i just hate this fone.The main reson is that it is one of the slowest fone i've ever seen,and it takes about an hour to switch it on. It keeps getting stuck and even gets switched of automatically. The battery life is really bad,I have to charge the fone every 12 hrs!!and they say that the fone has a 250 hr back up?? In the end I would like to say that even if I donate it to the shopkeeper,he would not take it.

My wife used this phone for a couple of years. One problem: the keypad lock wasn't very good, & in her bag the # key would get pressed by mistake & dial the last number again. So she always used to key in a free number before putting the phone away. Now I'm trying to prise all the numbers out of it onto the sim card to put into a new phone, & despite what o2 say in their page, there is no option to copy ALL numbers to sim, unless you do them one at a time. Unless the option is somewhere else (I tried address book, click on an entry, options...) And battery life was poor. But it's been reasonably ok. I've get her a new sonyericcson as I'm pleased with my k300i, hers is a Z320i

This phone has a stylish unique look, but is now quite dated. I have had it for nearly 3 years now lol, but thats just coz i dnt use it that mch. the camera isnt that good really and it's almost garunteed to switch off everyday when your doing anything on it really. It also can take a while to load. The features are nothing special like the games are krap and I always end up pressing the internet button while using it as the buttons are quite close together. I would't recommend it especially for this day and age. xx

Im from the Philippines. I bought mine at August of 2005. It was a good-looking phone with lots of nice features. But the bad experiences I had with his phone will definitely change the way I treat Siemens Mobile. After just a day of using it, the phone turned Off all by itself (I drained it's factory charged battery and later recgharged the phone for 4 hours till full). The several days of using it, I noticed that the fully-charged battery only last a day (Without calls, primarily for text messaging only which is a lot common here in my country). There were also a lot of times it would freeze. I've noticed that the battery cover was poorly designed, it was just a simple snap cover similar to remote controls of most TV sets. The snap cover will eventually wear-out due to constant battery removal because my phone frequently hangs. I cannot remember the total number of visits I had made with the Siemens retail store where I bought it, the phone frequently crashes. They replaced the motherboard, upgraded the Firmware but the bugs were still present. This would have been a great mobile phone if it wasn't for the bugs it had.

bought the phone in Jan 2005. No regres about the purchase. happ with the way it has performed. still using the original battery. Needs to be rechargedmore often than a Nokia. No damage inspite of having dropped it on innumerble occasions. Neat "Search " function in the address book lets you look for any text combination. Cons:Sometimes the notes you make just disappear. Also when looking at the calendar in the month view there is nothing to tell you which month or even year you are looking at. picture messages sent from a Nokia don't make any sense.

It's an average phone and a good compromise between proce and functionality. I think many problems come from the very buggy old versions of SW. Mine SW is new - 50 and I have only two bugs for sure, when the telephone turns off on its own. It's relatively old right now and maybe not worth buying, but I haven't more money at the time and I don't regret.

I would just like to comment on the last review, yes it may not be as good as other phones but it really doesn't matter what phones are like there just like another way of talking to your friends and careers. Also I have this phone and you can see the screen very clearly when outside and if you can't you can go onto Profiles and change it! The settings include: Normal enviroment Quiet enviroment Noisy enviroment Car Kit Headset Aircraft mode But I would recommend the Cx65 I haven't had this phone but it's much better than the C65.

I own a Siemens C65...or rather used to. It all happned on a bright sunny morning late october and this is what happened. I was stroling along the path when the pre-set ringtone blared out at me,I picked it out of my pocket and put it up to the side of my head then i dropped it. The cause of this event was the phone had been dropped in Tesco value olive spread earlier that morning. It smashed to the floor with a sickening CRASH. In the afternoon my mother tried to ring me to to tell me that my wife had just had a baby,thanks to this phone the speaker had broken thus failing to connect me with my mother to bear the great news. In conclusion I would rate this phone as off the scale (not in a good way). I have just purchased a brand new Samsung D900 which i am very chuffed with. Thank you for sparing your time to read this and good day.

This phone is not good at all. I HATE it. I had it for 2 months on a contract, I am going to take it back. They promised me good quality and good phone, yeh write.... it freezes, I cannot even download ringtones, in spite of more than 20 phone calls, e-mails it still not working. The WAP settings has been sent millions of times, still not working. It keeps on going off by itself, the batery up to no good, you charge it now, send one sms, almos a quarter of battery flat already. So please do yourself a favour DO NOT BY THE PHONE. It does not even deserve 1 star.

When i brought this phone home i was excited by the thought of having a camera phone but my optimism was soon over. the first photo i took was of poor quality, the second photo i took made the phone freeze. if you use it too quickly it simply turns itself off, the joystick is of poor quality and to be able to say i bought this rubbish for #90 keeps me awake at night. the internet is poor and when you try to find out the credit left it sometimes tells you... but mostly doesn't bother. so to sum this up NEVER EVER BUY THIS PHONE OR EVEN ANY SORT OF SIEMENS!!!

Brilliant mobile phone to start with. I have had it for about 6 months and am still happy with it. But a problem about it is the Camera on it is not even worth taking pictures for. ITS ABSOULUTE JUNK! The sound recording is not top notch but alot of my friends could only record for about 30 seconds a song! This one will carry on till you have no memory left. And the memory holds about 210 minutes of recording!!! The games are okay, well 2 of them are, and the screen size is not bad either. The phone overall is a moderate one and i personally think it is a affordable one at a reasonable price!

Had this phone as a bargain from Orange Shop on PAYG....I was not unhappy at first since this was the first mobile of the modern sophistocated type I had had..it replaced a old Motorola M3788! Quite liked all the features, didn't even mind the poor CIF camera - never had one before. Definitely didn't like like the NON - TNT screen..unreadable in daylight - you have to key-press to light up the screen even to see the time.. But 3 days out and the keyboard started to play up ...the 9 key would only insert 9 if pressed at the edge - press the 9 key anywhere else and the phone went back to the screen and so you couldn't properly dial out ...also problems with SIM card pin..nearly blocked the phone...subsequently other keys also ceased to function.. Rang Orange who offered to replace the phone with one of same model but preferred my money back.... Don't buy this phone...unreliable - for me the faults occurred within the two-week cash-back time but otherwise you would be stuck with a lemon you'd possibly have to pay to repair. No wonder Siemens have packed up in the mobile phone business and sold out to Taiwanese BenQ and I don't fancy the chances of their German factory surviving if this phone was an example of their quality control.

I will have to admit that this phone is excellent when it comes to the functions. All the necessary is available. And although the ringtone and the vibration could be better, there is one thing that would suggest to buy another phone: battery-life: This is very poor. Four days maximum if you leave it alone, 3 days if you call for 30-40 minutes. Anything more will require recharging more times you would like.

the phone itself is perfectly good and has all the functions a standard phone needs. The menu is easy to activate and texting is easy. But I found with my C65 is the back cover alwats comes off, that could just be my phone though. I also found the ringtones limited and not very loud, I can never hear a text messare or phonecall in my bag- annoying! The games are very boring too. i wouldn't reaaly but this phone, instead I'd buy a nokia or a camera phone, as this one feels very aged even though it has a colour screen. Its the twenty first century so buy a phone that fits that tilte. I'm getting a new mobile, samsung E600. hopefully that will live up to expectations!
