Advantages: Robust Disadvantages: slow to switch on-key lock is unreliable
I have used all 3 phones in the Siemens series the A65,A60 and the A31. Also the old C35.
I found the A60 the easiest to use it is slightly larger than the A65 and the A31. The charger and battery is compatable with the A65. I found the A60 to be more robust than other phones having dropped it a few times it does not seem to damage easily like other phones. It recharges in about 2 hours. The alarm clock is good and works automaticaly without haveing to leave the phone switched on. The phone book is quite handy , you can save numbers that have just called you. Also there is a messaging facility that tells you if you have missed a call.
The games are quite good Stack attack is quite addictive.
There is an internet facility but I found it quite difficult to use.
A bit slow and also a bit expensive for the amount of information ...

Setting up my phone was relatively easy, with easy to follow instructions in the booklet. I did try to set it up online on the orange site but had problems as it kept restarting. When I rang the orange company to activate it the operator asked me about 10 questions and told me what to do with my phone to activate it as well as text saver. His instructions were clear and concise and soon I had my phone in working order.
My A60 is black (covers are not yet available in the UK), with a colour display of 101 x 80 pixel, which is actually fairly big for a mobile. It can be used ...
