 Panasonic X60 is announced in 2003
Design
The Panasonic X60 is a compact clamshell phone. Measures 78 x 46 x 28 mm in size and weighing 78 grams, it is light and feels very slender despite its size.A secound 96 x 64 pixel, display dominates the front cover, and although not the clearest external display we've seen it is still quite functional.The 16 bit - color display which is a little milky, dim and uneven, as well as having lower resolution than usual.The display resolution 128 x 128 pixel which is standart resolution for more mobile phones.
The left side of the unit holds a spacious volume rocker, while on the other side we find a dedicated camera button.
Lacking LEDs of any kind, however, the display - combined with vibration and audible alerts - is the X60's only way of notifying users of new messages and missed calls. This is common for all Panasonic handsets, requiring users to inconveniently have to pick up and activate the device to see whether any alerts are waiting rather than just glance at it.
Ergonomics
The X60 is comfortable to hold and lies well in ones hand.Sporting a simple and user friendly menu in style with other recent Panasonic handsets.The plastic keypad has very limited key travel and jiggles independently of the phone, with the shrunken center keys for no apparent reason, make the phone harder to dial than necessary.And last,but not least, a five-way navigation buttons centered below the display.
Features
Dual band 900/1800 MHz connectivity isn't all the Panasonic X60 has to offer: there's also support for GPRS, SMS, and a range of applications such as WAP , Email client, Java MIDP 1.0, a voice recorder, all of which laptop and handheld users will be pleased to learn is a breeze to utilize either by means of infrared old wireless device,GPRS support is the fastest way to download files with your mobile, and spacious phone book.
As previously mentioned, the X60 is also equipped with a 0.1 megapixel camera support for picture-taking and when it comes to storage the X60 offers 2 MB which is dynamically shared between images and J2ME applications.
Performance
Audio quality on the X60 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 600 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 4.5 hours talk time or 270 hours standby, which is very good for battery's theoretical capacity.Charge time is about 90 minutes.
Availability
The Panasonic X60 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
Panasonic's X60 is yet another model in a range of phones from experienced users from Panasonic. A new compact design and a reduced sized battery - which avoids rendering a negative impact on battery life - ensures a thin and light phone which is ergonomically comfortable. |
