Siemens C45 would be recommended to any buyers. When you see it you automatically think professional, and the front of the phone shows off its class. Siemens is a major phone company so you know that you will get your moneys worth from any of their phones.
~Messages~
The C45 gives you the ability to send and recieve SMS text messages. But the only disadvantage is that you can only store up to 10 messages maximum between both the Inbox and Outbox
Writing a text message is easy, and with its predictive text it makes it much quicker. You will soon get used to the size of the buttons after a while, but i must admit that they do need a bit of time to get used to.
~Phone Book~
There is a button on the front of the phone with directs you straight to the phone book. It stores many entries and numbers can be stored in numerous groups provided on the phone.
~Records~
This is where it shows you your last 10 Missed calls, calls recieved, calls dialled and also your overall amount of duration of your calls and the total charges of your calls.
But if you dont want these records stored on your phone then you can easily erase them all in one go.
~Battery Standby~
Its battery standby isnt the greatest but it last a good and reasonable time. Every couple of nights it needs charging up if the phone has been on for most of them days.
~Get in touch~
Here you can set up your groups, organiser and clock.
Groups - you can locate diffrent people from your phonebook into groups if you wish. The groups they provide for you are VIP, Leisure, Office and Family. These groups can be used for SMS messages and calls (confrence calls where you can talk to more than 1 person at one in one convosation).
Organiser - in your organiser you can keep your own diary, keep birthdays where on the day an alarm sounds to reminder you, Notes to yourself and the ability to keep Alarms.
~Internet~
At 10 pence per minute, although this seems expensive, does provide you with normally all the information you need.
~Profiles~
The profiles Siemens set up for you are 'Normal, Quiet, Noisy enviroment'. Additional ones are 'Aircraft mode' and for a 'Car Kit'. Also, if you are not satisfied with the options they give you, then you can also make a few of your own.
~Audio~
There 20 ringtones provided for you, all are the basic tunes and an extra 10 avaliable for you to add from downloading ringtones.
~Extras~
Screensaver - A screensaver which is a clock is provided for you, but again, like the ringtones - you can add-on extra screensavers and logos.
Games - There are 3 games on the phone - BattleMail, Stack Attack and Balloon Shooter. All are reasonable games and very easy to control and understand.
~Overall~
The Siemens C45 is a reliable, favourable phone and can be attracted to anybody. Its size is small, and with no aerial it can easily be placed anywhere without any hassle.
There are a varity of covers which are on offer to purchase, all manily of just a diffrent colour but more and more designs are being produced.

I had a C35 and the only problem I had with it were the incredibly naff ringtones. Are these any better?
Advantages: Siemens, Small, No ariel, WAP, Battery life, Customizable, easy to use menu Disadvantages: Does not have GPRS but is not in the price range
