| pbwise's Full Review: Panasonic Allure EB-TX310 (Silver) |
I purchased my Panasonic a little over a month and a half ago. I have not had a single problem with it once.
When I was looking for my new phone, the salesman reccommened this one. He said it was better than the Nokias because it actually has an antenna. The new Nokia's only have internal antennas which do not pick up analog signals when you are roaming sometimes as well. He said the software was comparable and as easy to navigate.
First off, it is not as easy to navigate as the Nokia's. It has a similar setup but I just like the feel of Nokia's menus better. It has no customizable ring tones and no games. The games I can do without, all they do is suck the power out of your battery.
The cool features it does have are the ability to change the backlight to different colors and to program it to change depending on who calls. There are like 6 possible colors or so. So, if your phone is not physically on you, you can still tell who is calling by just looking at the color of the display when it rings.
The phone is very light and small. This is a plus and a minus. It fits in a pocket very easily but some have said it seems "toy-like". This is a little true, but people still seemed to be amazed by its size and weight. The phone with battery weighs as much as my old Nokias without a battery. The battery itslef is waffer thin and has a good lasting time.
So, if you want something different than a Nokia but as good if not better, try the panasonic. They have been making cordless phones for years and are now expanding their cell phone line
