History: Panasonic GD55

September 29th, 2008        

Back in 2003, we were crazy of the smallest phone. One of my friends getting one. I’m still in high school that time and mobile phones were banned in school but there’s still people bringing it to school. When we heard spot-check, we’ll find places to hide our phones, I’m using Nokia 8210 that time, I hide it behind my belt buckle, the others wrap their phone with papers and dumb into the dustbin in our classroom, while one of this Panasonic GD55 user in my class, just hide the phone in his underwear. I remember I make a call to him right after the spot check before he took it out. bZZzzz…. It’s vibrating, and we start laughing.

Alright, Panasonic GD55 was announced in the end of 2002. It measures only 77 x 43 x 17 mm and weighs in mere 65 grams. You don’t expect much from this small phone at that time. It has a monochrome 112 x 64 pixels LCD display with Blue backlight. Best of it is small and it vibrates. It comes with 4 channel polyphonic ringing tones with composer, 20 wallpapers and other features include T9, Calendar, Calculator, Currency converter and callerID graphics. The product has been discontinued, but the refurbished version is now available. You can’t afford it last time but I’m sure you can afford it now.
