The Bottom Line:
The look and feel, as well as the cool ring tones, make this a great phone! I would have paid $100 for it.
I bought a Versio to replace my old Nokia 5160. The Panasonic is very nice. It is really light and thin. The backlight can be changed to cyan, blue, purple, green, yellow, or reddish-orange. The purple bacground looks great with the green buttons. I also like the silver and black look, but it also comes with a metallic red faceplate. You can also buy a blue flip-fone style faceplate that has a cover for the buttons.
The text entry for messages is nice. The T9 text feature works nicely. It predicts what the word is when you type using the keypad. Another cool thing is that besides the speed-dial entries, there is a super speed-dial button on the side of the phone that will call a number of your choice. Very handy!
The ring tones that come with the phone sound very nice! They are very melodic and polyphonic (plays more than one note at a time). My nokia could only my lame buzzing noises. Also, you can assign ring tones to different incoming #'s. For instance, when my friend calls (and I have his # programmed into my phonebook) a certain ring tone sounds. It's great because I know if a friend (and which friend) is calling without even having to look at the number at the screen. Also, you can set the color of the screen to have a custom color depending on who is calling.
Apart from the above, there are regular rings as well as songs. Also there is vibrate mode. And silent mode. It is all customizable too so you can mix n match tone settings.
An added bonus is that there is a hole at the bottom of the antennae for a strap. In Japan, people like to accessorize their phones with straps that have little characters on them, like hello kitty or afro-ken. (I used to live there) With my nokia, I had to thread a strap through a tiny hole (ringer?) which was a pain.
You can keylock the phone easily by holding down a certain button for a few seconds.
My only complaints are that the sound quality is not as clear as my nokia was. It is still easy to hear, so that is not really a problem. And also, I wish you could download more ringtones or create them yourself. And lastly, there are no games on this phone. I didn't really play any on my nokia, but this might be important you to all.
All in all, I am very happy with this phone. It was only $49 when I bought it (July 02) to replace my Nokia.
