Home > Consumer Reviews > Panasonic GD67 - O2 - Pay And Go

After years loyally holding onto my phillips savvy i decided it was time for a change. Set myself a price limit, and bought as much as i could for the price.. The choices... Bog Standard Nokia with a couple of games, a few ringtones, and free gym membership so you could carry it around... the rather ugly new sony errickson, or the panasonic, which to be honest id never seen. quiete simply it won on features by a mile... Colour screen, decent ringtones, good message storage, calander and organiser, and most of all it was easy to navigate (ok.. so took a while to work it out like anything), in fact each day i discover more, voice recording (so you can record a phone call), user alerts so you can have different tones (and screen displays) for each caller (great having work phoning, my phone wails like a police siren and a huge warning sign comes up...) - Ok a few phones do this, but having a different screen picture for each caller is cool...

in the end, it does the job.. for those who just want a phone that will make calls, text, and a bit of wap, it is superb with the added bonus of colour screen, and the added bits like organiser etc...

for those that want the extras, polyphonic ringtones, voice recording and all that jazz, it makes it an even better buy...

I bought this phone second hand after I tragically lost my beloved Nokia 8310. Does it fill the hole in my heart? Not even close!

The colour screen is cool along with the ringtones and stuff but not of a great quality and the joystick is very hard to control. It's impossible to make the text message alert loud enough as well. Actually creating a text is very difficult for a predictive texter like me because you have to keep switching between modes to stick in numbers or adding a word that isn't already in the dictionary (which I had to figure out how to do myself because the booklet doesn't explain). Battery life is really poor too, I find I have to charge my phone nearly every other day.

Overall, it's an okay looking phone but the the better features on the phone are difficult to use and I'll carry on mournfully calling out for my 8310....

I have only had this phone about 3 months, the first few weeks of having the phone I was relatively impressed by it, the colour screen and polyphonic ringtones were good and just the general look and feel of the phone were good then I started noticing the faults in it, I am charging the phone at least everyday sometimes even twice a day, the phone has literally just fallen apart the back and the blue charger guard have been lost not due to me not looking after the phone just that it was not well designed, then the phone stopped me from getting messages cos my storage space was full even thou I had no messages in my inbox or outbox. The phone is hard to control, writing a text message has never been so difficult having to keep changing between numbers, symbols and letters and if u accidently push cancel when writing a message that message will be lost forever, the phone is so annoying. This phone in my opinion is a waste of time and money and wont reccomend it to anyone

I bought this phone about a month ago when my trusty nokia bust, and apart from one or two things im really pleased with it. i love the colour screen and the polyphonic ring tones. i dont get the games but thats life and its packed full of little fetures that make it a great phone.
my only problems are with the silly joystick thingy. sometimes i think it has a mind of its own and it can get annoyin when it keeps selecting the wrong things. also i like to know how many messages my texts run over before i go to send it.
Apart from that i think its great, really cute and dinky, but not to small that i loose it in my bag. i love the fact that its shiney and silver and being able to put any picture in the back is pretty cool too. i think the battery life is great, the sound is fine and the vibrating feature is great for when im out.
All in all a great phone for what i need.

I was given this phone as a gift,and it replaced a Nokia 3330. Although the screen was coloured, the quality of it is poor and the colours are definately *not* true to life. It is quite easy to use and has predictive text. The battery life seems to be poor, and mine needs to be charged every 36 hours and I don't get many calls a day. Ok as a first level entry phone but I would go back to my Nokia any day.
