official presentation of this fantastic creation at 3GSM 2004 of Cannes on the Panasonic webpage (spécial 3GSM de Cannes 2004)


I WANT IT !!!!!!!!!!


Posted by: Davis2020

wow..phone is awesome looking...too bad it won't be coming to the US, according to Lost Rebel...it does not have 850Mhz does it? or just buy an unlocked one


Posted by: lost_rebel

Did I say that? Well, as always things can change. I suppose if it sells well enough, and a US carrier is interested, then I am sure they will sell the phone..... Otherwise it will probably be the Kiosk guys that will be carrying it.


Posted by: Davis2020

thats what I figured.. I was just wondering, how is Panasonic with releasing phones? they said this wil be available towards the end of the year, will it be longer than that? the Moto V600 has been a very long time since it was first introduced...


Posted by: lost_rebel

Sorry, I can not answer that. I am still hearing that it will be out in late spring/early summer. How long it takes to fill the entire distribution change, I have no idea. Usually, someone has an exclusionary contract and they get it alone for n months before everyone else gets it. But I have no information on how this is going to be handled. Basically, I look for Australia to get it, and buy from vendors there....all mobiles are unlocked and have english in them. Will be looking for X700 soon that way.


Posted by: Davis2020

great-thanks for all your info!!!!!!!!!and I know that you will keep everyone posted on any new info!! I am sure we will all be patiently awaiting this beauty...

Panasonic has officialy announced that it will be available by Autumn... If they want to launch another handset by the end opf the year they should launch the X700 by the end of the summer and the follow up later on...

Are you sure lost rebel about the... Early summer? Perhaps Panasonioc wants to be safe... and says Autumn, even though they plan to launch it by the end of spring... I'm sure that someone will have an idea later on...

Posted by: nox1524

thanks but it was already on the link that athina posted.


Posted by: lost_rebel

There is no wan capability...no 802.11 They made a mistake....I am also not sure about this voice recognition thing.. It will be great if it works, but could turn out very crappy, you people who had an allure know what I mean. Hopefully there will be a trainable mode just in case.


Posted by: nox1524

what was wrong with the allure's lost. i had a audiovox 8500 before and half the time it took so long to say someones number. i ended up just punching the number in to dial.


Posted by: lost_rebel

just did not work except on very rare occasions.

The website corrected the 802.11 BS


Posted by: OvertheHill

Will it fit into my Pana GD87 car kit??


Posted by: lost_rebel

I doubt it. different bottom connector..... Heard that there is going to be a BT car kit coming.... But have no additional facts.


Posted by: MBFlash

lost_rebel, you said in another thread that there are some websites with additional info on the X700 . Do you know where can I read more about this handset, other than Panasonic website? The only additional sources I found were http://www.belstenlchuaonline.com.ph/ and http://lostrebel.gsmhosting.net/x700.htm (yours)
but I don't see too much there. Thank you


Posted by: lost_rebel

try a Google Search

thanks, will do it

Hey Lost rebel, where exactly do you purchase from?

some phones are locked and branded in Oz.....

Just wondering where you locate unlocked phones etc, and wondering - surely Oz is way behind other countries in phone release dates??

The X70 has only just surfaced here....


Posted by: lost_rebel

been months since I last purchased....I need to wait until I get back home and get on my home computer to get the links. It will be a couple of weeks. I tried google but I did not see the store I purchased them from. Interestingly enough, I had to purchase my x70 from the UK.
As for mobiles locked to OZ, I have never had that problem. All have been unbranded and unlocked.....All my gd87s anyway. I bought about 10 between myself, friends and family


Posted by: Mr. DUNGA

Are you saying that you purchased an unlocked and unbranded X70 from the UK?


Posted by: lost_rebel

i am


Posted by: Mr. DUNGA

From where exactly if I may ask? There are hundreds of UK X70 users who complained about Orange firmware in branded locked X70's...


Posted by: lost_rebel

as the saying goes, you can ask...but I am buying 5 x70s this week and I happen to know that inventories are low....so after I get them, I will post the info.


Posted by: Mr. DUNGA

Thats cool, hope you get them.. I am still waiting for that bloody P341i to get released...


Posted by: satoshi

pretty nice phone, finally found my new target in addition to gx30

was intended to purchase MOTO's v600 but after reading upon its numerous problems and the fact that it's made in china... it's pretty much out of the picture for me...

anyone know where X70s are made in?


Posted by: Mr. DUNGA

Taiwan or Czech I believe, correct me if I'm wrong.


Posted by: lost_rebel

my sticker in my phone says it was made in the Czech republic.


Posted by: SENATOR

This certainly takes the title of "Precious" away from the V600. I'll still most likely get the V600 when it's released, but quickly Ebay it for the X700 when it comes out.

Ah, the madness never ends...

that's great panasonic, but i thought you would come up with something a tad bit more advanced at this stage. i mean, with the exception of the miniSD card, the X700 basically does everything my 6600 does but in a clamshell design one year later! it's a shame because this phone caught my eye as a possible future purchase. hmm.. we'll see how this phone is once it's available. i'll also be comparing it to what nokia and other manufacturers will have out by Q3 as well... which i think will be more advanced next round.


Posted by: Mr. DUNGA

6600 is 3 times larger and uglier than the X700.... And the X700 has many more capabilities. I didn't even mention the screen and built quality...

IMO, the X700 looks MUCH more appealing than the 6600. The X700 can edit MS Word/Excel/PowerPoint, plus the clamshell design looks gorgeous. But like you said, we'll have to wait and see what else comes out in the Q3 and actual user reviews too.

Man, it's tough ($$$) trying to keep up with technology!


Posted by: w1ck3d

my god the 6600 is fkin ugly...


Posted by: sneakerpimp

editing word/excel/whatever... that's just software. something upgradeable on any symbian device. big deal. screen quality? it's the same if not better on the 6600. check the specs. i don't recall the resolution size on the X700 but last time i checked i believe the 6600 was bigger or at least equal.

on the note about the 6600's size... well, it's a phone that came out ONE WHOLE YEAR ago. everything else has been getting smaller and smaller. this is panasonic's entry into the series 60 realm and all they can come up with is a phone with no 850 band, no megapixel camera, and does it even have stereo? my god, welcome to LAST YEAR panasonic!!!

do me a favor people... instead of spewing the usual pro-panasonic banter think about it first. i think panasonic is a great company but they're really lagging with comparison to the rest of the pack. i wanted the x700 to be honest cause it's a bit smaller and is a series 60 device... but i'm not so sure anymore. just doesn't stack up to what's "current" or coming out soon.

thanks for shopping.

and your 2002 v60g is a work of art?

After all what you said, you still say you're not sure if you actually want to purchase the Panasonic X700?

The Panasonic X700 has the best Voice recognition system of any phone simply because it requires absolutely no training whatsoever... Panasonic X700 is also one of the best looking smartphones ever to be built and if not, the smallest in size... From what I have seen in pictures, 6600's screen was not comparable...

We all know why we want the X700, there is nothing like it....


Posted by: sneakerpimp

did you not read what i wrote above? it's the SAME SCREEN. like i said, CHECK THE SPECS.

both 65k TFT screen!!
both 176x208 px!!

Posted by: Danneck

Well I haven't seen the screen so I can't really comment about it but I know that when the GD87 came out it had a much better screen than phones with similair resolution specs.

What i'm saying is that even though it may has the same pixel size there might be a different in the quality of the screen.

Thank you thats what I meant.


Posted by: panaDamir

in one way we all have right to say that x700 is a little better......
but g.. damm ......will this waiting allmost 1 year be satisfied when we grab that phone in our hands and view all his capabilites

Actually with regards to voice recognition, many of the new lineup of phones already contain a recognition system that doesn't require training... take for example, Nokia 6260, Motorola MPX-220


Posted by: lost_rebel

This is simple, if you do not like the Panasonic hype, then do not read this forum. Duh, people here like the panasonic products. Most are already early adopters and are aware of the other products on the market but still choose to wait for the 'outdated' Panasonic technology. BTW, can you name another handset running the Symbian or any other smart phone that is running a duel processor system? All Panasonic products seem to be lagging in cutting edge features, but all are better looking, usually run better and more reliable than their competitors. Generally this is why people pay more for Pana products than the equivalent 'other' brand.
If you don't want a X700, go ahead and buy your megapixel phone, join their thread, hype it up and after bragging about it, leave us alone!
Thanks for playing!

The 6260 is perhaps the most depressing smartphone ever... Terrible photos and video clips, awful MP3 playing and really poorly built...

As for the voice recognition system, I own the phone and it needs training my friend...

As for the MPx220.... if you havent seen these photos... then you'd better do it now... http://www.phonemag.com/index.php/w...digital_camera/

My Panasonic P341i has better photos than this GREAT (as some say) Mpixel phone... Suxx...

Pana for ever...

Sneakerpimp, don't you think its a tad asinine to attack a post that was made in March now? Just a thought.


Posted by: sneakerpimp

I'm not the one who came out with attitude.

I simply pointed out notable items of mention on the X700's specs. It's called BUYER BEWARE. The problem for most of these substance-less replies is that it's coming from die-hard Panasonic fans. Brand dedication can be blinding. I used to be a hardcore Nokia user but I dipped into other handset manufacturers to see for myself what is out there. In short, specs do all the talking! I never once proclaimed my 6600 was the god of all cellphones. But if people want to take it there, I can roll with that angle too.

I simply stated that Panasonic is late at this stage of the game. Motorola, Nokia, and Sony Ericsson are already pushing the bar with megapixel equipped cams, stereo speakers, 850 band inclusion, EDGE, even GSM/3G inclusion! The items on the X700 are great, the flip form factor is awesome, it's just that it's missing more. The more that is now the standard when compared to the rest of the market. One year ago, the X700 would've been the clear choice. Now? Not so sure.

As for my comment about commenting about an old post? I'm not the one who resurrected it. Mr.Hello-Moto aka w1ck3d, brought this one up from the grave with his trusty V60g. My first initial post was after I did a search on hofo for the X700. Why? because I was interested in this phone myself being a Series 60 fan. If you have something to say to support this phone then state it factually but simply saying "your 6600 is ugly" holds no weight and shows your true colors.

where's the mods on this one?

"In order to show off the OS, Motorola has equiped the MpX220 with a "Bleeding Edge" Texas Instruments OMAP 1611 Dual Core Processor. This processor combines a ARM926 and a TI Digital Signal Processor with a set of dedicated hardware accelerators for video, Java and security. The ARM core and the Digital core share external memory via a traffic controller. This processor is capable of being clocked up to 204mhz and the potential for its processing power is greater than a 400mhz Xscale processor according to the experts." quoted from BengalBoy's MPX220 review...

Yes, I am aware of its rather poor camera quality. That's why I use my digital camera to take pictures and not with my phone...

Maybe you should check your manual, it does support voice recognition without training...

If you can get someone to translate that for you, it's stated in this flash presentation...

I am too upset on the various downfalls of these 2 phones, but I have no control over them and it's just the nature of consumer culture, which is based on the creation of dissatisfaction... If a company is able to offer you the PERFECT phone, what would make you to continue to consumer/purchase its future product?


Posted by: w1ck3d

rofl...it gets you off that i said it's ugly lol

i love you too!

oh and btw, it IS ugly...my god

u can say my v60g is ugly i don't care lol

but ugh 6600? dayyymn

i'll talk to you later munchkin


Posted by: sneakerpimp

w1cked, 65 posts and a v60g makes you a very sad n00b. keep fabricating the reality you live in if it makes you feel better. i know you probably won't understand what i just wrote, perhaps if i text it over to you you'll understand on your monochrome 24x24 pixel screen.

you're wasting my time and the bandwidth on this board. smarten up buddy.


Posted by: w1ck3d

lol thanks for the comments...they were really enlightening...if i'm wasting your time...then why post back to me? =)

as always, much love to you

oh yeah, posting almost 1000 times on a forum...lol....and you think i waste YOUR time lol...cry much?


Posted by: Moderator HF 3

Looks like this thread has gotten off topic...get it back on topic or it will be closed.

On another note: flaming will not be tollerated - PERIOD. Some of the posts here have bordered flaming; I'd hate to send people on a vacation from Howard Forums for that.

Thanks.


Posted by: Jaxboro

I understand sneakerpimp. I actually love the 6600 and I am eagerly awaiting the 6630.

i do think the X700 is very attractive, but its on par with the 6600, which is past its prime as well. If the X700 come out now, it gets slaughtered, even though its a nice form factor. Its even later to the party than the Sendo X, so late it might as well stay home.

Maybe Pana will update it to what is upcoming from everyone else.
