| ozzmannt's Full Review: Panasonic Allure EB-TX310 (Silver) |
The Panasonic Allure is my second cellular phone. My first cellular phone was the Nokia 5165 which was horrible. This is a definate upgrade, if you are on Suncom.
The looks of the allure is just great, the display is easy to read no matter how bright it is around you. The weight of the phone itself is just insane. It weighs close to nothing and fits in your pocket great.
This phone does not feature some of the more fancy features like some phones do. It does not include a web-browser, games or anything that is really not needed. It is a phone, that's it. Also another thing I like is that it acutally rings unlike a lot of cellular phones that just sound plain stupid when they ring. For you people that like to play around with ringtones that is on the Panasonic Allure also, and it is even better. This phone plays something simular to a midi file, but I wouldn't recommend using that as a ring because it is a really low volume.
A couple more good features of this phone. It has a nice phonebook that allows you to store up to 4 phone numbers for a single person and has an icon for each type of location, along with email address. Also included in the phonebook is the option to change the ring, backlight color, and picture for that particular person.
Voice commands is another great feature of this phone. I have tried using the voice commands and they work at least 90% of the time. It is very convient but people will look at you strange when you using them.
Speaker phone is another feature that is a good idea, but it will not really work if you are in a somewhat noisey area.
Other great things about this phone are:
- 2-way text messaging
- Ability to choose a background picture
- Multipule alarms
- Great voice quality both ways
- Keeps up with date
- Will remind you of special occasions for people on your phone book
- Will not annoy you with beeps and other sounds (like when locking the phone)
After spending $150.00 on this phone I am satisfied with it, and it will probally be with me for a few years.
