Pop Up Screen for Panasonic Phone

Panasonic has shown off the X300 handset to the European market. Designed with a one-push pop-up screen, the X300 is the first phone of its kind. The tri-band phone also features a 65K colour screen, video record and playback capability, polyphonic ring tones, Multimedia Messaging (MMS) and built-in camera.

Mr Masatoshi Kitade, Managing Director, Panasonic Mobile Communications Europe, comments: "The X300 is an exciting addition to Panasonic's product line up. Its innovative, pop-up screen design transforms a high-quality mobile phone into a digital camera. With the capability to shoot short video clips as well as still shots, the X300 is at the cutting-edge of mobile technology. We are proud to be the first to offer a phone of this design, continuing our tradition as pioneers in the industry".

With its one-push, pop-up screen, the X300 makes taking pictures and shooting video clips simple. The built-in VGA camera has a handy self-timer function on this new device. Photos or videos can then be played back on the crystal clear, pop-up 65k colour display.

There are 20 40-polyphonic ring tones, a calendar, calculator, games and wallpaper downloads to name just a few. It is also Tri-band, which means that pictures and video images can be shared from wherever you are in the world.

The X300 will be available from Autumn 2004"
