Panasonic G50 - User Reviews

  • cafergot tablets

  • Fantastic little unit - if you just want a phone.... None of the modern gimmicks but in return, you get an extremely portable backup unit which will keep it's battery for months until you need it. It even has a useable speakerphone for those, like me, with big hands ! The only downside is that people think that it's a toy ....

  • bad bad very bad fone,the way it used 2 shut off its battery n even wen i was takin on the fone was the worst thing which can happen 2 a person

  • i thougth this was the best phone ever! i had it for about 2 years and nothing ever went wrong! the only thing bad about it was the teenee wee buttons! lolapart from that, a fantastic mobile!

  • Great phone at first. Had problems with backlight burning out as well as the external speaker burning out. All happened within 2 weeks of attaining phone. Other than that, it is a very cool little phone.

  • Its an exallent little gadget!!!

  • I can't believe this phone was sold so widely. Women love it because of the size, but it has a big design fault: the keyboard. Writing a SMS is impossible for standard size fingers (99% of human kind), or even for women large nails!!

  • Small,great phone! Smaller tha the VK Mobile VK2000!!!!!!!!!

  • How could this this phone be any better?The Panasonic G50 is A++++++++++++++++++++++

  • This phone is the Best of the Best!Small,cute and works great.The Panasonic G50 is a must have!Some people are never happy with a phone.There is no better phone than this!

  • This phone is GREAT!Battery life is good.Size is good.Phone is the best!

  • The phone is the smallest!This is the coolest phone on the market today.Performance is good.I rate the Panasonic G50 a 10!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Everybody has a flip phone, but nobody has a phone this small!everybody wants to see it.The phone is great!Works great.

  • A great phone in every way!This phone is a solid 10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I bought the G50 phone LESS than a month ago... I initially thought that this phone was what i was looking for! It is so convenient and small.... i just loved it! But... Not for long, The battery life is crap, the exit/no button is so close to the "def" key that when typing text messages, it just exits the screen and you have to start all over again... you NEED to have tiny hands... ( I am an average thin female and its still hard), and finally to top all this off... it stopped working!!! I was talking on the phone and it faded to nothing, The screen faded and went blank and it does not turn ack on at all! What a piece of CRAP!!! Do not buy this phone!! It has not only happened to me... 3 other friends of mine had the same thing happen! its not worth the money! Buy something better like the samsung T500!!!! Now THAT is a chicks phone!!! xox

  • I like sth small, g50 fit my style, but like one said the battery is bad, and i can't find sofeware for g50.

  • I have a G50, and will not advise to buy it anymore. Bad battery, display got blank after using it for some months and after getting repaired it, again got blank display. It is just a show off phone.

  • You can not hear it at outsite and talk because of volume level is very very low also battery only gets 1 or 1,5 day. it is small and fits to everywhere. in my opinion dont waste of your money and get another phone...

  • I have a G50 and it is not a bad phone but the keys are to small to send msgs but its nice to show off with, with your friends...can any1 tell me what the price is though?

  • this is not a comment but can sum1 pleez help! i have a g50 and the contrast had suddenly gone dark...whoever has a g50 could they pleez send a step by step walkthru as to make the contrast adjustement lighter (considerin dat i cant see da screen)...pleez send to [email protected] help would be appreciated...and i gess there for i do hav an opinion...afta time the g50 can mess up.

  • A friend of mine has got one phone like this. I guess it's nice and so on,but toooooooo small! And it doesn't have special features so if you need just a phone to can talk and send SMS from it,it's perfect,but if you want kind of laptop,camera,video,etc,it's not.

  • hey can anybody tell is this the g50 better then the g51

  • like this is the cutest phone ive ever seen in my life it'll be a dream if it has an fm-radio what do you think guys agree?

  • very cute phone with good sound tunes and good reception. the key-pad is better for someone with delicate fingers. good show-phone though. i sold it for something more sophisticated.

  • My situation is similar. I set my phone alarm last nite and it didnt go off this morning and when i eventually woke up, i looked at the phone and the screen was going crazy, i went into the menu and it was still going crazy, moving from side to side and slowly the menu was going off the screen. I switched it off and when i switch it back on, all i get is a dark blue screen and the buttons light up, nothing else. i havent dropped it or anything, i treat it like a lump of gold! can anyone help?

  • can sum1 help me, iv got a g50 and its just stoppid working on me and isnt turning back on. what do i do??????

  • Im a guy and used this fone 4 a year, i have since change to a samsung e600 and currently a motorola v3 razr. it was always grabbing peoples attention when i was out clubbing and girls always took it off me 2 play with it! the buttons were very small, but fone convenient size. I do think this is a girls fone but took me a year to realise this. Features r ok, but not great. Go for this fone if you r a young girl, you wont b disappointed.

  • this phone was so crap i had to get a new one. the signal was terrible. it took ages to load messages and contacts and its not practical

  • Ok, i've had this phone for a year, and have to say i have mixed feelings about it. First of all, it's small and neat, and the number buttons are easy to press (as someone mentioned before, easier than the larger top buttons). I'm mystified by people who claim it's 'ugly' - has anyone actually *seen* one? It's a lot better looking than a lot of Nokias,let me tell you....but unfortunately, the functionality is not quite as straightforward as most Nokias! So before you buy this phone consider the following: Are you going to be irritated by the lack of speed-dialling? (i am!) and the inefficent way the menu is constructed (the 'shortcut' option just isn't enough of one!). The biggest design flaw, however, is the keypad lock - someone has been silly enough to make it a matter of pressing the same button three times over, which means it is always coming unlocked in my bag! It's true that battery life is a bit poor and the phone doesn't really give you enough warning before it goes dead either. However, like the G50, the chargers are so tiny that you can carry them around in your bag easily. In the G50's favour, it is definitely unique and an attention-grabber. Panasonic certainly seems to lead the way in designing phones that are innovative-looking (if a little ropey on the functional side of things sometimes!)and should be applauded for being daring. It's also a delight to be able to fit it into almost any pocket (until the keypad comes unlocked, that is!!) and the ringtones amd games are cute and fun. I wouldn't hesistate to buy one for a teenage girl, and it's been entertaining (if a little frustrating!) for 28 yr old me for a year now. A little bit of re-design on the interface side of things would go a long way. It's nearly time for a upgrade, however. I'd like to buy another tiny panasonic, and hope to find they've resolved the annoying locking issue, added speed-dialling, and given you a scheduler that actually *alerts* you when an appointment is imminent (what's the point otherwise??). Whatever they come up with, i hope they continue with their weird and wonderful designs.

  • I JUSt bought this phone and i LOVE it...for those people that cussed it out..they have way too high expectations! Its so cheap and it offers everything u need to make a call and recieve a call! And i have gotten so many comments on its cute looks! It is simple, elegent and cute! No problems so far!

  • very dissapointed not finding the auto power on feature, it only has power off but that does not work if alarm is set so not effective. small size but low on features. would not recommend it

  • All of you who think this phone is a gem are out of touch with reality. I bought this piece of crap six months ago. For starters its small to handle, buttons cramped together like sardines and then it used to cut off because it couldn't receive and send signal. It used to fall for no other reason then its sheer small size. In a word a piece of panasonic junk. However one day two weeks a go it met its death because it fell and I lost my patience with it. I reverted back to my old faithful nokia 3410. Full Stop.

  • i need the seting's for the wap gprs or csd you can send me

  • its small trendy very good phone and tri band make it complite phone

  • its a cute fone it has vibrate and the areial can fit into the fangiter

  • its fantastic

  • the battery runs out to quick, games are crap only 3 levelsand it has no back up!!

  • hey...i have the G50 cellphone...i`ve locked this mobile in wrong :( the mobile is locked now and the card (sim) ... can someone help me plz?? i need the code for the PUK and the mobile...thanks...msg me at [email protected]

  • this phone sucks!! i have had it for nearly a year. i loved it when i got it, but now i dont. it turns off on its own, even when it is charging. sometimes it turns back on, but sometimes i have to take the battery out for at least 2 hours (even with a charged battery). and sometimes when i get a call, a different ring tone will sound, and wont shut off when i answer the phone, so again i have to take the battery out. it looks cute and all, but i would not recommend this phone. other people i know have also had several problems with this phone.

  • veri well

  • nice

  • Really nice phone, missing data link and gprs and buttons just a tad too small, but in general it's a winner. smal light easy to use, nice looking clear screen great sound from the polyphonic!! excellent phone no problems at all either.

  • typical guy thing to say: hey you girls will love this phone, does not take any brain power at all to use it! perfect for females, beacuse all it has is cute design!

  • The battery system need be modified.I have a single one why?

  • This is a pretty good phone although it isnt really aimed at the guys, its more of a girls phone, which is reflected with the limited ammount of wallpaper designs. the buttons are very small, however it does have a few gr8 points too, the games are ok, but the ringtones are excellent ! however, generally aimed at a phemal phone user. buy it if your a girl, you will love it !

  • i just got the panasonic g50 a month ago and absolutley love it. Before i bought the phone i decided to read some reviews on it to get other peoples opinion. Well, alot of people wrote negative stuff and i got confused..but still i bought it to see for myself. I am glad i bought it and didn't go by what people had written. Alot of people said that its hard to press the keys...some said they're so small u need a toothpick....well...thats not true..i acctually find the number keys to be easier to press than the larger ones at the top...and some people had also written that the person thats on the other end can't hear u properly and u can't hear them loud either...hmm what can i say..thats also not true...the person on the other end is very loud and clear..once i gave my phone to my friend and asked her to call me and she was very clear too....so i don't know what phone people use and write about...because to me...the panasonic g50 is a great phone. I got it on my 16th birthday..but i have to admit that the only thing that isn't so great about it is the battery life...it lasts for about 3-4 days with regular use...otherwise...i strongly recommend this phone to whoever...and about features...i think the only major feature it doesn't have is the camera..and most people just need a phone for games SMS and calling....and that it definatley has. So if your thinking of buying this phone...go ahead and don't be confused beacause i was after reading some reviews but ended up having a great experience. --bye..

  • can anyone tell me where i can get free ringtones and wallpaper downloaded, pls? thanks in advance.

  • doEs tHis phoNe suPpoRt chiNese chAractErs?? pLs teLL mE a.s.A.p. ..TQ!

  • i think the person who wrote "i think the person who rote "i think the phone is kinda cute but to girly for a guy to own this phone" is wrong i am a guy ang i have a g50 and its the best phone in the world" is a SISSY GUY.

  • i own 1 unit of g50 but my problem is i dont know how to download ringtones and wallpapers..please send me some info about this matter.......thanks in advance.

  • It is the best and beautiful phone.

  • hi,i would like to know is it the G51e(pink) really no keypad light?and y only the pink dun hav?plz let me know coz i'm buying the pink G51 tomolo coz i heard the G50 got some problem with the phone..ppl who buy that phone has complain about tat...

  • i think the person who rote "i think the phone is kinda cute but to girly for a guy to own this phone" is wrong i am a guy ang i have a g50 and its the best phone in the world

  • wonderfull

  • i think the phone's kinda cute, but too girly for a guy to own this phone.

  • Can u email me ur opinion on dis phone, wether it is worth buying or not. I would like 2 get dis or sendo M550.

  • Ofcourse there are keyboard lights. There's a magnificent blue light around the buttons!

  • does the keypad have lights? i know the G51e (pink one) has no keypad lights, what about this model? I am asking because they look quite similar. would love to know because i am about to order this one.

  • i love the product and will wish toown one though i have no money. i don't know whether it will possible coz i'm a panasonic fan.

  • I'd like to know if it's easy to push the keys when typing a sms. Sms is not a priority in my eyes because I'll make more calls. If the use of the keyboard isn't that easy, I should consider to buy the bigger G60. Any comments would be welcome! Thanks.

  • the panasonic G50 is soo cool it has really great features loads better and reliable than a nokia. it also has great games and colour wallpaper, one word EXELLENT!!!

  • I used to have gd55 but when I saw g50 i immediately bought it! Coz it's colored screen! So cool! Like it! Loved it!

  • I orderd a G50 red Order # 33824 . Wondering on the process of that status

  • The SMS is slow upon reaching thirty characters. Where is the SMS group sending? Tones for incoming messages have a short duration. So far those are the things I've noticed. I am used to Siemens phones which are really very efficient. I bought the G50 because it's cute. I knew from the start that it's a very basic mobile phone but I bought it anyway. Overall, it's a good phone and very eyecatching. Like a toy. Am happy to have it just for fun. For special purposes like GPRS and java, I just used my Siemens M55.

  • According to several reviews on the net, it's a great phone. The signal sensitivity is very good, the audio quality very good and the color screen top quality. A minor point are the small buttons but you're used to it after a while. A very light phone and several download possibilities like wallpapers, polyphonic ringtones and so on. For users who need more connectivity like Bluetooth should pass on to the other models of Panasonic. Anyway, a great phone!

  • can anyone tell me what they would recommend between the pan g50 and gd55? it would be helpful thanks.

  • need to put it in english trasnslation

  • To me, it goes well with ladies but for men......I think too small or childish & when you talk, do not whether the caller can hear you.

  • Nice design,light on the pocket but expensive and features ain't all that.

  • Looks good!

  • I had a GD55, loved it so much, mini and easy to use. Now I see this, I wanna get this. Check out the latest G51~!

  • Great phone!

  • it's not easy 2 download

  • I saw the ad in the newspaper today and I really went crazy.Now I just want to exchange my panasonic gd55 mobile and get this one.

  • I have this phone, i really like it- overall the phone is good- i think for its size it functions great, and the speakerphone feature is very convenient.

  • request : ringtones for the G50 (Israel)

  • Its a nice cell phone i have it and i like it very much its just i can't find ringtones for it yet cause i live in a place that doesn't support this cell phone and i can't find any wap server that i can download from it. if any1 can help me finding server for middle east users it'll be great :)

  • fun, cute, light, but reception is so-so and the volume is low unless you use the hands-free. My batteries only last 40 hours on standby and I emailed Panasonic to inquire and their customer support was very poor and not helpful at all. Plus you'll have to endure non stop idiotic comments like, "oooh the Zoolander phone!"

  • good,small,beauty,i like small,stylish

  • Excellent looking phone with the size to fit anywhere. would be nice to know when the phone is available and how much so i can have money ready. when this info is available let me know......

  • what is the wholesale price for the Panasonic G50?????

  • though i don't have this phone, i appriciated with panasonic because this is the smallest and lightest color screen cell phone in the world so no need to say anything more.

  • Price & shipping og G50 panasonic

  • this is sooooo ugly

  • i wanna get the gd55 but i just saw this one gd50 were can i get the gd50? it's alot better then the gd55.please someone help me.

  • Looks great, this phone should be out in the third quarter of 2003. I'm gonna buy it as a replacement for my old GD75.

  • is this a great phone? which is better g50 or gd55? how much is the two?

  • this phone is disgusting looking i think panasonic need to get there eyes tested

  • When will this phone be in the U.S. and how much will it be?

  • The antenna looks so big!

  • this is one of the ugliest h/sets i have seen for a long while. panasonic need to take a long hard look at the design of this phone

  • Does any1 know where I could buy this phone in Indonesia..?

  • The purpose of this site is to give your opinion about these cellphones and not to state your sexual preferences! By the way nice phone.....

  • Innova is right, this phone maybe used by both men and women, diffrent from Samsung phones, those phones used by gays and bitches only

  • I think it can come in black... from what I've seen from the screen....it has one horrible color display... oh well. At least it has 40 cord poly's.

  • I love it, it's small and actractive, I just think it could be better in black
