The GD87/88 seems to have as many fans as critics, and both equally sure that they're right... ;-) If you've gotten a good one (meaning no bugs, lemons, fakes) then chances are it's lasted long enough to be considered a good value. For some reason, though, for a long time there was a price premium on this phone that was unjustified (other comparable phones weren't quite so expensive). In any case, considering this was one of the first true 'camera phones', it wasn't just a novelty item, but actually a decent phone in it's own right. The screen, by the way, was and perhaps still is, one of the best out there. What would I change about this phone? Earpiece volume has been often criticized as being too low and hollow. If you live outside major urban areas, the reception might leave something to be desired too. Bluetooth was avaible when this phone came out, but sadly was not included. Would I buy this phone again? Yes, because it has served me well for 4 years, I like the way it looks even today, no significant problems have arisen, and I've put SIM cards into it from Asia, Canada, Europe and the Middle East hassle (and contract) free.
Thanks for reading...

I've had my GD88 since Dec.02 and it's been so reliable. Even through dropping the phone, all software remains sharp. I believe the accessibility of the menus are much easier than the competitors' phones. The camera still holds its quality next to those new overpriced ones on the market.

Panasonic does software for this phone. you can download it from their website. they dont make it obvious and it took me around 30 mins to find it through google and other websites. Panasonic are being real bastards. ( pardon the french) but here is the address for the PC editir tool. hope it helps.

This mobile fone is durable...but...
Not user friendly... imagine when browsing the name in your fonebook, you need to scroll until you get the name you want...unlike in nokia... what a stuff... camera is good...but you can't develop it... it pixelised.
Where can i find the housing for this unit? please help me

On a scale of 1 to 10, I give it 8 for the camera, sound and display qualities. Can anyone please tell me where I can get full housing replacement online? And also what does the cellphone icon on top of the phonebook icon (bottom left hand corner) mean? How to get rid of it?
