Siemens C35i

I love my phone. It’s a happy, foxy little thing and I have nothing really bad to say about it. But I shall try to be objective… When my old phone, one of those brick-like mobiles that has a mind of its own, decided to randomly refuse to answer calls I figured an upgrade was in order. It was a very difficult decision for me to make, and I considered my options very carefully. After a lot of thought I chose the C35i because a) it wasn’t ...
...in the face of the teenage obsession that is snap-on covers) b) it was in the Christmas sale and c) it seemed good value for money compared to the other phones on the market. Not only is the C35i very sexy to look at but *hurrah!* the antenna is moulded as part of the phone casing so it won’t annoyingly fall off like many other phones. Despite the fact the phone is small it is also reassuringly solid; it doesn’t feel tacky or as if it ...

Review of Siemens C35i

...3210, I upgraded to a Siemens C35i. The main feature that initially attracted me to the phone was, of course, WAP Internet capabilities. Several months into my ownership, I must say that I am thoroughly satisfied with the phone’s performance, and its features. The question is, of course, not so much whether or not its integral features are superior to older phones, but whether or not this superiority is deemed significant enough for potential ...
...help answer this question. The 3210 is slightly bigger and heavier than the C35i, yet is still more streamlined (with an internal antenna, unlike the C35i), and thus gives the impression of being less bulky when slipped into one’s pocket. The C35i’s external antenna can occasionally make it harder to obtain a good reception – this is clearly evident when one grasps the antenna and sees the reception drastically decrease. Despite ...

Review of Siemens C35i

I recently bought a Siemens C-35 on the Genie network,after my previous phone (a Mitsubishi Trium Geo@) ended up having a swim in the toilet at work.I thought it seemed like a damn nice phone,so I eagerly ordered it. The phone looks stunning,you can get them in a range of colours from green and blue to mine which is "Anthracite Grey".No matter where you go with it,you will get noticed.It is small,thin and prompts comments such as "it's so small" ...
...by customary eye-rolling from me.It has a stubby and quite flat aerial protruding from the top.The battery is behind a back panel and the sim-card lies behind this in its' own carrier;this can be a bit fiddly to insert. It is presented with a standard keypad,with keys that tend to require a fair bit of prod to get them to press home.It has two keys at the top of the phone (called softkeys) which vary in function according to which screen you are ...

Review of Siemens C35i

...new mobile phone. A Siemens C35i, it is very light and small compared to my old phone a Philips Diga. The C35i display has icons for Network signal, Battery Charge, date and time using the 24-hour clock, and your network provider, mine is BT Cellnet. You have two selector buttons, which correspond to options on the display. The book icon allows you to view your address book and if you double click on it the V.I.P. address book is viewed (you can ...
...which is quite annoying). The Green Phone icon allows you to pick up calls etc… and the Red phone icon allows you to reject calls and to go back while using the menu bars, a long press of the Red phone button turns the phone off. Underneath these are all the numbers. The C35i has WAP capabilities; I have not used the Internet through the phone so I cannot comment. Using the menu option you are given sub menus of My Services Cellnet Internet ...

Review of Siemens C35i

...I recently brought the Siemens C35i as I was looking for a new and better phone. I already had a Motorola M3888 on Virgin Mobile so I just brought the C35i for £79.99 and put my existing sim card in it. I was very impressed with the size and feel of the phone and got to grips with the menus from the moment I switched it on. It takes a short while to find the network but once it has it’s no problem and even with a weak signal as it is in my ...
...have used. Battery life is good but some phones are better. One feature I am impressed with is the ability to condition the battery by running it down and charging it back up again, keeping the battery at it’s best. The only thing is that this feature is a long way into the menu structure. The phone does have Wap capabilities. The Wap browser is ok but Wap in general isn’t that great so it isn’t really anything to get too excited ...

Review of Siemens C35i

...that mesmerised me was the Siemens C35i. It simply leapt from the pages of our work/club magazine. The features attracted me due to the fact that I am a sucker for gadgets. Some of my closer friends have bandied the term ‘Muppet’ as a euphemism for my gullibility; I don’t know but I am sure Anne-Marie will feel appeased. Down to the opinion. Technical stuff straight from the manual. · GSM Class 4 (2 Watts) Frequency range 880-960 MHZ · GSM Class ...
...to a search engine for Siemens ring tones. I had a great one bookmarked but lost it when resetting my computer back to factory settings. WAP- please, bought it for this feature. Anne-Marie is right I am a Muppet. Not very good. The Vizzavi service (I am on Vodaphone) is pants; they have a find and seek facility, which will locate Banks, Restaurants, and Cinemas etc., from your current location based on your postcode. It would be nice if the damned ...

Review of Siemens C35i

I have had my C35i for a few weeks now. It's my fourth mobile phone, and probably my best yet. Before this I have owned a Nortel, a Phillips, and an Ericssion T18 and none have matched this for features and style. I bought the phone on a Genie pay as you go tariff which gives me reasonably prices calls plus unlimited free text messages and unlimited free use of WAP. A great deal considering I often send over 600 text messages a month! It only cost ...
...other pre-pay mobiles this didn't come with any credit to start with!) When looking at this phone you've got to remember that it is in the budget end of the WAP handset market, but it really doesn't feel like it. The screen is a bit too small but other than that I have no major comaplints with the phone. It has a good battery life, a good reception, it's reliable, and it's a great size (not too big, but not so small that you lose it in the bottom ...

Review of Siemens C35i

...reasonable looking addition to the Siemens line up of mobile phones. It is the big brother to the successful Siemens C25 (read my opinion on this to find out if I liked it), and unfortunately this is where the similarities end, with the name. Don't get me wrong I am not saying that this phone is ugly or anything like that but it loses the slim and sleek good looks of the C25. However I think I am being a little critical here when you have to remember ...
...and WAP capabilities could never be fitted into the tiny C25. The first thing I noticed when I saw this phone was the interesting "dumpy" aerial on the C35. It is a very short aerial and very fat. However I think that the general layout of the phone would look out of place if it had a more standard thin and longer aerial. The C35 comes with a very good viewable screen for using the WAP service that is accessible through this phone. It is very well ...

Review of Siemens C35i

Siemens C35i Introduction I got this phone simply because it could do so many thins more than my last, a nokia 5110. And for £70 on BT Cellnet, in my opinion the best network at the moment, it was a real good deal, especially as it looked so smart, and was so small. (And you get £5 free calling credit) Good Points Some of the better things on the phone are the wee handy features like: *it vibrates, useful for school but can take a wee bit getting ...
...Conclusion For £70 I could not recommend a better phone, full of handy features, WAP and its looks are all really great. So over all, if you don’t have a phone, or even if you do, the Siemens C35i is well worth the money! Craig!! };o) ...

Review of Siemens C35i

...I have owned a Siemens c35 for over a year now and no it doesn't have great games or picture messaging but I've become quite attached to it, I'll explain why: Looks: Siemens have designed a great phone here, I would reccomend silver rather than black but either's good. It is fairly small, VERY comfortable to hold and looks minimalist and uncluttered. It still remains stylish even now. Price: Superb prices are now being offered on these phones, ...
...that looks good and doesn't look cheap but reallly.........well is cheap! Features: If you love your gadgets and want to have the newest flashiest toys on your phone - BUY ANOTHER PHONE. There are only 3 games and although one game involves a 3D maze, the graphics are grey and blocky. The minesweeper game is the best and most addictive. It features a few pictures which you can add to SMS messages, but send it to your friend and if he/she doesn't ...

Review of Siemens C35i

I have had my c35i for about a year. Here is my experience of it. Positives --------- It is reliable, day-to-day. The sound is clear and it is small and light. The battery recharges reasonably quickly and the battery life seems stable. There is a good range of features. It looks reasonably attractive and the ring tones can be customised, i.e. you can write your own. I assume that you can download custom tunes but I haven't tried. Reception is ...
...internet enabled and although WAP services are pretty dull so far, it works reasonably well when I have used it. Negatives --------- It keeps switching itself off with a 'card error'. This is extremely annoying and seems to happen on average every six hours or so, but there is no pattern. Before anyone asks, no the battery hasn't run out ! I tried to get it fixed but shop that I bought it from just wouldn't replace it, and I couldn't be bothered ...

Review of Siemens C35i

The phone is feature packed, and the fact that you can store 200 names, 100 on SIM , 100 on phone is great news , cause i ran out of space on my nokia phone. THe word of warning i have about the phone is that in a recent independent test,for SAR radiation tests, the phone was second worst , giving off something around 1.2 W/kg, which is a rather ...
...mobile phones, i recommend you leave this one well alone. The nokia 3310 had a much lower SAR value, so i would go for that in the future, although it has no WAP which is a pain. However this SAR value is within the international safety guidelines and therefore users should not be alarmed. All ronund a good phone, but not for the health worrier ...

Review of Siemens C35i

...a buisness meeting but the Siemens C35i mobile phone. I bought this phone as my first ever mobile phone, although I had used mobiles before. I liked its size, general apperance and the way the salesman told me how great it was. He wasn't really wrong! The phone has two rectanguler buttons which control scrolling and selecting, they can be a little bit fiddly to use if you have big fingers. There is also a phonebook button for quick access to the ...
...symbols, but only to other Siemens mobile phone users. You can't download ringtones but there is one space for you to compose your own. When someone rings, as well as the phone vibrating, ringing you can also have your phone flash up an animated symbol if the number is in the phonebook. All in all the Siemens C35i is a great all round mobile phone. ...

Review of Siemens C35i

...in the deal was the Siemens C35i. I was a little unsure about these phones as I had never used them before and after having two previous Nokia handsets I would have preferred to stay with Nokia but you can't have everything in life. It has now been just over a month now since I got the phone so I have been able to get used to it and really decide how good I think it is. Now this little phone (and little it certainly is) has a number of fantastic ...
...want WAP go for the Nokia 7110 or the new phones currently being released and if WAP is not important just stick to the simple old Nokia handsets that so many people have now. The Siemens C35i is a good phone but it just isn;t good enough. ...
