The Good:

  1. Weight: The Panasonic X400 has a smaller than average weight, which is usually perceived as an advantadge. (score: 12/20)
  2. Talk Time: A talk time of 270 minutes. It is excellent! (score: 20/20)
  3. Stand-by Time: 210 hours of stand-by time. It is quite good! (score: 16/20)

  1. Phone Book: 300 entries. This is sufficient for most people. (score: 12/20)
