Does Panasonic X700 come with Chinese input?

Hi,

I just bought the X700 yesterday and was disappointed that my phone does not have Chinese support at all. I am unable to read and write Chinese characters. I was browsing through the net and saw that in fact some X700 phones allow Chinese input so I would like to ask whether the Singapore version of the X700 comes with Chinese support. I bought my phone through Starhub and their price is about $200 cheaper than that of most other dealers. I can't help wondering if the $200 discount came about because Starhub had a batch of phones that do not have Chinese support and they wanted to get rid of the stock. I would appreciate if Singaporean users of this phone can tell me whether their phone comes with Chinese support.

Is there anything I can do to enable Chinese support on the phone? And where can I do the necessary modification and how much does it cost?

Thanks!

Reply from Panasonic Singapore

Here is an email I received from Panasonic:

Thank you for supporting Panasonic Mobile.

You are right that X700 doesn't support Chinese Language.
However, our Engineers are currently working on the Chinese Language specially for X700. It may take about a month. Thereafter, you will be able to load the Chinese language pack to the phone.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

One month? If it's true, it'll be great. I'm in Australia, when I send the mail to panasonic australia, they just said no chinese format/language pack for x700.

Chinese support should be available now

I was in Beijing last week and saw the Panasonic X800 on sale in some China Mobile shops. The X800 is pretty similar to the X700; I imagine Panasonic would run the same Chinese support software on both.

Other Symbian phones I saw in the Beijing shops were the SE P910 and many Nokia models, including 6681, 7700 and 3230. The 3230 was being heavily promoted with posters all around the subway/metro with a local pop star using the phone.
