 Panasonic X70 is announced in 2003
Design
Panasonic X70 handset is a distinctive-looking clamshell. Measures 87 x 47 x 24 mm in size and weighing 95 grams, it is light and feels very slender despite its size.A secound 32 x 72 pixel, 2 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 132 x 176 pixel ideal for small and smart phone.
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 X70'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 X70 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, giving it a cheap feel while oddly designed buttons, 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
In the WAN department, the X70 boasts healthy support for Tri-band 900/1800/1900 MHz, as well as GPRS, SMS, and a range of applications such as WAP , Email client, 16-channels polyphony, a voice recorder, FAX/Modem, Loud Speaker, 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,bluetooth high speed small range wireless device.GPRS support is the fastest way to download files with your mobile, and spacious phone book.
As previously mentioned, the X70 is also equipped with a 0.1 megapixel camera support for picture-taking and when it comes to storage the X70 offers 4 MB which is dynamically shared between images and J2ME applications.
Performance
Audio quality on the X70 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 680 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 5 hours talk time or 290 hours standby, which is very good for battery's theoretical capacity.Charge time is about 102 minutes.
Availability
The Panasonic X70 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
Panasonic X70 is a beautiful phone to hold and use, and it's quickly won our hearts. The typical Panasonic design flair is present in abundance, with all the requisite consumer features to back it up.But love doesn't notice such little flaws. |
