Hmmm... so we can expect quite a few puny 3G phones soon?
T230 >> T610 >> Ngage QD >> N73 >> N85 >> Omnia HD >> And countless other review units |

A pity...just bought a VS6 as a secondary phone to my P900 and I really think its a job well done for a phone only costing around £100 from CPW(IMHO).
Some fond memories of the GD87 from a few years back,the wife's miniscule GD55 that she had two years ago,etc.
Sayonara,Panasonic GSM. 'Twas fun while it lasted...

this means more market share for other brands.

I like the X70 clamshell fone, but the features were way too inferior when compared with those of the - Bird's or Sagem's  !

Yippee! Panasonic might make great Stereos, but they should definitely give up on Mobiles, their designs and interfaces are tricky and annoying to use.

On some of their basic phones I agree with the above statement,but I totally disagree as regards their last gsm phones like the VS6.
You don't have to obviously just take my word for it though...
if you haven't had a chance to fiddle with,say a VS6 or whatever,go to your nearest CPW and see if they have a demo model.
Just my opinion of course,but I believe in giving credit where I feel credit is due...
Chalk and cheese compared to their earlier attempts, IMHO.

I suppose... The VS6 is a smart little phone, its just their previous track record that puts me off.
