A friend of mine has got one phone like this. I guess it's nice and so on,but toooooooo small! And it doesn't have special features so if you need just a phone to can talk and send SMS from it,it's perfect,but if you want kind of laptop,camera,video,etc,it's not.

very cute phone with good sound tunes and good reception. the key-pad is better for someone with delicate fingers. good show-phone though. i sold it for something more sophisticated.

My situation is similar. I set my phone alarm last nite and it didnt go off this morning and when i eventually woke up, i looked at the phone and the screen was going crazy, i went into the menu and it was still going crazy, moving from side to side and slowly the menu was going off the screen. I switched it off and when i switch it back on, all i get is a dark blue screen and the buttons light up, nothing else. i havent dropped it or anything, i treat it like a lump of gold! can anyone help?

Im a guy and used this fone 4 a year, i have since change to a samsung e600 and currently a motorola v3 razr. it was always grabbing peoples attention when i was out clubbing and girls always took it off me 2 play with it! the buttons were very small, but fone convenient size. I do think this is a girls fone but took me a year to realise this. Features r ok, but not great. Go for this fone if you r a young girl, you wont b disappointed.

Ok, i've had this phone for a year, and have to say i have mixed feelings about it.

First of all, it's small and neat, and the number buttons are easy to press (as someone mentioned before, easier than the larger top buttons). I'm mystified by people who claim it's 'ugly' - has anyone actually *seen* one? It's a lot better looking than a lot of Nokias,let me tell you....but unfortunately, the functionality is not quite as straightforward as most Nokias!

So before you buy this phone consider the following:
Are you going to be irritated by the lack of speed-dialling? (i am!) and the inefficent way the menu is constructed (the 'shortcut' option just isn't enough of one!).
The biggest design flaw, however, is the keypad lock - someone has been silly enough to make it a matter of pressing the same button three times over, which means it is always coming unlocked in my bag!

It's true that battery life is a bit poor and the phone doesn't really give you enough warning before it goes dead either. However, like the G50, the chargers are so tiny that you can carry them around in your bag easily.

In the G50's favour, it is definitely unique and an attention-grabber.
Panasonic certainly seems to lead the way in designing phones that are innovative-looking (if a little ropey on the functional side of things sometimes!)and should be applauded for being daring.
It's also a delight to be able to fit it into almost any pocket (until the keypad comes unlocked, that is!!) and the ringtones amd games are cute and fun.

I wouldn't hesistate to buy one for a teenage girl, and it's been entertaining (if a little frustrating!) for 28 yr old me for a year now. A little bit of re-design on the interface side of things would go a long way.

It's nearly time for a upgrade, however. I'd like to buy another tiny panasonic, and hope to find they've resolved the annoying locking issue, added speed-dialling, and given you a scheduler that actually *alerts* you when an appointment is imminent (what's the point otherwise??).

Whatever they come up with, i hope they continue with their weird and wonderful designs.

very dissapointed not finding the auto power on feature, it only has power off but that does not work if alarm is set so not effective. small size but low on features. would not recommend it

All of you who think this phone is a gem are out of touch with reality. I bought this piece of crap six months ago. For starters its small to handle, buttons cramped together like sardines and then it used to cut off because it couldn't receive and send signal. It used to fall for no other reason then its sheer small size. In a word a piece of panasonic junk. However one day two weeks a go it met its death because it fell and I lost my patience with it. I reverted back to my old faithful nokia 3410. Full Stop.

this phone sucks!! i have had it for nearly a year. i loved it when i got it, but now i dont. it turns off on its own, even when it is charging. sometimes it turns back on, but sometimes i have to take the battery out for at least 2 hours (even with a charged battery). and sometimes when i get a call, a different ring tone will sound, and wont shut off when i answer the phone, so again i have to take the battery out. it looks cute and all, but i would not recommend this phone. other people i know have also had several problems with this phone.
