Panasonic X70

...X1, LG 7100, and the Panasonic X70. After another inspection, and a couple more questions, I plumped for the X70, mainly because it was unique to Orange (I like the network, I also like the exclusivity thing!), and had everything I wanted from a phone (including the now essential Bluetooth). The X70 was available for free on Orange Talk120 or above, which basically gives you 120 minutes of talktime a month for £25. I felt this to be reasonable in ...
...as PNG, which works between Panasonic phones and is also widely used on the internet. The camera is easy to use, and quickly selectable from the main screen, the right hand side softkey being assigned to this function. One press of the D-pad takes a photo once the camera is on. One particularly nice feature is the addtion of a "photolight", which illuminates a sizeable area in front of the lens, allowing low light/night shots to be taken with more ...

Review of Panasonic X70

...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 ...
...CONCLUSION: The Panasonic X70 gets a rating of THREE STARS. It’s by no means a bad phone, and is good-looking and fine to use. It would have been great six months ago, but there have been simply not enough enhancements. Competition has caught up, and the X70 finds itself been outclassed by phones such as the GX20 and V600, both of which are capable of shooting video and have much better cameras. The phone is good value for money, especially if you ...

Review of Panasonic X70

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 ...
...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 quality images in dark locations, it features a "Twilight" feature which adjusts your image and increases contrast and colours ...

Review of Panasonic X70

...battery isn’t as good as Panasonic said it would be. Not that I am disappointed with it. I usually send a few texts, play a game and spend around 1 or 2 hours chatting on it a day and this can drain the battery meaning I have to charge it every other day. It does have a power saving setting which you can set to switch the phone off at a certain time of the day which I thought was quite clever really. This can be found by going into settings / clock ...
...it was a problem that Panasonic were having with the actual product - which I thought was quite obvious really seems as it's a Panasonic phone. I have learnt not to put the vibrate mode on this model - I'd advise others not to do it either. The ringtones are loud enough already for me to hear it ringing. I am still pleased with my phone - but if Panasonic want to do well with future models - I would suggest they sort these problems out first - ...

Review of Panasonic X70

...my previous mobile phone, The Panasonic X70. I got this phone on a contract with Orange late last year. My girlfriend had the Panasonic GD87, which as a phone I liked, and is what convinced me to get this phone, being the successor to the GD87. I have to confess to being slightly disappointed when I got this phone home. Thats not to say that its a rubbish phone, it is very stylish, and I certainly had a lot of use out of it. Once I got past the ...
...This is one area that Panasonic get a major thumbs up, when you consider that Sharps update to their rival cameraphone (released about the same time as this) and physically isn't too different to the old one. But I think that Panasonic have just taken a different direction to this phone. I think that covers the main features of this phone. It is pretty easy to use, has a couple of shortcut keys, which are programmable. The keypad, was pretty easy ...

...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 ...

The case feels nice and solid with no creaking during calls, but does seem to damage easily, there are already two deep scratches on mine whereas all my other phones are older and in better condition. When open the layout is similar to the GD87, nice and simple. A four-way ...

...store and saw the lovely Panasonic X88. A sexy, stylish phone with great features and most of all Bluetooth capacity aswell as a Camera. However, i must say, the camera is not amazing, but then again i've got a digital camera to take nice photos, the one on my phone is more for fun pics of my mates when we're out. So if like me you only want a camera on your phone to capture those zany moments with your mates then the Panasonic X88 is good enough, ...
...Another great thing about my Panasonic X88 is that i recently bought the data suite for it and it is now fully connected to my PC via data cable. You can also connect it via bluetooth, but i opted for the cheaper cable option. Now thanks to the data suite i can manage my contacts on my Pc aswell as upload midi ringtones onto my phone and share photos via the internet. There are many more features the fun Panasonic X88 has but to be honest i haven't ...

However, after seeing the phone advertised in a magazine I fell in love with it's attractive style. To start with, the tecnical stuff; the panasonic X70 phone weighs a mere 92g and is 87 x 47 x 24 mm in size. The battery lasts for 75-200 hours standby and 1.5-5hours talktime. The phone includes; an integrated camera with flash ...

Also has one game called wall breaker, quite a boring and simple game in which you destroy a wall by controlling a platform at the bottom of the screen, which a ball re-bounds off. It is an enjoyable little game but it annoyed me that the extra bonus levels you had to pay extra for by downloading them off ...

They also have unhelpfully moved some of the default positions for different icons which makes selecting them less intuitive.

Review of Panasonic X70

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 lookin ...
...Its not a teeny tiny phone but it's small enough to fit comfotably into my trouser pockets and easily lost in my bag. The phone is all silver with a shiny metalic silver around the display, camera lens, light and mirror on the cover. The battery and headphone ports are protected by a grey rubber. The phone looks very stylish until you've had it for a few months. I'm not the sort of person who treats my phone with infinite amounts of care. Im not ...
