Siemens A60

...and video features, then the Siemens A60 is not for you. However, if you want a cheap phone that does the job, i.e. you can make phone calls and send texts, then this phone could be a good choice for those on a limited budget. Polyphonic ring tones and vibration alert are impressive features; however, it does not possess a ring tone composer like some mobile phones. It features a clock, an alarm clock, and a calculator, and its large capacity is ...
...a problem. Although the Siemens A60 lacks the newer features possessed by the most up to date phones on the market, it does boast some impressive features such as games and the internet. It features 2 games, stack attack and magic picture. Stack attack is a game loosely based around the idea of the game Tetris, whilst magic picture is a picture puzzle game in which you have to arrange the pieces in the right order to form a picture. The internet ...

Review of Siemens A60

I recently purchased my siemens A60 at the link. It was £60 on the orange network and included 5 texts free per day for a year. If you buy the text saver deal on other phones it costs £20 a year, so to get it free made the phone even more value for money. 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 ...
...money considering the text saver was included. I like the colour screen and find the phone easy to navigate. I had never had a siemens phone before (only nokias and a motorola) so I had to adjust to some of the key changes, but this was very worthwhile and easy. ...

Review of Siemens A60

I've had this phone for two years. It was my first phone, and apart from an old Nokia I use sometimes, it's my only phone. I'm obviously very happy with it. My parents bought me it as an entry level phone for about £50-£60.00 with Orange Pay as you go. Good points Sturdy phone. I've had it for two years and dropped it so many times. It's survived everything. It even survived a swim in the bath - it kept worryingly overheating for over a week afterwards, ...
...Battery life remains excellent. Over 2 years since I got it, it's still on its original battery, and still holds a charge for about 3-4 days (with little use) or about 2 days of heavy use (I'm approximating!). Reception is great, the phone usually has full signal strength. On a trip to Wales where most other phones couldn't get reception mine could. This is probably due to the Network I was on rather than the phone, but still, it never lets me down ...

Review of Siemens A60

...have one lol. Tis the Siemens A60 which I am going to tell you about now. I only just came into mobile technology a couple of months ago and didn't want a complicated phone as I was just wanting it for emergency purposes. So I went onto Ebay with and a friend advised me on this one so I put a bid in and got it for £15. When it arrived it was practically brand new and still had box and instruction manual etc. and was linked up to Virgin Mobile. Which ...
...There was £5 credit with the phone which was enough to get me started I guess. The phone is black in colour, the phone has around 6 hours talktime and around 250 hours of standby which means you don't have to charge up very often depending on how often you use it. Well what can I say about this phone well it is a phone and nothing else, allowing you to make and receive calls and send text messages. It does tend to come into the brick category compared ...

Review of Siemens A60

I got this phone as a present to replace my old phone. It's a plain model with no fancy features but I wouldn't use a camera anyway so that's no loss. The phone is larger than many on the market now but is still pretty small. It has a small battery so feels very light. It has quite a large colour display screen which is easy to ready text messages on and shows about 6 lines of text at a time. The buttons are a good size and spaced out so they're ...
...I did sometimes with my old phone. The navigation button for paging up and down texts and settings I find a bit fiddly though. Slightly annoying to start with is an aircraft check screen which displays when you switch the phone on and forces you to click OK or it shuts itself off. There doesn't appear to be any way of switching this off so you have to live with it every time you switch on. From the main screen there's a 'menu' option which takes ...

Review of Siemens A60

...I have chatted with other Siemens owners, who, interestingly, have the same complaint, regardless of signal provider. What I need (& you can call me old fashioned here) is a cheap pay-as-you-go phone that makes phone calls & is easy + fast to use. Cheap it may be, but the A60 was no cheaper than my old Sagem & does the job a sight poorer. Oh yes - some of the buttons are not very positive either. I will return to Sagem when I next find an unguarded ...

Review of Siemens A60

I was given this phone as a work mobile and have disliked it since i received it. I am used to nokia phones and currently own a 6230 which is vastly better. This phone has has various features which bug you after a time. 1) The battery life is appauling compared to a nokia especially if you use the phone regularly though it is ok if it is on standby. 2) The phone has a nasty cheap feel to it. The casing is cheap hard plastic. 3) When texting, ...
...phone and i think a less convenitent place. 4) The screen quality is bad and isn't partuicularly bright so it is hard to see at times. Another really annoying feature is that when you switch off the phone it resets the profile option to the default which is ring. This is annoying when like me you keep your phone on silent most of time. The accessorities that come in the box feel cheap as well. You do get a handsfree kit but it is so bad that i ...

Review of Siemens A60

This phone is a bargain at £49.99 (Amazon.co.uk)* and is worth every single penny. The phone looks good, it's small and compact. However, the only downside to this phone is that the battery power is weak. I have to charge my phone up every 3 - 4 days!! (and its switched off at night). The phone has a host of features including games, EMS, wap, alarm clock, diary etc. You can buy changeable covers and keys for it too. The phone can over 150 phone ...

Review of Siemens A60

...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 ...
..., 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 available. My own experience of using the key lock was it was unreliable and did not always work if it was in your pocket the phone ...

Review of Siemens A60

My Siemens A60 cost me £80 at christmas and I have only just sold it! The A60 is a good little phone being compact and easy to use, the pictured menus are easy to navigate through with the directional pad in the centre of the phone. It has many picture messages you can send to other Siemens users but not to other phones which is a bit of a bind sometimes. Some of the pictures are very basic and to be honest not worth sending. Ringtones are plenty ...
...won't embarrass you when someone phones you in the middle of Tesco's! You can download wallpapers, ringtones and pictures to this phone but the animations ( like the roaring fire one I had) are pretty but you can't use them as wallpapers or send them to anyone so a bit pointless I feel! GPRS once up and running is okay but can be a little temperamental at times and understanding and using the bit counter was a little tricky! The battery lasted ...

Review of Siemens A60

The Siemens A60 may be described as a 'lefties' phone but this is NONSENSE. It is a perfectly functional mobile phone. You only really want a practical elegant mobile and that is exactly what you get with the Siemens. The colour screen and the long battery life are but a few of the features it has. The downside is that but there are not very good games but if you want a gameboy get a gameboy. The A60 is where it is at for mobile telephones. You have ...

...phone is ok although the Siemens menu system after using a Nokia does seem a bit round the houses. As long as your not looking for an up to date phone with all the bells and whistles then this will probably do it for you. It is however a Triband handset meaning that you can use it in a wider range of countries than most phones, which is nice! Nothing special but oh so cheap!A good phone for your children or your mum! ...

Review of Siemens A60

I bought 2 of these phones, one for myself to replace my Nokia which had a battery failure and one for my husband. I bought them PAYG direct from Orange and they cost only £19.99 each. The phones are fabulous value for money. I have had no problems at all with it. The menus are well laid out and easy to understand and use. The battery has a good standby time but quickly goes when playing games! The sound quality when calling is good and clear. ...

It also has GPRS/WAP which is quite handy for weather reports! I was expecting this phone to be poor because of the price but I am very pleased with it. It doesn't have the features that some other phones do such as camera of video capabilities but I din't want those. For people who just ...
