Do You Really Want A Siemens In Your Hands?

Advantages: Small, clear display, it's a slider
Disadvantages: Bad battery life, flimsy back cover, crashes frequently.

I must admit that the EL71 looked quite attractive and I was tempted by the fact that you could upgrade the phone memory to 2Gb by the insertion of a MicroSD card so I decided to go with it.
