantages: overall a great phone
Disadvantages: Predictive text doesn't like to learn new words

Having now used this phone for 5 months i now feel I have tested it to its very limits. As a phone it is great, reception always seems to be good although that does also depend on the network. The only concern i do have is the length of time the battery lasts. It lasts well on standby, but any long conversations will soon drain the battery. This may be due however to the amount of usage it receives at my hands. Lots of ringtones and free downlads ... Read review

Advantages: Slim, good looking, robust, good camera
Disadvantages: Hard to customise, easy to get sand in the buttons ;)

...it is to use.. The panasonic GD87 is just that!.. because of the flip phone design, theres a whole load of space for nice big keys. Not too big mind. This allows your fingers to ramble when typing txts and not get a single letter wrong. On the whole, the keyboard set up is nice and intuative. You wont need to read the manual much, if at all. The only downside I encountered is that while texting, if your strayed on to the red "hang up" button ... Read review

Advantages: External Screen, Infrared port, Camera
Disadvantages: Dual-Band instead of Tri-,

...ago, I was given a Panasonic GD87. It is an "almost-full" mobile phone. It has voice-calling, camera, a "loudspeaker", polyphonic ringtones (as the most of the new mobiles and it supports both midi & these on Sony-Ericsson Mobiles), it has an infrared port, access to mobile internet via G.P.R.S. network. It is a dual-band terminal (900 & 1800MHz). - Voice-Calling system You can add up to 10 voice-called numbers. It is not very good as that on ... Read review
