Mixed emotions

by lirubis Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Aug 05 '02
Pros: Ease of use, unbelievably lightweight, voice commands that work, superb reception.
Cons: Looks cheapy,difficult to hear on loud environments
"You got a...WHAT??!" This expression pretty much sums the vast majority of comments I got when people found out I traded my excellent Nokia for the new Panasonic TX310. I just took the chance to upgrade to a new phone for free, while upscaling my...

A Great Low-Cost Phone!

by pika2pika , Jan 04 '02
Pros: Small, Stylish, Cost, Large Phonebook, Feature-packed, Trusted Brand
Cons: Weak Speaker, Somewhat glitchy, Bad Voice commands, no full color? =)
Introduction

I've been a cell phone user for many years. I used to have Cingular (formerly Pacific Bell) Wireless as my service provider. I originally caught on to their service because of the GSM standard, which is by far the most...

Panasonic Allure - What A Cellular Phone Should Be!

by twnboys , Feb 12 '02
Pros: Lightweight, long battery life, excellent signal strength
Cons: Only available through one carrier, pricey, limited accessories
I waited awhile to write this review - I've had the handset since October (I purchased it the day AT&T released it to the public). Even though I was enamored with it, I wanted to see how I'd feel once the bloom was off.

Now, 4 months later, I...

Pros: Beautiful appearance,convenience of short message, light weight,desirable rings and not expensive price
Cons: short battery, press any key-press to put through
Appearance
In my impression I feel Panasonic Allure EB-TX310 is very long, but when I got it I find it is not very long,just the fuselage is very slender.Allure EB-TX310's colorful panel is very stylish and fabrication is fine,also the handle is...

by markehr , Aug 26 '02
Pros: Light weight, great signal quality, awesome ring tones, headset connector, PC connectivity, speakerphone
Cons: Below average battery life, lack of accessories, no on-board programs/utilities, speaker volume
I purchased my Panasonic Allure from AT&T Wireless nearly six months ago for $60, and I am very happy with it.

The phone is incredibly light weight -- 2.8 ounces with battery -- and it has a form-factor that makes it very easy to talk on and...

2nd Gen Panasonic is amazing

by kriebe , Nov 09 '01
Pros: Tri-mode, normal rings
Cons: may be too small or light for those who lose things easily
An exceptionally small and light phone. This phone is over half an ounce lighter than the tiny Nokia 8000 series. Even though it is 2.7 ounces, it still has a tight design that feels normal to hold to your ear and talk in and will be harder to break...

Panasonic Allure is Great

by edski , Dec 26 '01
Pros: Very lightweight, Kewl Features, Excellent Phone... All Outweigh the Cons
Cons: Speakerphone capability stinks
I've had Motorola's (star tac, i1000+), Nokia's (5190), and an Ericsson (long ago)... And none can compare to the Allure in features and capability. When I recently needed a new cell phone, I was pretty much sold on the Nokia 8260, but when I reached...

Great phone!

by gpgardner , Apr 26 '02
Pros: Lightweight, solid, large phonebook, voice activation, small size, neat features (see review)
Cons: Voice activation, small keys, poor battery life (after 24 hours, 5 calls it is dead).
I just purchased this phone about a month ago to replace a broken Nokia 8260. I thought that phone was very good, but the Allure is steps ahead.

For one, the Allure is much more solid than the Nokia was. I have dropped it once, unfortunately,...

Great Phone For the "Low-Tech"

by Greg2000 , Sep 30 '03
Pros: some nice extra features, excellent reception, phonebook organized well, voice memo
Cons: very short battery life
With color phones, camera phones, and Internet phones, the basic phone is becoming almost obsolete. For those not looking for all the amenities that new phones have to offer, the Panasonic Allure may not be such a bad option. The phone is one of the lig ...

Panasonic Allure

by ozzmannt , May 11 '02
Pros: An acutal ring sound, decent display, small/lightweight, good amount of features.
Cons: Battery life, easy to scratch/chip, small/lightweight.
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...

I picked up the Allure from attwireless.com as a hardware upgrade from my Erickson phone that broke a few days ago.

So far I'm thrilled with the phone.

A professionals take on the Sleek and Sexy Panasonic Allure

by fonman , Feb 22 '02
Pros: One of the lightest phones on the market today. Packed with features. including voice command.
Cons: Battery life. Awkward phone book.
The Panasonic Allure is probably one of the sexiest phones out today. With its extremely light weight, and small frame matched with the attractive style makes it very appealing.

Pros: nice battery life, sleek, light
Cons: low speaker volume, no web capacities!!!
Before this phone, i was pretty much confined to using the Nokias at AT&T. The latest Nokia I had, for more than year now, was the 8260. The Panasonic is all that the Nokia was not, and I had plenty of time to test it out since most of my life is spent...

Cons: tall, no wireless web choices
I purchased my Panasonic Allure sight-unseen off of the AT&T website, looking for an alternative to my broken Ericsson. I'm very happy with it, pleased with the speakerphone abilities.

Every once in a while you will find a new purchase so satisfying that you cannot resist showing it off to everybody around the block. Panasonic Allure can well be one of those great toys. I have had mine for three weeks now, and it is simply great.

Pros: Multi color display, feature packed, small, light, sleek, signal excellent
Cons: Low, Low, did I say low volume on both ring and ear speaker.
I upgraded to the Allure on the At&t network with high hopes. This phone boasted an array of awsome features. And an array of awsome features it had. The problem being is that this phone executed none of them well.

Pros: Super light-weight. Super customisable rings. Many backlight colours. Speakerphone built-in. Vibrating mode.
Cons: Shorter battery life?
I've been using cellphones for about six years now. Samsung, Motorola, Ericsson, you name it, I've used it. Ericsson is the worst and this Panasonic has been hands down the best I've ever used.

Short battery life? Who could care when this...

This phone has been virtually bulletproof for me. I prefer the candybar-style phone over the flip phones, and this is just the right size for me. It is large enough to be usable, yet light enough to make me forget I'm wearing it. I have dropped it on the...

by jdm_holz ,Feb 08 '04
Pros: HEADACHE GIVER!
Cons: GREAT PHONE LIST...
This phone has great functions and its fairly easy to use but it does have 2 distinctive cons to it. 1. It's difficult to hear the person you're speaking with in loud environments and 2. This phone will give you all the headaches you need after a couple minutes of conversation....I have asked other users and yes, it appears to be the phone that gives you this effect...After 5 years of use I'd love to see how many people complain about TUMORS this baby dug out!

by mlrschick ,Apr 21 '04
Pros: Size, weight, good choice of ring tones, durable, and memo feature is also very useful.
Cons: buttons are small, hard to find accessories except on line or from AT&T.
This is a great phone! Its tiny, weight next to nothing and works just fine! The description listed above is inaccurate, though. It DOES have multiple ring tones, DOES have vibration ring and DOES have caller ID. If you're looking for a great phone that's small and you don't need a web enabled phone, this is the one for you.

Outdated now but still in use
by kbrunow ,Feb 21 '04
Pros: Lightweight, nice phonebook, background images, speakerphone
Cons: Battery life, bad ring tones, hard to hear with background noise.
The phone is on its "last leg" and I'm on the verge of trading it in. Still I wanted to voice my opinions about this phone. Overall it has treated me well. My major complaints would be about the battery life. The phone is maybe a year and a half old and I cant keep a charge for more than a day or two on standby. It lacks some really cool ring tones, the volume of the tones is hard to control. Some tones are way too soft and some way to loud. It is very hard to hear with background noise. What I love is the slim design, light weight, amount of information you can store for a contact.
