> Panasonic GD87.......release date?
Bookmark topic
Anyone know when the Panasonic GD87 is getting a release? Especially in the uk. This phone really does look fantastic, built in camera, nice slim clamshell design with a 65K screen and Poly tones. The websites say its the flagship model for 2002, so it can't be long before it comes out! I think this could seriously be my next phone.

Yeah I am seriously considering this one as well if the P800 gets delayed which I think will.

Yeah, looks really cool, and I feel that the phone would suit me more than The Nokia 7650 or the SE P800, its more of a "phone" than a palm cum phone. I was wondering about pricing too, Panasonic phones aren't really known as expensive so lets hope it comes in at a sub £200 price point on contract.
My feelings towards my T68 have been dropping for a while now, the screen kinda annoys me with its pale colours, and its all too quickly becoming dated. 65K screens look sooooo nice.

I think it's a great phone, but the camera resulotion is very poor...

Orange will be releasing GD87 in October at 199 pounds with a contract. (www.what-cellphone.com)
Regarding the resolution of the camera, it is 110 k pixels.
Compare this with:
Nokia 7650 - 310 k pixels
SonyEricsson Communican MCA20 - 310 k pixels
Sharp GX-1 (to be released from O2) - 110 k pixels
Now these figures look miserable compared to proper digital cameras which offer something like 3.3 M pixels resolution.
Camera phones will not replace digital cameras anyway, it is only used as an accessory for a mobile phone. i.e. just for fun. So we have to compromise on resolution.
Even camera phones in Japan have either 110 k or 310 k pixels resolution and people are satisfied with them.

E-mailed Orange UK about GD87 and in good old orange fashion they will probably say that the handset is being tested and cannot give a firm release date.
Anyway will let you all know if I get a reply
