Release date for Panasonic X700
james payne
31-12-2004
As the title suggests, does anyone have any idea when the release date for this phone will be for the UK on o2.

My contract is up at the start of March 2005, and I'm desperate to change from my Samsung D410......(disliked it the moment I got it)

My friend has the Motorola V3 which I'm tempted with, however having read reviews and seen pictures of the Panasonic X700, this may be worth holding out for.

Anyone any ideas with this date ?

Many thanks

Regards James

Seems abit sad replying to your own thread, however before this gets chucked off the page, never to be seen again, does anyone have any idea as to a rough estimated release date.

It was due in Autumn 2004 - but due to 3g commitments it looks as if Panasonic have delayed it (yet again - originally due mid 2004)

Information here, hope this helps

“2004 was a bit grim for Panasonic. It's offerings outside of Japan have not met with approval, and handsets are coming to market incredibly late (e.g. the X700). Panasonic's announcement of the 3G Z800 phone being "in development" seems like a desperate move to bolster their product range.”

Phones 4U are the only retailer currently selling the X700. Cheapest option online is £50.00 with a contract with either Vodafone or O2. I went into their store and they were willing to let me take the phone for free with either a new contract or if I ported my number from Orange.

Orange tell me they will have the phone within next 3 to 4 weeks so I am hanging on for them.

Nice phone - I hope you get one soon!
