Panasonic X800 Unlocked smartphone incorporates the Symbian Series 60 PlatformTM and features QuickofficeTM – software that allows users to view, edit and save Microsoft® Excel and Word documents and view Powerpoint® documents. Open the phone and you are greeted with two pleasant surprises. The first of which is a keypad with (gasp) a normal layout and decent sized keys. The other is a top notch display. Now, I’ve asked 3 different people and checked on www.symbian.com and confirmed it just to have a 65k LCD screen but it just seems so much brighter and clearer than those found on the Sendo X, Nokia 3230 and SPV C500. It also seems to be quite tough as well – I’ve had it for a good couple of months now and I’ve yet to see a single scratch. The screen surface does smear easily – anyone that has seen a black iPod in an Apple shop or used a PSP will know exactly what I’m talking about – it’s a fingerprint magnet. on the other hand, will not. It has the bog standard Real Player installed but all the third party music players (including the big names like OggPlay and UltraMP3) all tend to crash. The last time I saw SmartMovie struggle this much was on my Sendo X and this phone has twice the on-board RAM…. The camera is nothing spectacular either, being just standard VGA. It’s good enough for adding photos to contacts but for anything else it’s sadly lacking. The camcorder function is dreadful as well.
