Panasonic VS6 Review
Phone rating: 
Review: December 2005. Updated May 2006.
At first glance the Panasonic VS6 seems to be nothing special. It's a rather
square and unstylish clamshell phone of average size, average weight and average
price. There isn't even an external display. So you open it up expecting to
be disappointed and WOW! look at the quality of that screen! It's got a big
(2.2 inch), bright, high resolution (320 x 240 pixel) display with, get this,
16 million colours. 16 million! Consider that the best high-spec phones
from other manufacturers currently have at most 262 thousand colours,
and you can appreciate the difference.
Wait there's more. The camera is 2 megapixels! That can't be right, for this
price you'd find very few phones offering 1 megapixel - how can the VS6 have
2 megapixels? And a very high quality video camera! And there's Bluetooth, MP3
audio, great 3D games like Sonic the Hedgehog™ too! How on earth have Panasonic
managed all this for the price of an average mid-range camera phone? We don't
know, so you might want to get yours before they realise they've made a big
mistake and put the price up!
The memory of the VS6 is limited at 32 Mbytes, but remember that you shouldn't
compare this phone with high-end smartphones and the like costing 2 - 3 times
as much. For the price, 32 Mbytes is as good as you're going to get.
The VS6 is a strange beast. It has the best display on any mobile phone period.
It's got some other fantastic features too, like the 2 megapixel camera and
video recorder. Yet it's limited by the 32 Mbyte memory capacity and it's pretty
ugly too, although this is subjective of course. So it's not the best phone
ever, but for the price it's unbeatable!!
Features of the Panasonic VS6 include:
- 2 megapixel camera with 5x digital zoom and photo editor
- Video camera
- Display: TFT, 16 million colours, 320 x 240 pixels
- 40-voice polyphonic MP3 ringtones
- Messaging: SMS, MMS
- Games: Sonic the Hedgehog™, 3D Football, plus downloadable Java games
- Connectivity: Bluetooth, InfraRed
- WAP, GPRS class 10
- Memory: 32 Mbytes
- Vibration alert
- Size: 96 x 46 x 21 mm
- Weight: 101g
- Talk time: 2 - 8 hours
- Battery standby: 150 - 430 hours
- Triband

I just got this phone yesterday and I love it! The screen just blows
you away with its crispness and colour, and the pictures the 2mp camera
takes are amazing. The videos are good too, I recorded some and sent
them to friends via bluetooth. It's also really light, lighter than
my old Moto V220. And the design is brilliant I think, I love the styling
of it. Overall a brilliant phone, and definatly worth the ridiculously
low price of £80. I would recommend this phone to anyone.

I don't use the phone a great deal - probably an age thing! However,
the Panasonic is very easy to use thanks to its big and easy keys and
good screen. The 2meg camera was the main attraction for me, I don't
always wish to carry my Canon dslr. around. The sharpness is fine to
make 10x15 prints, what I criticise is the colour of the image. The
left side has a green cast and the right magenta. Most times it isn't
an issue, but I wonder if this is normal?

Had it 2 weeks so far & can say its a wonderful phone for the money.
I've only had to charge it once during that period so people complaining
about battery life, must have a knackered one. The issue with people
not being able to hear others is due to them not holding the phone to
their ear (lol). If you want a cheapish phone that takes decent pics
& handles the basics well, then this is certainly worth considering.

I Think this phone is awesome. I love the fact is has Sonic on it! No-one
else has that on their phone haha. I love the button that flips it open
too.. easily amused. Blah blah it's an amazing phone. I'm really writing
to respond to the review by Mark on 5th May, to get up missed calls
you press the green "pick up phone" button then it comes up with dialled
numbers, scroll left and you go to answered calls, then scroll left
again and there is missed calls. I had that problem too. Once again,
totally love this phone, I had a dream it broke.. and I woke up crying!
Ahah. Says it all.

Do not read this review thinking I have had this phone for a long period
of time, and have finally got round to sharing my experience of it.
I bought this phone today, and this review is based entirely on first
impressions. I have the black and silver version, and in my opinion
the phone looks good. It has been said it is an ugly phone, but then
beauty is in the eye of the beholder, right? I don't think any phone
is beautiful as such, but I do think that this is a very nice looking
phone. You cannot write a review of this phone without mentioning the
camera and its quality. I recently saw one of my mates owned a digitcal
camera that was also 2 mega pixels, but has less features on it than
this phone. Once selected, the camera has 6 different sizes to choose
from, including small to ultra large and a "main display" option, which
does exactly what it says on the tin. There are 3 types of image quality,
night mode, a multi shot mode (great for getting the perfect picture),
4 effects including negative, a self timer andeven 5 different sounds
when you take a picture. It should be said that this is a camera that
is also a phone. Videos are also possible, but they take up a large
percentage of the relatively small memory available (32mb) and the extended
ones last only for 45 seconds. The quality is not high, but much better
than other, more expensive phones I have seen. Don't let the 32mb memory
put you off - it is ample for a large number of stored pictures. The
menu page is clear and detailed, thanks to the 16million colour screen
(most phones come with 256k or near - the difference is THAT big!)and
the keys are seperate and simple. The screen size is huge, and is well
lit. You have options on everything, including whether you want a backlight
on the keys or not! The ringtones are adequate if not extraordinary,
the games are very high quality (if of course you like Sonic and Football)
and the phone is only availble from the carphone warehouse. It does
however come on most networks, although as varying prices (I got mine
on Orange, as it was joint cheapest with Vodafone) I highly recommend
this phone to anyone, no matter what the budget. Even the texting is
simple and clear, and you will never make a silly mistake using this
phone. I am very happy with my purchase.

I agree with all the positive things said here. I researched the market
well before looking at the VS6 and it has lived up to it's promise.
So why did I give it only 4 stars? a) Battery life is a problem, though
it improves if you reduce the brightness of the screen. b) It's JAVA
operating system can be slow in responding. There is not the instant
response I got from my Siemens. c) If anyone knows how to access the
missed calls log, at any time, let me know. It's available when the
call is missed but after that, nix. Great value and I would purchase
it again. Mark

The picture is excellent and so is the screen. Really really nice phone
apart from 2 things. When recording videos or sound bites sometimes
the sound just doesnt work ie you cant record any sound. The other is
that just above where it says 2 mega pixles it gets a bit scratched
up. This may be from where it opens or somthing in my pocket but there
are lots of small scratches the same length and width on the top bit.
Apart from that it is a great phone for a really good price so i would
certainly buy it again.

What a brilliant phone the vs6 is. WoW ive had two reasonable phones,
ive just come off the moto v620 and three years ago the samsung t100(also
that square nokia but im trying to still block that out). This panasonic
vs6 has the best features of both my previous phones and improvements.
Quick loading for viewing photos, a fancy multicoloured light, customizable
keys, Good camera, no duff software or old boring software still used
on the new motos, mp3 capable, multi alarm clocks, and numbered short
cut menus as well as a good solid build. And even infra red if you can
be bothered. What a bloody bargain. oh plus games you actually want
to play ie sonic and others u can download for free from panasonic that
are in 3d, wow! Need I say anything else. Oh yeah no front display means
you have to actually open the phone to see whose calling and if you
dont wanna talk to them its to late cause youve already put half the
effort in. But its brilliant. Design could be more "pretty". But for
the modern, modest man it does the job. PEACE. Im looking forward to
a nice next 11 months with this. Touch Wood.

For the money you pay this phone is outstanding, but after a while dirt
gets under the bracket and ruins the paint on the outside which ruins
the apperance and the video is rubbish and blocky and you have to move
really slow to get an ok video. The screen and pictures are good though.
Its worth the money you pay but no much more.

Most people when looking for a new phone always like to go for the big
brands (Nokia, Samsung, Siemens etc) but I knew I wanted a good quality
phone with camera etc and a great price. The Panasonic VS6 answered
my request with great results! Camera: The Camera on the VS6 is extremely
good compared to other phones. The colours are clear and bright and
pictures turn out really good. However the camera struggles a bit in
shadowy areas and pictures can look slightly blurred and not as clear
when they are viewed on the computer full size. The pictures only look
good on the phone because they have been compressed. The effects available
on pictures is good and the multi shot function is very handy. The Video
capture quality is ok, nothing brilliant which is a shame considering
the quality of the video while you are recording and the fact that the
camera is supposedly 2 Megapixels! It is limited to videos of 1 minute
long which is also a pity. Looks: The Phone doesn't look that bad overall.
Some people say it is ugly but isn't a phone really about functions
not looks? Screen: The screen on the VS6 is amazing. Excellent quality
and pictures appear clear and bright. Video playback of any kind on
the phone is slightly blurred but considering the fact that its a phone,
is acceptable. Connectivity: The connectivity of the phone is excellent.
Bluetooth, Infra-red and USB work well and are extremely easy to use.
I have easily uploaded and downloaded photos and videos from my phone
to the computer with ease and bluetooth and infra-red work just as they
should. OVERALL the Panasonic VS6 is an extremely good phone for the
money and is definately worth the Panasonic brand. Excellent quality
all round and a brilliant phone if you want quality cheaply. Buy the
phone NOW!

I've had the phone a few weeks now, at first i thoght exterior was not
as pleasing to the eye as most other flip-up (or "Clamshell) phones
and that the build quality was not what you'd expect from your avereage
japaneese product, but the look has grown on me. The automatic flip-up
button is not only useful, but also a very fun little feature. Even
though it lacks a screen on the cover, i'd probably coose this phone
over one that had now. The little multi-colour light on the front lets
you know things just as well as a screen would (And with style), The
only downside is you have to open it to see the clock. The 2MP camera
is very good for a phone on the UK market, the picture size and quality
options are also very useful. Although this is the first phone i've
owned with the capability to record video, i feel that the playback
quality could be better and the recording time shouldn't be limited
to 1 minute. When composing texts the T9 text input can sometimes learn
to add wrong words for no apprent reason, for example "Yot" instead
of "You", this may have been through some fault of my own however. Aslo,
once you confirm a word you have to erase it in order to chnage it,
you can't just go back and change from possible predictions. But theese
are all minor annoyances. The 16 million colour TFT display gives stunning
clarity and allows you to view full size, high quality shots taken with
the 2MP camera. It also a good size so its all the more useful. I could
go on for ages but i'll just say that in my opinion its a excellent
phone packed with great features and a bargain at that! A good buy.

Well, my TV was a Panasonic, now my phone is too. After buying this
top phone, I realised: Panasonic is just as good at 'lectricals as Sony
is. And the Koreans should really stick to exports other than cars and
electronics. The Samsung E800 I had before was pants compared to this.
A truly unique Japanese phone in an overcrowded market. It's an absolute
corker of a phone. Anyone who tells you otherwise is expecting too much

This phone is the best phone that ive seen in along time, i have friends
who have £350 phones, and they dont compare. Everything about this phone
is great. Power: i bought it yesterday and even from store, a battery
that was half full ive taken abotu 15 photos, recorded vis, make lots
of calls, txts and i even bluetoothed a few things about and the battery
is still going albiet in the red just now, but that abotu 50hours ago
from when i bought it. Camera/images: What can i say, perfect, really
is the quality is superb, better than all the SE's and samsungs that
my friends have. The screen is brilliant i love it, really do, and the
quality of colours is just mind blowing, i tested it as well i got a
photo wit alot of intricate shades, it wasa coral reef from a recent
holiday and everything was perfect..so much so i photo'd it and have
it as my wallpaper! - ncie way to get wallpapers easier btw ;) sounds/communication:
They are really good, ive seen some stuff about the speak beign on the
back, and its annoying but coupled with the vibrate by the time you
have it out the difference in volume is hardly detectable. Also, for
those who say that you cant put propper Mp3's on or stuff like that,
ive discovered a loophole, the mic on this phone is REALLY good, so
good you can microphone your stereo and have real quality tones up to
3mins for only 350kb...an amazing way to get ring tones (i have a load
of songs, its a great bit of basic kit!) Texting is great, i like the
interface, with lines and the background theme, lime green, is really
nice for this type of stuff...and the punct. stuff is simpler than most
phones 2. Games/extras: Video is great, and actually does have 25x zoom
same a camera despitewhat others say...the video camera isnt the high
point, but multi shot is a great feature, i used it loads yesterday!
SONIC! well it take you back to your youth and the sega the moment u
hear the tune...and the gameplay is great. the only retro game id prefer
is mario but alas sonic is its equal so ill be happy! bluetooth, working
fine, as is infraread. signal is fine, havent had a problem. erm anything
else...no!, oh wait the flashing light...how cool, though dont leave
it ON and ON charge! ull end up having a blue 0 flashing aty you (as
ive just discovered as i plug it in) So yes, for the price, £109 from
CPWH this phone beat any phone ive seen in it price range or above it.
IMO it one of the best undiscovered phones out there...well done panasonic
for being awesome and cheap! well thats all, BUY this phone, you dont
want to miss out.

Forget your Nokia's, Samsungs and Motorolas this phone is a breath of
fresh air in a saturated market and highly unique. Being in the older
age bracket of life I wanted a phone that had a good clear LARGE screen
my eyes are not as they were, this phone has it. The keypad is ideal
for large male fingers - many phones these days seem to cater for dwarf
like fingers, okay if you know Snow White. The menu navigation system
is clear and very logical to use. I have downloaded MP3 files from my
laptop via bluetooth to the phone and they work well. The 2 megapixel
camera is excellent for capturing family moments like the kids birthday
party. The flip mechanism is top rate too. Well done panasonic for bringing
innovation to a mobile market that needs inspiration. Buy this phone
,, you will not be disappointed. Oh yes and the cost ONLY £110 ,, how
on earth have they managed to keep thre cost so low? A cool phone that
is highly deceptive. Give it a look and be stunned by its capability

I was using my sisters D500 before I got this. I've had it for a few
days now and can honestly say the VS6 crushes it. Love the fact that
it has no external screen to scratch up. The battery life seems good,
but as is true with most of these high-tech phones, if you're going
to use all the stuff like mp3 players, games and cameras then your battery
life is bound to be crap (lol but its still better than the d500). The
opening mechanism is wierd at first, and you'll have to show it to people
wanting to look at your snazzy new phone as chances are they'll just
yank it open. It seems pretty sturdy though. Another odd feature is
to have the phones speaker on the back of the unit, which leaves it
very open to obstructions, a bit of a pain because unless you use some
of the pre-installed ringtones the sound can be quieter than most other
phones. The charger slot is nicely fitted with a snug protective cover,
stopping pocket fluff getting in there. However, its rubbery glued-to-the-
unit look seemed to me it could very easlily be ripped off. The keypad
is lush, very similar to Nokia's and easy to use. I had to ask my woman-a
photography fan-what the switch below the screen did, and apparently
it's very handy for close up photo's when flipping it somehow makes
the image detail clearer. Nice touch! The screen is absolute bliss,
very bright, clear, and HUGE! The Sonic game is cool-however no longer
exclusive to the handset as some networks are now offering it. The camera
and video quality is decent, and the pre-installed tones are as you'd
expect. The only pain with the media part of the phone is it's inability
to send or recieve objects over 1MB in size, which has been noted in
other reviews. This-to me anyway-is proof that the phone is NOT an MP3
player. The software recommended in another review is useful, but even
then the downloaded MP3's for somereason play at a lower volume, as
mentioned earlier. The SMS storage capacity at over 500 is the biggest
o f any phone I've ever used, and the clarity and size of text is great!
Menu navigation is also very easy. I got it from the Carphone Warehouse,
who give you some wallpapers with their log smeared over them (arse)
and their logo also appears when you switch the phone on and off, something
which irks me a bit. BUT (!) you get some absolutely amazing free stuff
from the Panasonic WAP site like free games and tones and wallpapers
that truly do the phone's screen justice. My sister has recently upgraded
to the D600, and wants to swap with me! For someone who-like me-doesn't
need a phone to save the world it's a damn good buy.

you have to wait a few seconds and keep the phone still while you take
it with this one it takes on second and they save very quick. Video
qauilty isnt that good but that doesnt bother me as i dont take many
anyways. Sonic game very good, and although some say its ugly i rather

(A rewiew worth reading) Well what can i say. For the price, i guarantee
that you will not be finding a better phone for quite some time. Many
people say that this phone is not an mp3 player, which in part is true.
It is not a phone with a dedicated mp3 player, but it has the ability
for you to put mp3 files into a seperate folder in your ringtones, and
then played looped or random. The one draq back for this phone is that
it cannot recieve any files above 1 megabyte, which deems many mp3 files
usless for this phone, but fear not. If you have a blutooth adaptor
for your pc (can be brought for around £10), then there is a piece of
software that will compress your mp3 files with minimal sound reduction,
to about 5 times as small, therfore you being able to put 5 megabyte
songs onto this phone. This is what i have done, and can roughly get
about 20 full songs, plus various videos and pictures and games. The
site for this software is: www.eniacjia.com/dietmp3/dietmp3-download.asp

FAB! It's the same size as the V3i though a little thicker. The screen/colours
are fantastic and the menu is a breeze to use (I didn't even look at
the manual for ANYTHING). You can download MP3s, photos etc.. using
the Handset Manager software (downloadable from the Panasonic website)
and a USB data cable (not, sadly, supplied with the phone). The ONLY
criticisms I'd have are a) only 32mb built in memory (not upgradeable)
and b) you get a Carphone Warehouse start up screen which is a tad tacky
but since the phone is a CPW branded phone, it's not surprising. Also,
the battery life isn't brill but when you consider what it does, then
it's fine! I'm sick and tired of people whinging that phones don't have
good cameras or video - if you want something to take fantastic pictures
or movies, buy a camera/camcorder! This is a PHONE and therefore specifically
designed for talking to people! If you want an all singing, all dancing
phone, then you'd have to expect to pay a lot more money for something
that's probably bulkier. I think it's better than the V3i, if only for
the phonebook - the one on the V3i and it's predecessors is pants -
why don't Motorola update their software I wonder - sorry, this is a
Panasonic review! I'd whole heartedly recommend this phone to friends,
family and colleagues alike, though phones are a very personal thing!
I like it and it's a bargain at £120 odd.

the only reason i give this phone two stars is for the camera pic quality.
iv'e owned this phone for approx two months now and can tell anyone
interested in it please don't be fooled by what seems like a bargain
too good to be true. the battery life is just average the reception
very poor wherever i am. video cam just average (go's very blocky) no
software or data cables supplied with it and the biggest annoyance-
the sound quality. even on its highest setting it is very low. forget
about hearing txts or calls coming through if your in a busy street/your
mobiles been left upstairs ect..you'll miss them. making/recieving calls
is a very big prob..i strain to hear other people (no i'm not half deaf)
and vice versa. if panasonic rectified this problem and the sting bags
had supplied it with a usb data cable i just might of been able to live
with it a bit longer. as it is i can't wait to get rid of this mobile.
motto: if something sounds too good to be true it usually is! i certainly
won't be keeping it just for its quality camera..whats the point in
that????? just to add this phone did feeze up on me the other day when
a text came through. i was unable to read it/make a text..nothing. the
prob only rectified itself by taking the battery out then putting it
back in again. like i said before - AVOID!

screen and I hate that. However couple this with great battery life,

Haven't seen many offerings from Panasonic over here recently, but then
suddenly the VS series pop up and what do you know... they're pretty
damn good. I went to the car phone werehouse and tried a demo of the
VS6- and I purchased it straight away. It is just brilliant. The screen
simply makes other phones look primitive and the camera is just amazing
(as long as you keep it still). 2 megapixels really show here, and on
the 16 million colour screen, they look even better. Bluetooth works
fine, as does infrared, and although this phone isn't meant to have
an MP3 player, guess what? Yep, it does. I Bluetoothed a tune from my
Sony Ericsson V600i to my VS6 and it works just fine, thank you very
much. The sound quality is sharp and clear, and using the whole phone
is surprisingly simple and fuss-free. Shame that it has no outer screen,
but that isn't really an issue. The only thing I'm unhappy about is
that it can't play some video formats- bluetoothing movie trailers from
my 3G v600i worked on a simple F500i but not on this advanced device,
which is an unpleasant surprise, and video recording is only average
quality. But that is just minor inconvenience compared to the rest of
the phone. It isn't as feature packed as other 2 megapixel phones, nor
does it have dynamic software or high-performance internet. But for
the money, and this baby cost me a simple £100, it is just excellent-
made my girlfriend's Pebl V6 look undercooked in comparison. The button
flip trick is great, and battery life is even respectable. Overall,
it really is a smart, individual and impressive phone, one which can
comfortably sit with D-series Samsungs and Walkman Sony's in it's own
right.

I initially bought my girlfriend a 'pay as you go' VS6 for Christmas
and was so impressed that I upgraded my contract phone to one too. Contrary
to the main write-up which describes the VS6 as ugly, I actually wanted
this phone mainly because of how it it looks. Most phones these days
are too rounded for my liking and look like they've been designed to
appeal to children and teenage girls! I'd only change two things...
1: I'd make the snooze interval on the alarm clock programable –
Every five minutes is too frequent for me, and 2: The alarm clock is
too loud even on volume 1. It doesn't just wake me up but also my girlfriend
who gets up two hours after me and doesn't want to be disturbed. An
alarm that starts very quiet and gets progressively louder would be
better – I made one on my computer and recorded it into the VS6
so problem solved! Apart from the alarm I can't think of anything else
I'd change. Brilliant!!

you have to make sure your phone is visable!! Go to bluetooth, settings,
visibility and make sure it says show phone! I love this little bit
to it as it means others can't see you have bluetooth if you dont want
them to. One bad thing is not being able to turn off the sound effect
of the camera which is a bit annoying but I'll get over it. Just like

First of all, IT DOES PLAY MP3S (OF ANY SIZE). YOU CAN HAVE ANY RINGTONE
YOU LIKE. THE BLUETOOTH IS FINE. This phone is utterly brilliant for
90 quid. I initially bought the Motorola Razr V3 (hopeless interface!)
from Carphone Warehouse, but changed it for the Panasonic VS6 after
reading the reviews on this site. Best decision I ever made! This phone
is extremely Japanese in design and functionality, where all phones
are expected to have 16 million colour screen and 2MP camera, but it
really stands out in the UK market. I personally love the minimalistic
design, and the menu navigation system is extremely easy to use. The
flip-open button is great if it rings in your pocket and you have your
hands full on the high street. Sonic the Hedgehog is exactly the same
as it was on the Megadrive and the Gamegear, and everybody loves it.
However, there are a few downsides to this phone. The lack of external
display means you have to open it up to look at the time, and of course
you can`t see who`s calling you. Mine came without a headset or USB
cable, and you'll need a USB cable to transfer any large files. And
you can`t complain for the price, but it would be good to have a memory
slot. Apart from that, domo arigato gozai mas, Matsushita Electrical

What more is there to say about this phone? I read the reviews around
on the net and here on www.mobile-phones-uk.org.uk and was off to buy
one (with Sonic the hedgehog ready to play how cool!?) and I wasn’t
disappointed! Everything about this phone is fantastic; the games are
incredible! It feels like yesterday when I paid over £150 for a Sega
Megadrive with Sonic yet now I can play it on a far superior screen!
(Nice one PANA"sonic" - 17million colour screen for £90!!) BARGAIN!
Shame no sound FX for Sonic but hey can I complain? It has the entire
game on there packing less than half a MB of memory! Also, how many
people do you see on contract with a Sony Ericsson k750i / W800i or
a Samsung D600? This phone is quite unique and no contract! I admit
its not the best looking flip phone out there but its like a pearl trapped
in its shell open it up and it is really stunning, (and so big!) without
a doubt one of the best screens on the market! All I can say is I love
my phone (for once!) but nothing in the World is perfect. Since I bought
my VS6 I have had to charge the phone everyday (takes just over 2hrs)
- but I love playing games, which comes to the conclusion it drains
the juice doing this! There is a football game that comes with the phone
but its pretty rubbish! - but you can download more games for free from
Panasonic Box and other sites where you will have to pay... The menu
system works fine like any other decent phone. A 2 million-pixel camera?
for less than £100 come on!! – Like the previous reviews you can
just transfer pics to your pc it has no expandable memory – so
no you can’t listen to music on it but I have my ipod for that!
It has a funky flip button to open it too (I could go on!) It might
not have 2 screens like many flip phones but lights a choice of colours
to indicate SMS, MMS and missed phone calls instead on the outside.
In the 3weeks so far that I have had it, the phone has never let me
down (no screen freezing up, nowt!) This is not a 3G phone but is surely
an example of things to look forward to from Panasonic - I have lived
and breathed Nokia since the start but this beats it! One of the leaders
in flat screen technology for televisions its no surprise the screen
is superb for its new phones too! I hate to be all clichéd but really
this phone is simply outstanding for the money.

This is my second phone from Panasonic and I'm pleased with what it

I had to buy a USB data cable and now everything's working in order.
My guess as to why it's so cheap is because the VS7 is pretty similar
to this model with a couple of changes - a bigger screen at 2.5", an
external screen and an mp3 player as listed. Now I'm not really fussed
on a phone with an mp3 player because if I wanted to listen to mp3's,
I'd buy an mp3 player.

When I recently decided to purchase a new mobile phone, I conducted
some research into the market place as usual. It didn’t take long
to discover the new breed of phones competing for the top spot all had
very similar features, MP3, digital camera, web browser, colour screen,
expandable memory etc. My work involves a lot of web publishing and
design, quite often I find my self in a position where a good picture
could be taken but don’t have my camera with me. So a good camera
was my number one concern. If I needed a MP3 player I would purchase
a dedicated device which in my opinion is far superior to any of the
phones I tried tested. So I decided to purchase the Panasonic VS6 because
its 2 mega pixel camera takes a good quality picture with real clarity
and has a great macro. My only concern was with it not having an expandable
memory but this is not a problem if you connect the phone to your PC
via USB. I use the camera a few times each day and then simply download
them to my PC, leaving the phone with its full memory. 32 MB of memory
is more than enough to do this. The phone looks great and also has one
of the best colour screens available on a mobile, beating phones that
cost three even four times the price. I found a great deal on the internet
and paid £79.99 for the phone but would have been willing to pay a lot
more. One of the best things about the phone and also high on my list
of priorities was the operating system which is clean, logical and very
easy to use. Unlike a lot of other phones which where completely let
down by unnecessarily over complicated operating systems. Surly it’s
not that difficult to design a user friendly phone. I also liked the
K750i but at more than twice the price, with features I wouldn’t
use very often, an inferior screen and of course that little internet
start button on its side that my brother likes to call “the spend
money button” which can be set off in your pocket, it was a very
easy decision to choose the Panasonic VS6. I’m very satisfied
and would highly recommend the phone to anyone looking for an advanced
phone that looks as good as it works. The phone is so good I even bought
another one for my Mum.

Without repeating the points mentioned earlier, I would like to state
the following. Panasonic VS6 is not capable of being used as a modem
with a laptop/computer. This is a standard feature expected of any GPRS
capable set at this price range. I also have problems with the handset
software supplied with the product on a win XP Computer. I suppose it
can be sorted out. Also in India Panasonic mobiles are not supported
by many mobile service providers and this could limit its functional
utility. I was misled by the raving comments made in this forum into
buying the set. Though I did enquire and got confirmed with the show
room representative in the brand shop that the set is capable of being
used as a mobile, I was provided a wrong information on the same. I
wish these are factored into the purchase decisions of your viewers.

Great phone, the build quality's great, and the auto-opening feature
is a clever and pretty unique addition. At first glance, yes it doesn't
look as flashy, but I'm kind of liking the simplistic design, contrary
to popular belief. It doesn't have an external display, but if it's
that big an issue, then you can always take active flip off to see who's
calling before you answer them. Also the screen's brilliant, so extra
kudos for that! Sonic the Hedgeog's a quite faithful recreation of the
original, albeit with a lack of certain sound effects, and somewhat
quicker as well, but overall a good job on the game, although I'd like
to have seen customisable controls for it, they could've been better,
but I got the phone to communicate primarily, not ust to play games!
Also, Hyphen, you totally burn the phone just because of one failed
attempt at connectivity? Perhaps you should consider other features
as well. Fair enough, it might not be just the one occasion, but at
the end of the day, it's a mobile with nice features, not a multimedia
device which happens to have the ability to let you communicate! Also
the sound quality's good for its price, it's not an MP3 player. Yesterday,
it did freeze on one occasion and it didn't let me view my SMS inbox,
but that's because on the preceding day I texted my cousin in the middle
of a blizzard... Later on I rebooted it though and everything was working
fine. The sound quality's good, and the ringtones are quite good, and
the Sonic ringtones are sure to send fanboys rabid and get the phone
instantly. I quite like the ring of light when closed as well. I got
this phone for Christmas, and it sure did make the day good, along with
other presents I got. The video, eh, well it's not got me dad's 8.1
megapixel camera built into it, has it now? The camera's nice as well,
not as many effects as competitors, but again, see above, and we are
talking about a standard priced phone for what we're getting. Overall,
a great phone with good features and for a price of around £120, you
just cannot argue with that. Outstanding effort by Panasonic.

For people who have used phones like the Sony Ericsson s700i and the
Samsung D600, you will agree that their screens are very good. But the
screen on the VS6 it just incredible, images look much sharper and a
lot more colourful it really does the 2 megapixel camera justice. However
the camera is slightly outclassed by that on the K750i, but that has
auto focus and features on a phone costing twice as much. The build
quality is excellent, it has a simple and intuitive interface and has
all types of connectivity options including bluetooth (which works fine).
One of the best features however is the inclusion of Sonic The Hedgehog
which looks great on the VS6 screen. The only thing i find strange is
why its so damm cheap...

possibly ask for. and i think the button that opens it is cool. the
only thing that is bad on it is probly how long you have to wait wen
u change somthing. but overall it is SIMPLY THE BEST. so if you want
to spend round 100 pound on a fone, buy this 1

The camera is such good quality it's amazing. I just got it today. I'm
not too keen on the ringtones. But the backgrounds etc. are okay. It's
great quality for the price. I'd recommend it. It's not that big..

In case you were worried about the hinge (see review by Gordon Snow)
DON'T be worried! I just happen to know that Panasonic are brutal during
their test program and this hinge is tested to destruction. You will
want the next model 'years' before the hinge fails believe me :)

Bought the phone for £109,99 unlocked, price includes £10 airtime, also
purchased Bluetooth headset £14.99. The phone is a brilliant buy, my
first Panasonic, and certainly wont be the last. Have tried all the
functions of the phone and all work perfectly. My only concern is the
hinge mechanism,the button on the hinge is pressed and the phone flips
open, but when showing the VS6 to friends and family their first reaction
is to open the set just by lifting the flip, not using the button. I
feel that in the long term the hinge will fail. Despite my concern with
the hinge I would highly recommend the phone to anyone thinking of buying.

I got this phone 2 weeks ago and i think it is one of the best phones
out yet. NO WONDER ITS ONLY EXCLUSIVE TO CARPHONE WAREHOUSE!!! The camera
is great, and the recording, for a phone is out of this world!!! I think
the only problem is the size!

Very cool phone with 2 megapixel phone with utterly class video, 32MB
memory storage and 16 million high resolution screen and bluetooth and
infrared port this is much better than the Nokia N70 whivh is just complete
and utter rubbish and costs 399.99 in the cheapest places.

As of around 18/11/05 this is a new handset to the uk mobile market.
Its exclusive to the carphonewarehouse. Its a prepay handset available
on 02, orange, vodaphone (maybe more im not 100% sure). At £100 its
a bargain handset and Panasonic should be commended for coming up with
something so feature packed and seemingly well built for so little outlay.
The phone features an ever so sharp 1600x1200 res 2.0 megapixel camera
(complete with close-up macro mode) which compares favourably to a mates
SonyEriccson w800i, with the latter just having the edge in my opinion.
This panasonic records video clips aswell which are handeled nicely.
Its triband, has GPRS, Bluetooth and Infrared transfer. The screen is
huge 320x240pixels- 2.2" 24bit 16million colour beauty- sharp to the
edges with excellent definiton and no colour bleeding. Its also clearly
visible in direct sunlight(despite being a tftnot OLED). Theres no straining
to see anything on this screen. It comes with a couple of games including
the wonderful sonic the hedghog (six zones with three acts in each)
just like the original classic versions, great fun. The other one is
a football game which i have yet to bother playing. The lithium ion
battery provides 370hrs standby reportedly, (this should last, realisitcally,
a good six days with reasonable use) with the claimed talktime at 6
hours continuous. It has all the usual features like polyphonic ringtones
which sound great aswell as mp3 ringtones which sound ok, not bad for
a phone speaker anyway. MMS, predicitve text and vibrate alert which
are all standard nowadays. The handset is fairly compact Dimensions
(W x D x H) 96 x 46 x 18.2 mm and doestn weigh much at all 98g w/ battery.
Its available in black and red or black and silver (i have the latter
and cant comment on the other as i havnt seen it). Theres a button on
the top at the side which if you press will open the clamshell, via
a spring mechanism presumably, either that or some sort of phone magic.
Its a nice feature and the phone can be set to answer a call you are
recieveing automatically when you open the phone using the button. It
does NOT feature an mp3 player, despite many sources who have no doubt
not actually seen let alone held one of these phones, claiming that
it does. The lack of mp3 player is a shame but at this price you cant
really moan. Theres no way of expanding the memory (no option to slot
in an SD memory card or anything which is a bit dissapointing. USB connection
is an option via an accessory... shame. Overall Panasonic seem to be
on to a winner with this handset- especially at £100. It would be an
injustice if they didnt sell a load of these. Try it out for yourself
in carphonewarehouse and see what you think. If you can live without
the few niceties that are missing then this a great phone.
