Panasonic G50 review

[Michael]

The Panasonic G50's forbearer, the GD55, was a phone that stood out for its size. In a time when the T68i was considered a pretty small and light phone, the GD55 took things a full step further. Sure it didn't have a color screen or polyphonic ringtones, but it sure was small and light. 65g is a weight that still is impressive today.

But in a market that was going full speed ahead towards color and polyphonics, it just couldn't compete. With that in mind the G50 was devised. It grew in size only slightly, but went up almost 14% in weight to 65g. The question is, does the G50 maintain the draw of the GD55 while keeping up with modern handsets?

The review has been posted, finally:

Michael, this is a minor point, but I thought that the G55 did have polyphonics - one of the main selling points of the phone was that such a tiny phone could have such a loud sound.

My girlfriend had that phone (gift from me) and we both really liked it...too bad that the G50 doesn't measure up.
