PANASONIC GD55
Posted: Tue Jul 03, 2007 4:23 am
Back in 2003 i think, my aunty went over to indonesia, she came back with 2 tiny little pansonic gd55's. they cost her around $750 for the two of them. A few months on she gave them both to me. There pretty kool phones and im currently buying them cheap off ebay and refurbishing them. the tricky part is ordering the covers, batterys and housing from hong kong.
A little review. (by me)
The Panasonic GD55 mini mobile is a simple phone for almost everyone. If your the type of person that doesent need a huge bulky mobile phone with all these mp3 features and high tech bluetooth designs, this is the phone for you. The phone is about half the length of a regular phone and is about the 3 quarters the thickness.
It has an external antenna for good reception and a loudspeaker for times when you cant be stuffed holding a phone up to your ear 24/7. It has a lanyard so you can hang it around your neck or even connect it to your jeans. The vibrating function on it its really strong and the 4 chord polyphonic ringtones are loud and clear.
Its wap browser works fine and its battery life is probably the best you can find. On average the battery lasts up to 4/5 days fully charged so its great for traveling, and the charger for it is half the size of a standard charger.
Its features are pretty standard like calandar, T9, Calculator, Wap and more but its still great for an all round phone. Its also a great attention finder because everytime you pull it out people wil be amazed of its size (no pun intended).
Overall its a great phone for everyday use, 7/10
