  • i used one once and its still there with me though now its more like a collectible.I assure you its a sure head turner.

  • Man O Man!! what the heck is this?? Make-up kit for sure...I think Samsung has all of sudden transferred it's manufacturing dept from mobile phones to makeup kits...LOlZZ!

  • is this a fone? or a copmpass? oh my.. i think its a pocket watch...

  • who? what? why? where? Has anyone EVER used this?.....

  • This is definitely the BRAVE move from designers,i will like too see more alternative designed phones like this one.

  • I have a cutie like this.and I can't use it because I can't write in english ' only read, and some eastern language is used as main language.

  • very nice and cute model.

  • Wow..Wow..Wow..Wow..Wow.. let say it a stunning Phone!Well who would wish to buy this?Well is this a Phone or a Make-Up kit. Definitely cool Phone!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Have been looking for one of these for a year, The only ones off ebay go for AU$120 - $150 and i always miss out. Im a panasonic collector and desperatly want one of these!

  • this is a cool make up kit, basically,- if you're a fool- buy one!

  • wht a make-up box!

  • Hmmmmm......The design is like a POKE ball

  • ths phone has a capacity to block my mental process.

  • yuckss...like a make up kit :P

  • Wrist watch anyone?

  • hahahahahahahha this phone looks so funny i never seen a round circle phone like this hahhahahaha

  • this phone looks like a birth control package. If a call happens to come through while on work, everyone might think you're on the pill.

  • it looks like cricket ball with a pencil stuck in it

  • hahaha funny looking it looks like a ball sack

  • It looks like Eye Drops bottle when closed...

  • is simply fugly

  • its jus like my wife's make up box.

  • i had the panasonic g 70 phone for 2 years, but the singal power was weak. most of my calls were droped because of poor singal. and i'm from Guyana, South America.

  • i thought i wanted one of these but it looks like a birth control pack

  • trust me any one who wants this there wrong! its horrible but i like all the other panasonics its a shame

  • It's like a little makeup carrier with a mirror!

  • Hot!!!

  • i want this phone.

  • yea this fone is really bad during calls, people can barely hear you and all you hear is static noise a lot, and theres no way to get rid of that :( its a reallly really cute and unique looking fone that people rarely have but its horrible when it comes to service on calls

  • if i wanted a plate id gan t the charity shop no spend a 100 quid

  • Honestly don't buy this phone. I've had to get it serviced 4 times now! i'm sick to death of it. The static sucks.. bad.

  • Its just like a foundation kit

  • Even women say it's awful. attractive to look at first sightm but I bet is horrible to own. Not friendly at all and where will women carry it, on a neck-collar?

  • I love this phone and all my girlie workmates want it! It doesn't have many functions but all i wanted was a phone to make and answer calls which it does perfectly without any static, as expressed in other opinions. I live in the UK and the phone was bought in Hong Kong and works 100% perfect. The button on the front of the phone actually connects you to hands free and the flashing light helps you to find your phone in your handbag. The only problem I find is getting used to the layout of the buttons for texting.

  • Hi all, I found a pdf manual in English and many other languages at I bet this would sort out some of the confusion and angst. cheers Caterina

  • this looks like a womans make-up set

  • horrible static, incoming and outgoing... not very user-friendly. light on cover constantly blinking. causes lots of stress. the price you pay for something so cute. watch out though, it has been said to look like a contraceptive pill case.

  • I bought this phone just over a year ago and have expeience static problems from the start panasonic (aust) replaced the flip top under warranty but the static came back and worse. Have given it back again waiting on outcome. I think the phone is a talking point with people and i liked how the buttons were arranged but do find it extremely hard to read when out in the sunlight due to "mirror" maybe if panasonic had spent more time adjusting the faults it would be a great phone. size is good fits into pockets beautifully. loved it in the beginning now wonder why i have it as it is only good for sending text messages ( and it can send really long ones.)

  • I've tried to download ringtones but all I get is an exclamation mark flashing on the screen and have no idea of how to actually access the downloaded ringtone. Can anybody help me?

  • What is the shrap thing on the top? A knife in case someone attacks you.

  • its pretty but when you talk its alot of frequence

  • To CHANGE the LANGUAGE from Chinese to English: Panasonic G70 1. Power on the phone w/Sim Card 2. PRESS MENU key 3. PRESS UP ARROW key four times 4. PRESS MENU key 5. PRESS DOWN ARROW key twice 6. PRESS MENU key twice 7. Select English But wait, there's yet one more thing that you must to do to get your GD55/G50/G51 to work properly if you are in the U.S.... You must select the right band. Here is how to do to that: 1. Press MENU. 2. Select the left bottom icon. 3. Select Networks. 4. Select Band Select and choose 1900Mhz form the drop down MENU. Be sure to select the 1900Mhz option alone, not any combinations of 1900Mhz/and anything else. Allow 10 seconds for your phone to register your SIM card and you're in business ! this was found at:http://www.celluloco.com/products/customer/pa­ges.php?pageid=15 To change the text messaging to English: While on the screen to write a text message press the 'send' key (the blue key on the left with the telephone icon) and it will change the letters from Chinese to English etc. USER MANUAL IN ENGISH: Good Luck everyone!!!

  • I bought the phone - loved the phone - then the static issue. Had it less that 2 months. Couldn't be fixed. Awful static. Recommend stay away from this phone. Very disappointed.

  • Heh! well if this phone fails as a....well a phone well you can take the contraceptive pills it comes with and not get pregnant! lol

  • omg honestly DON'T buy this phone. I bought it for $455 and its such a waste of money. the static SUCKS you can't hear the person your talking to. i recommend EVERYONE NOT TO BUY this phone.

  • I am glad that I have read these reviews. Before I wanted the phone really bad. Now I don't even care for it. Thanks alot folks!

  • oh ^_^ hi again if anyone can help me download cool wallpapers and ringtone for my phone....any ideas thanks a lot

  • hi i got my phone 2 days ago after i read all ur comments guys...i got a good deal on it and honnestly i love the phone i didnt have any pbs with static or sms messaging or the chinese language u talked abt ^_^... it is an eye catcher flashy and girly u will get compliments on it for sure �_�...have a nice day u allll

  • This phone is soooo bad!! I bought it becuase it looked really cool. BUT the reception is terrible! People on the other end of the line can hardly hear you. The charger is flimsy and has a hard time connecting. And when it is charged the battery doesn't last long. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DON'T BUY THIS PHONE! I've had this phone less than 6 months and I need to buy a new one, what a waste of money!

  • I love mine. But what does the button on the front do? Mine flashes white every few seconds, and jingles if I touch it. But what does the button DO? The manual, of course, is in a language I have no hope of decoding.

  • I brought one of these for 99 and she loves it except she keeps trying too make phone calls on her make-up compact unit

  • i think this is possibly a joke or maybe a wmd(weapon of mass destruction)

  • this must be one of the ugliest phones ever... ewww. its even got a pointy thing at the top. i dont think i would EVER recommend this phone to anyone.

  • needs help with my phone loves the look but is a pain in the but*.read most of the reviews and everyone seems to have the same problems basically,especially with the static jenny from page1 seems to have it figured out maybe she can help me,and maybe panasonic should recall them all and give us back our money or a new phone.

  • This phone looks cool, and friends told me that they really liked it. The preformance on the phone plan sucks. It's annoying to change the text messaging from chinese to english, but it's not terrible at all. Also, I never get good service. I never get static as other people have said though. I have Cingular, maybe the phone would be better if I had a different service. I also greatly dislike how the address book works. Other phones organize this much better.

  • I bought this phone for my wife, it broke in less than one month. The screen went blank and wouldn't light up anymore. Everything still works and we can still dial out and receive calls. However the screen is dark and will not display anything at all (the outside screen which gives you the time and reception etc works fine). The online vendor (eXpansys.ca) refused to take any responsibilities. I contacted Panasonic Canada they said this is not a product they distribute and told me to contact Panasonic China. Just shipping cost to and from will be as much as the phone itself so I don't think I will send it to China for fixing! Does anyone know of any ways of fixing this problem? Some of you said you've fixed the G70 a couple times. Do you know where I can send it to (in Canada) for fixing? Thanks alot in advance of any feed back! Ken

  • right, get this... me mates Tanya and Merisha had dis phone right, it was well wierd when dey were texting cus dey looked like they was typin on a mirror or summit lol... But now dey bowf sold dem cus dey was annoyin 4 textin right... Now one has da Nokia 3220 and one as da nokia 8910i. Kepeash

  • i dont think i would ever buy this cr*p phone. looks ugly imagine talking into it while walking down the street ppl would be like (s)he's talking to a mirror. one word DISGUSTING!

  • i want to thank everyone for your opinions. it stop me from making a mistake i was going to buy the phone but you changed my miened.

  • how do i own one? how much are they and where can i get one ... i an in Brisbane QLD Australia...

  • I bought this phone when it first came out. Cost me $460CDN! Only like it cuz it looks different and whenever you push up the mirror appears. Other than that, the static is horrible! It really depends on which phone company your with in order to have "good reception". Because you would have to look at the bandwith. Textin isn't so bad as some people describe it. Although the manual is in chinese, it was pretty easy for me to figure everythin out. You are able to type in english. Because I had a friend who had the same phone we were able to compare the flaws together. The buttons on the phone sticks out to much in a result that it scratches the mirror over time. I know quite a bit about this phone so msg me if you have any questions. I hate it yet i love it...only keepin it for the looks..

  • this phone is pretty cool & looks great too!

  • Love it. However, don't know if its just my phone but I get sooooo much static - sometimes hard to hear caller. Does anyone else have this problem - can it be fixed ?

  • I have just got this phone but am having trouble with texting. On my Nokia if I wanted to type a word that had ' in it I would just type the symbol button like I was typing a letter and it would pick it up. I don't seem to be able to do this on the G70 but I am sure there must be a way. Please help.

  • Just received this phone and I do like the feature of having a mirror. I was wondering if anyone that has this phone knows if when you switch to mirror mode is there a button or something to push that lights up around the mirror part? Also, in the manual it has a picture of the top and it says illuminated back light. Well the thing that sticks out at the top of mine does not light up at all. I was wondering if anyone knows if it is suppose o or not.

  • first of all tell me you, why do you want people to comment in english and you people have the nerve to sell a phone written in chinse and it even has a chinse manual. Please someone help me translate this phone into english. I think i will exploed in a while. I can be email: [email protected] IF SOMEONE CAN HELP ME RIGHT NOW PLEASE I AM BEGGING YOU, HELP ME. I AM WILLING TO PAY THE PERSON AT LEAST $10 - $20 US DOLLAR

  • Is it just me, or does this look like a birth control pill case?

  • This is the ugliest phone I think I have ever seing. It looks like someone took a sh*t and that came out

  • what the hell is this. it looks cr*p

  • hey, i have bought this phone a year ago but i have been fixing this phone for 7 times already and still the bad reception (static) is not fixed. I couldnt hear the caller and they cant hear me, i think this phone is a Panasonic's failure phone. The reception is useless and i guess that doesn't make it a phone at all! the screen is also really hard to see in a bright place because the screen reflects the light.

  • This panasonic g70 i bought about a year ago, but during the year i had to fix it for 7times (really!) because of the worst reception but still its not resolved so i have given up and bought a new phone. It really made me mad because you cant hear the caller and they cant hear you! only the large buzzing sound really annoying, also the screen unless its at night or in dark places, you cant see it because the reflects the light and you cant see it. I wouldnt recommend it to anybody, i think this was panasonic's failed phone.

  • i dont know how panasonic launch that unfunctional phone because it can�t resive ringtones and stufs like that please i want to sell it please help me

  • Ok got the phone prompts to change over to English.. But I have an issue the phone works on my provider T-*Mobile I can make and get calls but the static is HORRIBLE. It always sounds like a bad connection .. Is there anything I can do to stop it? Please help some one out there.

  • its about 110eur...or $140..

  • I just bought this phone it is cute but the actual phone prompts aren't in english.. What should I do can anyone help me ?

  • i love this phone.. its soo cool!! but i cant find a way to get cool ringtones.. can someone who has this phone help me out? i wood really appreciate.. i dont i dont like the ringtones that come with it.. they suck.. please email me.. at [email protected] thanks.. but this phone is sooo cute.. i love it.. i encourage EVERYONE to buy it.. =)

  • How much is this phone

  • Will this phone work on ATT/Cingular network in the USA? I am thinking about buy this, only if it works with my provider. Any advice?

  • I absolutely love mine. I've had so much fun with it already. I wish it did come with pink fluffy covers etc but that can easily be remidied with a little creativity. :o) I have found the same problem with the exclamation point and the extra GPRS on the front screen. If anybody knows what that is about I would love to hear from you. But no biggie. Did have a problem downloading ringtone. But just e-mailed the site and they re-sent it with no problems. I love it. And general price is $600, worth every cent.

  • hey does anyone know how to configure this phone to t-mobile ?

  • Does it have polyphonic ringtones? Some websites say it does and some say it doesnt!! I think its a cool phone, i want one

  • I live in New Zealand and I just bought the G70 whilst on holiday in Australia. Unfortunately I have also found that reception is a pain in the butt, and where I live I often have no signal at all! Very hard to see the screen when you are in the sunlight too...but in saying all that, they aren't in my country yet, and I get LOTS of peolpe saying, "is that your phone???". He he he.

  • I have verizon wireless here in california and this provider does not use SIM cards...can this g70 phone work? pls let me know asap. thank you.

  • I Love it i bought it over a jear ago and i haven't got ant problems with it the only thing i can't seem to figure out is how to download a ringtone... can anyone help me with this? In English or dutch?

  • its cute it looks lyk d compowder from Totally Spies does it have a camera????????

  • HELP! Does anyone know how I can change the language into english? Its in chinese.

  • I can't change the language to English!! Can anyone help me? Have tried language and the dot is hi-lighted on English, but types in Chinese!!!!!

  • its okay

  • I reviewed and looked at everything I could about this phone as I could only find it in 1 retail store in my area but found many on the web. Wanted to make sure it was absolutely what I wanted (PRICEY) as the web was cheaper,but what I worried about was returning it. I really do like it,the size is great,reception is fine (no worse than any other phone I've had, sometimes better!) takes some getting used to,thanks to Angela for the text tip, but all in all I really like my phone!! Make sure it comes with an english manual as some say they only have Chinese manuals.

  • The G-70 is a conversation-piece only. This phone's reception is a source of constant irritation for me. Girls, please stear clear of this phone if you live in the US and have either At&t or Cingular. I've tried a T-mobile sim card in it as well, and STILL had reception issues... As stated it's nice to look at but for an American it's a headache.

  • I like my phone. It is so handy. I love it so I can check makeup. It is so uncommon that I can't use it without getting interupted by someone trying to see it or wanting to hold it..

  • the greatest is less to tell about this pfone!it s real??:))

  • i think it's cute!!!.. im thinking about getting one too...

  • I love this phone. i bought it a couple months back, and i love the reaction i get from people when they see it.i don't have any problems wiht it and it does not only text in chinese you have to change the options. i text all thew time in english.now if i could only download cool ringtones!

  • sophia christophie, Beautiful?! Something's wrong with your taste. I should say the ugliest phone and the lousiest phone I've ever seen!

  • Looks like.. Sux too.. NOt good the function.. i hate it... the other panasonic phone are all good except this one...

  • I would like to know if this panasonic G70 can be used with ATT GSM network and other GSM network.

  • the panasonic G70 is the most beautifull cellphone i ever see....i wish to buy one..

  • Perfect...! for now.

  • I just bought the G70 a couple weeks ago and i love the phone. The only problem is i have a 2nd GPRS sign pop up also with an exclamation point on the screen. i dont know what it is or what it means. I also thought that it could only text in chinese but i found out how to fix that, when in the create message screen press the green call button and it will change to english.

  • I got this phone like 3 months ago .. I loved it because it was so pretty and I liked to show it off .. After a while .. I dropped it alot of times because it was pretty hard to hold. Now it has static every time I use the phone so I have to use the headset all the time. what's the point if you need the headset. So I don't know if this is because I'm dropping it, or if anyone else is having the static problem. I can't even hear anything because of that . and now something happened and a Second GPRS sign popped up and it's not recieving anymore service. anyone know how I can get it fixed? I bought it from Ebay so I doubt I can get warranty.

  • Can you send me a larger picture of the Panasonic G70 Tri Band Phone please if you don't mind, I am interested in this particular phone and would like to take a closer look of this phone. Thanks!

  • i have that phone.. and its not all that great.. the initial shock of the phone is cool.. but im having difficulties loving this phone... bad reception and i hear static most of the time so i just end up puttin on the ear piece to get rid of it.. and cuz it is circular shaped its a lil harder to keep in your hands.. i dropped mine way to many times

  • it's cool!

  • soo...dificult to download ringtones

  • this phone is so cute my room mate has it when i first saw it i thought it was an mp3 i want so bad but it doesnt have a cam so i dont really know.

  • This phone is pretty and nothing else. I would'nt recomend this phone to anyone It's so behind from other cellphones,the reception is horrible the text messaging is in chinese only. the calls drop all the time the ringtones are horrible. This phone is only cute nothing else.

  • I just bought one of these phones in Trinidad at Jumatec, the phone is nice and makes a great gift for my wife but the language for the SMS is in Chinese, so it cannot be used for the purpose intended. I am going to report this to the Bureau of Standard in Trinidad and let them investigate this company for selling this product in Trinidad, If you can help me, let me know.

  • Finally a phone for us girls for years you guys got your trendy phones but all us girls got where cute little covers to dress them in nothing really that matched our handbags. I've had many phones and always go for looks rather than what it can do my last phone was the motorola v70 and I have been searching for a new great looking phone for ages and finally this one comes along ok had to have it imported as they are not available in the UK but so glad I did fantastic colour screen best I've seen wasn't totally sure how the mirror would work but it does such a perfect phone for us girly girls such a eye catcher and like no other phone I've ever seen. Does remind me though of the communicators from galaxy quest :o)

  • One for the ladies, I reckon. Clever design.

  • tres cute phone reception sux!

  • where can i get this phone to buy

  • i love this phone it is so cute! it just came in the mail! i got it in red! good service! i love it!

  • will it too small?? compare to a normal phone?

  • it is beautifull,it have all the functions which i require

  • first impressions are that the picture quality is off a high standard. I was impressed with the sharp gx30 and happy to purchase this unit however the picture quality is as good or sometimes better.

  • It's a bitch phone guys, of course it's gonna seem ugly to us.

  • my opinion was that i love the g70 phone and i want to purchase for it

  • This is easily the most unique-looking phone I've ever seen. Very nice!

  • i like tht mobile gr8 look acc. to me nice set cor is really very fine. but i want want to see one more thing in mobile's category & tht is price list.

  • Do you think it looks like a phone? Or more like a CD player?

  • you're so far...e BEST i'll suport u 4eva

  • I think this is the first circular-shaped handphone I saw.A really exquistite design and a passionate kiss to me.Love at first sight! WELL DONE

  • panasonic phones are really good to be used i normally like

  • Siemens Xelibri!

  • I like the toilet similarity. For improvement install flush button.

  • I love that unique shape. It looks classic and elegant. It gives me a magical feeling, just like a princess with her magic box.

  • ja mam w dupie jaka puderniczka ja bym się bał to włożyć do kieszeni ..... :-/

  • Like siemens xelibri, but better features!

  • i like simplicity

  • where is the mirror and blusher !!!

  • Very-very ugly phone

  • I think this phone is the best phone I have ever seen! It looks like it comes from an other planet and I like that. A cam would be to much but the only reason I won't buy this phone is because it doesn t have a cam. To al GSM-lovers how want a phone without cam should buy this . Especially whomen. I want to congratualate the people how made this phone. I have a GD-67 and I thaugt that Pana sux but with this phone I must say that I was wrong. Good job Pana !!!

  • it's so f... ugly

  • does it come with cute pink fluffy press-on covers?

  • Where does the maskara or the nose powder fits?

  • i like the shape , round one very cute n special but too bad that it don have polyphonic ringtone ......i think it should have this kind of ringtone because it already don have the camera...too bad..

  • It's greate, nice design. I very like it :)

  • I have seen this phone. Had negative impression before seeing it. However, not too bad after I have played with it for a while. One unique feature is that when the screen goes blank into power saving mode when not in use after 10 secs, the screen actually transforms into a mirror, very handy for women.

  • vvvvvery outlandsh-very nice

  • When can I buy a G70 in the market? What is the exact time for that? Thanks

  • Maybe a belt buckle is the next form factor..

  • crap phone looks like big ben

  • is it a lemon juicer

  • What's this ? Should we hang this in the X-mas tree ? Panasonic has gone bazurk !

  • Parfume? Dagger? Broch? Joke? Copying Siemens's Xelibri fashion details? Hmmmm...

  • it's too thick!! 3cm!! for less you can buy the very actractive xelibri 6 (or 7, I'm not sure)... (but I like it)

  • oh my god!!! u can poke someone's eye out with this and then sue panasonic for millions!!

  • i'm very interested with g70, where and when i can buy it? please contact me for the informations. (note: i'm in Indonesia)

  • It looks like a supposipary! and it doesnt go in?

  • Looks like everyone's gone insane, it must be the polution.. (are we sure this a phone..? )

  • Excuse me.. your brooch is vibrating...

  • Dear Andy, Will you be interested in G70 distribution? Have you got sample ? Rgds, Irene

  • What is with all the weird phone shapes and designs with all the major brands at the moment. Please!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Does this look like a phone at all? It looks more like a watch or something. I would certainly not like somebody asking me ," Why do you carry an alarm watch with you?".Heck!

  • What the ****?!

  • i wont to bay'were i cent?

  • what the fuck is this supposed to be?

  • looks nice but lacks many features. nice gift for a 10yr old girl
