Having previously been a Nokia advocate with all of my previous mobile phones, I was eagerly anticipating a change when I received the C55 as a company phone.
Oh dear - what a let down. I'm not quite sure where to start. The phone itself is compact and easy to carry, but then everything on it is compact as well. Unless you have needles for fingers, you find yourself hitting three buttons at a time, every time you try to dial or text.
The menu is also very difficult to navigate. Again, being used to Nokia, I thought this might just be down to being different, but 5 months in, and I still can't use the thing!!!
I have somehow managed to connect to the Web on at least three occasions without knowing how, and have still not been able to figure out how to gte a straightforward speed dial number added in (without a # after it).
And lets not even go onto the hand freecar kit. At a distance of 2-3 feet away, the phone suddenly becomes minute, and an absolute hazard to use when on the move.
Give me back my Nokia...

I went from Siemens to Nokia. The Siemens was very comfortable to hold and, to me, seems more robust than the nokia (have 6510?). The only problem I had with the Siemens was the navigational buttons which toggled both ways and never seemed to get it to go the way i needed it to. Don't think the nokia will last as long though - next time might try panasonic.

Made me laugh to realise I'm not the only one with "michelin fingers syndrome"!
