Panasonic Z800 phones are equipped with a miniSD Card slot, enabling the Z800 to offer a large and expandable storage capacity. This allows users to uploaded photos, images, animations, ring tones and even games and not have to worry about space while doing so. All they need to do is simply swap cards and more space becomes instantly available. The portability of the miniSD Card also allow users to share image files on other AV equipment.

As outlined above, the new Panasonic Z800 UMTS-based cellular phone supports Bluetooth, MMS, USB 2.0 and IrDA. This means that users are able to send photos and documents to PCs or MMS-enabled phones. Bluetooth capability also allows wireless connectivity to the Internet and Email 24 hours a day.
