HU - Panasonic cm1 for 379

[GaryLH]

So b&h photo for Black Friday decided to do their version of lightning deals. So when the cm1 first came out, it was over 900 bucks. The cheapest I have ever seen it was just under 500 bucks from a couple of places before thanksgiving. The b&h deal at 379 must be close to their cost. Anyway since it is a lightning deal only valid for another 1 hour and 20 some odd minutes.

The new model doesn't support voice only upgraded in terms of better data support. The screen size is still the same, so if it's for surfing the web, I would think it should be at least a 5 inch plus size range.

I just don't get it

Strange, I don't get it either, if it's no longer a phone what's the point. I remember being excited when the Samsung camera/phone came out, I've had horrible luck with cameras on phones.

Wel..looks like my cm1 is a one act show.. I doubt after the cm10..there is going to be a follow on..probably never c marshmallow on my cm1 as well. 🙁

The only way for this to make any sense is that most people in Japan use the data connection to make calls -- like Skype.

The phones performance is at best average when it comes to surfing the web. I was hoping to c a faster CPU/GPU and support for Marshmellow in the cm10 announcement.
