Panasonic X500
Just got time to tell you about Panasonic’s latest handset. The X500 uses that tried and tested sliding design favoured by all fashion handset manufacturers (it’s the sincerest form of flattery, Siemens, honest). Panasonic does a good line in tiny handsets, and the X500 is no different, with credit card-like dimensions. Its major selling point seems to be the VGA camera and flash light for night time shooting. The handset’s been designed to be turned sideways and held like a camera when taking pics (imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Sony Ericsson, honest).
Inevitably, the red one’s not available in the UK, but you can get the silver handset for free on contract from Phones4U.
