Panasonic EB GD 96: Sonic in your ear
Pro of Panasonic EB GD 96: user friendliness, GPRS
Con of Panasonic EB GD 96: no Bluetooth, no USB connection
I don't know why, but I just love Panasonic devices; especially Panasonic EB GD 96 with GPRS technology.
Panasonic EB GD 96 is a rather long mobile:
125 x 45 x 15 mm whilst weighing only 84 g. Covered in silver, round edges - that's the elegant Panasonic EB GD 96! The screen of Panasonic EB GD 96 is eye-catching; it is so huge that you can read an SMS without scrolling down. In order to emphasize the display's size, there are three different background colors to choose from: green, blue and orange.
Panasonic EB GD 96's keypad is user friendly; the keys have a good pressure point. They are silver as well and do their share of making Panasonic EB GD 96 look great! Due to Panasonic EB GD 96's joystick, it is no problem what so ever to select any menu item. Panasonic EB GD 96 - it's so easy.
Panasonic EB GD 96 works quickly when it comes to the transfer of data. Due to GPRS, Panasonic EB GD 96's speed reaches 57,600 Bps!!! Furthermore, Panasonic EB GD 96 allows you to install another GPRS/W@P configuration. The W@P browser used in Panasonic EB GD 96 runs on version 1.2.1.
Unfortunately, I have to admit that logging into the net via W@P doesn't work flawlessly with Panasonic EB GD 96. There is no USB interface featured by Panasonic EB GD 96, so it is not really supporting connectivity.
Panasonic EB GD 96 provides a well structured menu and many great features. You can find the usual alarm clock, time/date display, calendar function, organizer, currency converter and more. The phone book of Panasonic EB GD 96 has got space for up to 200 numbers. 20 different polyphonic ringing tones are saved in Panasonic EB GD 96. Additional, Panasonic EB GD 96 features voice dial and voice memo. Of course, there is also an integrated hands free talking facility.
What else could you want? Okay, Bluetooth would be nice, but other than that...
But I don't want blue teeth anyway. Do you?
