Panasonic A500 - User Reviews

  • can you give me your panasonic a500 battery i can't find

  • can u give me ur panasonic a500 battery i can't find after many trials

  • how can i get battery of this phone plz help me

  • yes i agree. but as far as i know the reason is because they cant compete with nokia . nokia have more features with less the price. and panasonic is more on quality.

  • lol so dumb and ignorant bastard.. dun even know how to speel !!!!!!!!!!!!!pathetic!!!! lol..wengker..

  • why they did stop the realease of this phone - it looks cool

  • white, black , blue , violet, peach,

  • it`s patetik

  • It could have been a bluetooth and also camera.

  • can you make w/ butterflies and its pink!!!

  • nice color screen and can load own pix, BUT display spoilt by word 'ORANGE' across screen. Believe text can be removed on other phones [ie nokia] but cant find how to clear screen in A500 menue. Can anyone advise? PS battery life at 2.5 days max is really disapointing

  • Looks like chav phone

  • is this fone compatible to bluetooth?

  • Can we send JAVA applications by InfraRed?? If no, then how? Is there any workaround/software,etc to send a JAVA application by IR or SMS??

  • dont you all thing that all clamshells should have interchangable covers like this. or even have a permanant design like this. even high-end ones. that would probably make phones sell

  • cool looks!!!!!!how many colour is available?

  • the covers quite nice - other than that, the ph is not that special! personally, when they intergrated a camera into a ph they did society a great service!keep up with technology, some people just want a ph with no features but people like me like all these added benefits a ph can give!!

  • For your info, this phone is not compatible with U-S carries. So, Don't waste your money one this phone if u live in the U-S:). I am so regret after I bought this phone from UK.

  • i like this phone very much. i already have a nokia 6600 & now i want a small & compact clamshel phone. what is the price of this phone in indian market(delhi)? is this phone available with black xchangeble cover in the standard package?

  • Does anyone know if this phone funtionable in the U.S.

  • attractive model I like it very much.

  • how do u set remainders in a500, gimme the answer soon. pls

  • zinlinmaung, press a button on the side and the lid will flip open automatically. not really useful but cool.

  • can we attach any key chain on da fone?,coz i found no place to do so.is the battery life really poor?how much does it cost in singapore,S$??

  • Great phone, got one from Singapore a few months back...only dispointing thing about it is of course the lack of camera ( oh well for the price tis great ) and the extremely POOR battery life....your lucky to get two full days out of this phone even if it isnt used in that period of time... great looks, great size, and nice colourful Leds colour coordinated lights that flash when your talking, get a message etc.... interchangable face plates are great also... Has a very nice flip to it, clicks and everything... matty

  • The button machanism is at the left side of the hinge. Look at that silver button on the left side near the attena? Just press this button, n it flip open. Some 1 from Toronto want to buy it from me at S$300. This phone comes with No Camera. Cater for those who want a "pure" phone.

  • anyone plz explain me one-push auto open!!! this phone is really nice.ilove it.

  • I got a Brand New Panasonic A500 Handphone. I won it from a contest. How much can i sell in the market? What is the selling prize without 2 yr plan in the market? Who want to buy?

  • to all those who have bought Panasonic A500...i just wanna know if there are any downside regarding this phone "A500", coz I'm planning to buy one, i think this phone is so compact and light, it's so slim. besides no camera, are there any other problems? because for me, camera in a phone is not important at all. i like it's ONE-PUSH auto open feature so much...thanks!

  • well, its kinda stupid carrying both phone and camera at the same tym when u can have it together! lighter, more sensible and convienient. if u want to use the phone, u take out the phone, if u want to use the camera, u take out the phone as well! dont have to dig deep for the camera, besides, u payless for a camera hpone than when u pay it separate. use your common sense... if u have any;p

  • the design is really metallic-like and cool... It's really an ideal phone to show off..

  • This phone design is very style just that there no camera and the keypad design look like X400.

  • hrm..i tink the phone's very nice..unique cover...appeal to e youngsters..

  • nice and appealing...

  • good

  • Well, I will have to agree with with stardust... Ppl can buy a camera instead.. But u see ppl would have to carry both camera and a fone at the same time.. So wouldn't it be more comfortable to carry a fone with a camera.. Although it is a good combination its not that reliable.. the cameras for a fone are not so clear.. But now there are megapixel camera fones.. which is way better now.. So u can consider buying camera fones...

  • A camera is not important in a cell, because if you wanna take pics , you buy a camera ....People that like cameras on cells are insane ! Not that its no good, but its not necessary...theres more important features than that By Stardust-Italy

  • สวยมากค­;ี่ะ อยากได้­;มากแต่Ũ­5;รังไม่$­17;ีค่ะ

  • Love the artistic face plates... very continental and free minded.

  • i think not necessary a phone must has a camera wiht it. there are still users that don't need a camera at all. so this phone is still best.

  • i love phones without cameras. but whats up with the face plate ??

  • no camera?!? are you guys crazy?!?
