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

I have been using this phone for one year. All the other feathers are good but the battery. Seems like the battery died very fast (less than 24h in standby mode). Is it the battery's problem?

The phone is very cool physically! However, the software is very bad, and the battery life is very short:(

i've been using this phone for more than a year now, all i can say is that the cool factor is there with its auto opening one push button as whenever there's a call, u just take it out and with one touch on the silver button, pop goes the weasel lol...its long i must say but the phone looks real slick and smooth when u held it to ya ears, the cover of the phones can be changed to varieas color, mine is smooth black as i'm in the business world so no fancy stuff for me, there's white and red, and some textile covers as well...battery is a downer as it last only half day max if u use it more than 2hours to talk and a few text lets say around 10 to 15. button is real good and symbian is nice. if u hold on to the menu button longer than a sec, u will see all the unclosed programs that u've accessed before so its good to know if some one has tempered wit ya phone and check through ya stuff...not many ppl would know these function though as they dont really teach u in the manual book. screen is good and camera is so so cant complain much since its vga. set back would be some times it hangs and restarts itself, its like a pc, it needs to reboot itself for smoother operation lol....memory card is good as its mini sd, but the damn phone cant play no mp3 unless thrid party software lol....big time disappointment on tat...outside display will some times set to difault as it shows either mono time or digi time...beside numbers the rest of them dont glow in the dark so beware texting in dark to ya love ones lol.... games are not bad buti doubt anyone there would bother playing with it...real video player to watch ya mp4...voice recorder not bad, speaker phone good as well...so far the phone hasnt really let me down tat much am using it still...so try it out for that cool factor of auto push opening...aye..no phone has such a kicker...lol..heads would turn and they would ask to see it them selves lol....ho ho ho
