Hey I was looking into the Panasonic X800 and it looks like a good phone. I just have one question. If I use it under T-Mobile, is it possible to make your own ringtones? If anyone has an answer to this question please email me asap! mikekhounviseth@tmail.com

Zen,

Many factors which freeze the phone. Too many programme running at the same time is one of the issue.

May be you have too much stuffs inside your phone. Try to load off some unless things and see whether it helps.

Or you can reinstall your firmware or simply master reset your phone.

Please do remember backup of your important data before so.

This phone is similar with NOKIA 6600. UI looks alike. so if you like Symbian & also wan to be stylish, forget BULKY N6600 and buy X800.

Actually I have a similar question with roy's. I remember seeing this type of cel in Japan but a little different. The one in Japan cannot play mp3's or a particular music player unless you download a music player of an mp3 player and install it in the phone. The songs can be saved in the SD card and be played on the phone if software is installed. What about the X800? Does the X800 has to be processed in the same way?

I have a question with the specifications. I understand this does not have a mp3 player. However, is it possible to play songs not through mp3? Such as a different type of media player. Or does it only have a midi system where it plays the digital sounds?

Hey ninha,
glad to be of help. now i don't know how the new v3 battery life is, but if it is anywhere close to what the original v3 is, it's not as bad as the x800...i'd say the x800 has about 2/3 the life of the v3.

Ian Quismo, thank you a lot, again!

i was confused because some people were saying that motorolas phones are awful, but now i realizes that v3i is really good for me :D

the only bad thing is that.. everybody has v3.
and the battery time isn't so long. but that's ok.

the things you said about cingular and t-mobile don't apply for me because i live in brazil, but thanx anyway!

you really helped me!! :D

to answer some of your questions...

although it does come with the extra blue face and tools, no you can't change the white back...which is why i just stick with the white face plate.

as far as comparison to the v3i, i'd say you made the right choice. the v3i is practically different in all functional aspects when compared to the previous razr's. the 1.23 megapixel camera, itunes, microSD slot, all make it much better than the previous v3's, which I had before the panasonic x800. the x800 is very capable as it does have a lot of functions, customizing, etc., but i'd like to say that the v3i is a lot more capable besides the fact that the x800 has quickOffice, but then again, who on earth wants to look at an MS Office document on that small screen?

size-wise, they're very similar, the x800 ix probably 1-2 mm thicker (folded), and 2-3 mm taller (folded, so 4-6 mm taller when open).

for personalizing the menus and what not, the x800 and v3 are on the same level...but for the home screen, the v3 blows away the x800. only two customizable home keys, while the v3 has the two top buttons, as well as the 4 directional keys, and if 6 wasn't enough, you can use the "shortcut" feature with the MENU KEY + a number.

if you want functionality and can afford it, go for the v3i, if you want looks and uniqueness, the x800 is the one.

i chose the x800 'cause it was made available to me for a mere $100 from my roommate who is from Hong Kong.

also, if you have cingular, the x800 isn't the best since the only US frequency band the x800 has is 1900mhz. which is why I use it for my t-mobile phone (t-mobile only operates on 1900mhz). cingular with at&t uses both 1900 and 850mhz, so you won't be able to use both towers with the x800. i tried theh x800 on my personal phone (cingular), and i get crappy signals in places where i normally have a great signal (probably locations that have a stronger signal on the 850mhz band).

Ian QuismO;

your review was very helpful to me!! :D

i'm looking for a cellphone with a good camera, mp3 player, memory card slot and long battery time.

i had decided to buy a v3i because it's very thin and it has airplane mode, but now i'm not so sure if it is as good as i think.

is this panasonic much bigger than v3? and is it as personalizeble (i don't know the right word :P) as v3??

thanxx

i just got this phone a couple weeks ago. battery life is on the short side, but liveable for me as i am always around a charging source, either my car or home charger.

To answer some questions:

-bluetooth issue: when pairing a device (such as a headset), pairing does not necessarily mean connecting. after you PAIR your headset with your phone, you must connect to it with the x800, it does not automatically connect once you pair the two.

-ringtones: with the included software, i was able to transfer 30 second song clips (it takes about 30 seconds for a call to be sent to my voicemail) to the SD card in the phone via the included USB cable. the catch is, they're WAV files, but still work fine, the included software converts the bit rate and format for you. and yes you can assign different ringtones to different caller groups.

-camera: yes it's a 640x480 vga camera, but WAYYY better than my razr's camera.

-service provider issue: i have both cingular and t-mobile (work and personal phones), but with either sim card in the panasonic x800, it says CINGULAR as the provider. i called t-mobile and they say that they share towers with cingular and the tower with the strongest signal will be displayed on this particular phone, which in my area (san francisco), is 95% of the time, cingular...sometimes it says "AT&T".

-user interface: menus are nice, user interface is straight forward, although color themes can take a while to load.

-ring profiles: about 5 of them, all can be customized, 4 can be renamed ("general" cannot be renamed). when vibration is enabled, vibration does not pulse, it is a constant vibration until each sound file ends...so if you have a 30 second long ringtone, it will vibrate the entire 30 seconds or until you answer the phone.

-screen: main screen is very vibrant, better than my razr, outside lcd screen is color, and does show a picture of the person calling (if you assign any pictures to phone contacts).

-push button: the auto-open button is indeed useful, and fortunately, you can turn off "auto answer when open"

-earpiece: earpiece can be a tad louder, but it is indeed loud enough, more treble than other phones, but this does add clarity.


ratings:

Looks: 9/10
Functionality: 9/10
Battery life: 6/10
Camera: 8/10 (would get the full 10 if it was a megapixel camera)
Reception: 8/10
