Compact and silver, the X500 is very small. At first glance, it appears that you can access the menu, the camera and the latest calls valve closed. The keyboard of this slide is up when you drag its valve; Pity his opening mechanism is not automatic.

In contrast to most phones, no button to adjust the volume is not on their side, which will rule directly via the directional pad which is itself quite comfortable. It is surrounded by four keys. Both located on the bottom of the screen provide access to SMS and the camera; The other two are used to hang / win and also to go back.

Because of its relatively small size, the keyboard is not conducive to the numbering and writing SMS. The size of 65,556 color screen is relatively small. The home is colorful menu, the user has the choice between two formats: flat or place. Instead, we have appreciated the menu-flat nine icons that seems easier to use. Note all the same as the drop-down menu, a click to the right provides access to the main functions of each item.

Good point, Panasonic has been thinking about placing the camera on the back of the phone that also resembles mistake to a small digital camera. Note that the user does not have to slide the keyboard to take a picture or answer a call. Also, the button that serves as a shortcut located on the right side is well placed to take pictures.
