Anybody use the Panasonic x70 mobile? Thinking of getting one and would like your views on WAP ability, Camera and all round ease of use. I've only ever used Nokias.
Any idea of good web deals at the moment on O2 or Orange?
Thanks.

Orange is free on contract
Just got one myself a mnth or two back, used it in America & France (and I had a signal all the way over on the ferry from Dover to Calais, with the only drop while it changed Providers), and for all the texting I did over, got my bill, and it was all free too, despite Orange telling me it wasnt part of my free texts
Phone is pretty good, camera is a little dissapointing, but then they havent changed it since the previous model, little bit different to nokias, but all round very good, Bluetooth, Infrared, MMS, Poly RingTones, Camera, 4Mb memory (ie LOADS) and its dynamic too, Tri Band too
When I was looking the only other phones (on Orange) that offered the above was the P800 & V600 (which I believe still isnt out)

The battery is absolutely sh!te though! I upgraded from a 6310 which needed a charge once every two weeks, the X70 needs charging every two days the battery is that useless.
Also another very annoying feature is that if you write out a txt message and then it doesn't send due to lack of signal it clears what you have written and you have to do it all over again [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
Wish I had upgraded to 6310i now.

Sonic I haven't been using the camera. And the txt messages only get saved in outbox once they are sent. If the signal suddenly drops and the message doesn't send its not stored anywhere. Nokia phones keep it in memory, the X70 doesn't which is very annoying if you have spent a long time typing a message out.
2 days is all I get out the battery and the same goes for my girl friends X70 as well. If I carry on getting frustrated by its down points its going to end up in the draw and I will go back to my old 6310

Excellent phone apart from the camera as a few people have noted.
You tend to get a lot of blue patches when taking shots. I thought it was a problem with the handset, but after getting it replaced it was still the same.
