  • I brought the Panetch G500 a year ago it was a fantasic little phone once i sorted out how to do the messeging features as my manual was in Koren. I was gutted that i couldn't put a picture on the front LCD. A year later it died, just wouldn't start again.

  • I had G500 for 1 yrs' time. I thought it looked pretty nice and slim but the functions and features are so very simple, somehow without any hesitation, I bought it at SGD $700 (without contract). And I regretted it immediately the moment I bought it on the spot, only to find out I was acting in a moment of impulse. It was a total waste of $$$ and found myself so silly to buy such a lousy phone. Now the phone is not working as the battery is dead and I can't even sell it off, it only costs less than SGD $40 now for the current trade-in value. However, I still like the phone because of its slim & sleek design, a very typical K-phone design. I just felt that SGD $700, I can easily get a good PDA like O2 or other excellent phones with great features & functions at last time and even for now.

  • Thanks TJ, That's explained everythings. Been 1 year using this phone. Quite ok. design is marvelous, compact, lite & extremely stylish. The keypad not really torned off. but the feature need to be upgraded. i dont want to trade-in coz the design is ok.luv it so much. bluetooth n infra would be delightful. I'm very simple person,just the phone cant send business card like nokia instead. The SMS cant be trace back after sent. the stop watch is kelakar... funny compare to others. til now have no time to use the composer for ringtones. just convert the midi song to mmf (ye ke..lupe la) format by saving the files in your pc. the camera okla... technology keep changing now day. nak canggih beli digital cam! what the market value now? I dont see this model anymore in market. obselete ke? happy to see many people use it all around world. Hi from Malaysia, KL. smiley :)

  • Yes chinese characters are supported if desired. No u cannot download more languages like French, the phone does not support additional languages. There is no BT or IRDA on this phone and to get files on and off your comp you have to have a link cable. Once you have a link cable plug it into the phone and the computer via a serial port then install the phones software which can be found on the pantech website then, once in the software application, click the browser icon at the top left somewhere to enter the browser which acts as means to transfering ringtones and pictures. If you upload a picture to the phone it will be stored in the downloads directory of the phone. Unfortunately, you cannot get a picture from the downloads directory as your wallpaper for the main or sub screens, only pictures captured using the camera can act as wallpapers for the screen. Hope this Helps, TJ

  • Hi G500 user, I m in China subscribe to China Mobile. I m having problems sending and receiving MMS. anyone know how to set it, please advise me. thanks... I also dunno how to upload and download picture taken cause no IR, BT,....

  • I bought one for my gf last year when it just launched. Both displays are brilliant, anyway, this is the reason I bought this phone. No problem with downloading or uploading pics and ringtones to pc. This phone support MIDI and mms ringtones (mms used in Samsung). But then the phone lack connectivity options, no IR, no Bluetooth. But then again, my girl is no techno geek so she just like it (I tried to convince her to trade-in her phone and get a more high-tech one, she refused).

  • Hi, I would like to purchase your new style pantech g500.How much including shipping, thanks victor

  • i damn like my G500 for the time i gt it. it's so nice, functioning well n the camera oso quite nice. the colous screen oso very nice. but i hd my G500 not enuff one month,i was being grab by 3 indian guys! shit... i lost my G500 about 5 months oledi...sad!

  • It is said it can download from the pc but i'm sorry to say my Pantech is not able to do so. the pc does NOT recognise that the phone is connected. i tried it on two pcs, each one saying the same thing.furthermore, the fact is that it's not famous enough to benefit from the ringtone service of the network i'm subscribed to. Besides, i have problem with the WAP and the MMS. The phone says the 'service is unavailable' while on the contrary,it IS available on the network.TOO BAD!

  • I just bough Pantech phone last monthand I would like to say..its simply the best phone that I ever had with beautiful colors, easy function and affordable price.. Congratulations Pantech

  • i bought this hp last november(2004)..yup, it's stilll a baby n i luv it sooo much.. the screen is undeniably the best of all kind 256K colour. oops, the screens-internal n external are colourfullll...battery last long. camera is kewl. +flash +zoom..+stickerphoto.kewl.alarm?can set up to 5 at a time.ok.ringtones? loud n kewl.luv it when people stare at me when my hp rings..heheh.most functions are ok. the keypad is gud too. but the sms stuff..bcos it's from korea,most of the 'typing thing' is differ.made me spent lots of time typing..at first.inbox:oh,the sender's number comes out first,b4 the name.hate that cos i dunlike remembering hp numbers.no bluetooth,no infrared but got usb cable..overall,4 stars. i'm lookin 4rwrd to G100 anyway.. huhu ^_*

  • video?

  • i bought this phone 3 month ago. so far so good.the picture taken is not really sharp but in term of feature it's quite easy to understand.1 more there is no report after send sms and i dont know iether it's delivered or not. for gprs and mms setting it's easy coz its a auto setting. it will 100% perfect if there have a bluetooth or at least infrared. i bought this phone for RM1480..less than 1 month the price drop to RM999...waaa..rugi....anyway, i enjoy to use this phone. now im looking for SE 700i and i still keep my pantech for second phone..

  • i was wondering if you know where to buy the pantech G510 that will work in canada

  • better than e700

  • Reminds me of my darlin' phone Motorola's V878

  • I just bought this phone a few days.Everbody can talk me how to download the photo and ringtones from PC?Hopefully any good news.TQ

  • just bought G500, before was using Samsung phone. As compared to the previous brand, Pantech is slow in functions i.e saving new numbers, switching menu and etc. The sms typing system does not allow to permanently set to T9 inout mode. Also found that the overall systems are not user friendly as compared to samsung or nokia phone. Good point for G500-nice colour, dual LCD screen and digital camera.

  • avaiable in TELCEL

  • I've bought Pantech G500 for almost a year now. So far it's a nice piece of hp with easy function but except that the camera is not that great if compared to Samsung. Even with the flash on, the picture is not that sharp or clear but as an overall it is consider a nice piece of hp. I like the stereo sound. It is not sharp noise like many other mobiles. So far so good !! Quite OK.

  • how is camera

  • why the downloading takes quite long of time for this g500 phone when want to download some picture or ringtones from PC.. really take a long of times... why like that a?? can anybody give some opinion.. cause i still new with this phone, i just bought it yesterday and the software also quite complicated.. any sugestion.. thanks.. en and also this phone for the ringtones is it must using midi a?? or any other type of files??

  • Nice exterior design..gud pic resolution...not very durable tho..coz mine needed technical repairz within 1year! but gotta say itz heapz betta than Nokia phonez!!

  • Hey! I'm thinking about buying this phone. But I've heard about bad battery and not friendly MMS and SMS. Could any user help me out here?

  • Nice display and colour, but it's not user friendly, especially when u want to write SMS. The phone book is also troublesome because u can't just press "v" to go to name list which starts with "V", instead you have to go to "Search by name" menu to get it done.

  • i want contect pantech company for dales inquiry for inida

  • Hmm.. There's no chinese font support eh? It's selling off around S$720 here.. Come to think of the battery life.. =/

  • Well, this phone is quite nice really. The screen is superb, the ringtones are cool and the camera is cooler and with the flash, it is MUCH cooler. The one thing i hate bout this is the Battery life. It drops down fast when taking picturea and playing with the ringtones. With 2 large screens with 256K colors in both, the batt can loose its life quickly. The flash maybe good but its not that bright. Pictures still be very dark even when flash is on. On the other hand, Its quite a nice piece of red brick. lol.

  • why no tfd?

  • anyone got this phone? mind to share ur experience? How's the battery performance?
