The Siemens C65, as far as I know hasn't been out too long, it's shape is sleek and sounds beautiful.
This has been my new updated phone since my last Siemens, I love Siemens, they sound great, looks unique and had a combination of different utilities. Most phones have there problems but so far I haven't come across too many, occasionally it freezes, which means I have to either press the phone down button or take the battery out, and can take a little while to download and send files. My most recent problem with this phone is that when put into my pocket, it decided to switch off, which I wasn't too pleased about, especially if your expecting calls, so I had to stuff tissue in the back of the phone to put more pressure of the battery, and since I have been lucky not to have come across this problem again. It also doens't have a great reception pick up. But considering what the phone does, i don't really mind this.
The battery also doesn't stay to healthy for too long, if you decide to use your wap the battery goes very quickly, its better for phone calls but it still eats the battery away, I end up charging the phone either every night or every two days. Which is a downfall for this cute little phone.
This phone isn't your cheap phone that doesn't do much, but it's not a proffesional phone either, this is your middle class phone. It's brilliant if your on a budget and you only want a cheap phone, roughly this phone will cost around £70 pounds. It's quite a small phone about the size of a credit card in height and width. and is about 2cm depth. It's fairly rounded but no corners, and fits in your pocket beautifully.
It has a built in camera, which doesn't take too terriable pictures, at night this phone when taking photos has a red tinge to the outcome, which I am unsure why. It has mms, sms, polyphonic ringtones, GPRS, colour screen, Irda, changeable covers, loudspeaker, games and the usuallys like calender and calculator.
The phone book holds 100 phone numbers which I personally don't think there is enough and an address book included.
This phone is a stylish phone which deserves some attention for the money it costs. I can't fail this phone.
I agree with your review, in particular that 100 contacts isn't suffice. My friend has one of these and they do offer good value for money, however I'd say the screen is the limiting factor in terms of performance. Lacks clarity. Ian
This is a good review but I was tied between helpful and very helpful! Is this phone capable of being put on every network and where can it be purchased?

Thanks for the info. It certainly sounds better than my phone! (check out my review on one of Motorola's new ones). Thom
