Just wondering is $679 for the GD88 a good price, i want to buy a mobile outright, and saw this panasonic on the net.

Anyone using this phone have any comments on it.

If your network is Telstra, steer clear of it. There are no MMS/GPRS settings available for them on the Telstra network.

nah.... u should shop around, there heaps of places got them on special prices.... i just compare other phone that list in there with my outright phone price list... not cheap at all (maybe that is included delivery)

go to your local chinatown and have a look around.

Worth a try

And as ultim8dtm5 said, there is no settings for GPRS/MMS for telstra, as it failed telstras quality assessment 3 times running lol

I would buy it at that price, it is cheap, although the phone's have been around for about one and a half years now. This is a TOP phone. Just read the reviews on the net and you will see what I mean, and yes, I have used one of these phones, quite extensively. The camera is awesome, if you have a Nokia camera phone, you will never go back to the crappy display and resolution of the Nokia's. A smidgen better than the Ericsson T610 in camera quality. The thing is built like a brick boghouse, with excellent build quality. I compared it with another mates Samsung V200, the phone with the rotating camera, and after only a month's worth of use, the front flip had become flimsy, definitely put me off buying a samsung. On the other hand the GD88 feels remarkably well constructed. Just read the reviews on the net like I said from iMobile, Mobile-Review etc. and you'll understand what I'm talking about. Only Telstra knows the real reason why they failed the QA test, I wish I did. I'd buy it, I'm going to!

Cheers...Mitch

PS: A major selling point is that it has this wicked game, where you are a dog and you have to bark sheep into a pen

umm
ill have to look into it, but i think the T610 aint much better resoloution.

Ill go check my t610 when i can be bothered

however, teh pic quality of a t610 is quite nice, altho, im sure if i resized my 7650's images they'd look good smaller as well.
