Panasonic X800 Camera Phone
Information today was posted by the FCC of a new Panasonic Camera Phone - the X800.
The Panasonic X800 has a clamshell design and will feature bluetooth and VGA camera with flash, video recording and miniSD Card memory expansion.
It has a main TFT LCD display of 176 x 208 pixels with 65k colors. It also has an external display of 64 x 96 pixels (CSTN/56k colors).
The X800 also will come with Quickoffice (enabling reading and editing of Powerpoint, Word and Excel documents).
There is no expected retail price or ETA on when the Panasonic X800 will be released yet.
MobileBurn reviews the Panasonic X800 and writes - 'The X800 is a good looking effort by Panasonic, but its UI leaves a lot to be desired. The absence of shortcut allocation to the D-Pad and side button, and poor keypad backlighting was very disappointing. I don't believe that the X800 is good enough to compete with other Symbian OS smartphones out there in terms of functionality. However, it will appeal to clamshell zealots and the fashion-conscious. If you are looking for a smartphone, but do not wish to weigh your pants down, the Panasonic X800 might be the phone for you, but only if you can overlook its flaws.'
