With its 80 g, Panasonic EB GD 93 is one of the lightest mobiles on the market right now. Since Panasonic EB GD 93 is flat and small, it lies very good in one's hand.
The keys of Panasonic EB GD 93 are great to handle, due to their good pressure point. The six-lined graphical display of Panasonic EB GD 93 can be read well. The contrast of it is adjustable and there are seven different options for the screen's background color.

Panasonic did some work concerning its menu. Panasonic EB GD 93's menu is a lot better arranged than the menus of earlier Panasonics. Unfortunately, the instruction manual has not been improved, although this would have been necessary! If you have a problem with Panasonic EB GD 93, the manual won't be a big help. Another deficit of Panasonic EB GD 93 is that its T) software isn't able to learn new words and is thus more annoying than helpful.
