I’ve had 2 other mobile phones in the past and now currently own the Siemens M35. When it was bought it came in a blue, white and red one2one box, which also included a charger, 2 booklets, a registration form and the SIM card. After registration you also get £5 credit on your account. The 2 booklets were the phone manual which tells you how to insert the SIM, how to charge your phone, and how to use the different functions, such as putting phone numbers in the phone. The second was information about your service provider, in my case one2one. In that it tells about their charges for the variety of ways to communicate, such as phones on the same network, WAP,and text messages.

The phone itself is 130g in weight, it is a 118mm in length, 47mm in width, and 22mm in height, which is pretty small and light. It is also water, shock and dust resistant, and comes in three different colours, grey blue and yellow. I chose yellow because it was by far the nicest and also bright, so I knew it would get noticed. The battery stand by time is 50 – 180 hours, its talk time is 90 – 300 hours and when the battery finally runs out it only takes 2 hours for it to re-charge to its full potential.

The Siemens M35 is a simple phone to use and it has a large ammount of functions. The order of options in the menu are as follows:

a) Internet – here you can log on to the world wide web to receive your emails, send emails, visit sites etc.

b) Office and fun – in office and fun there is another access site to the internet, there’s a function were you can store up to 30 appointments, there’s a calculator, a currency converter, an alarm clock, a stopwatch and 4 games. Wayout, reversi, quattropoli (connect four) and minesweeper are the games and they are quite at quite a good standard especially minesweeper which is totally addictive.

c) Messages – here you can write/ send messages including picture messages. There is an intelligent typing function. You can store up to 10 messages either in the incoming box or in the outgoing. You can also access your voice messaging service from here.

d) Records – the last 10 missed calls, the last 10 received calls and the last 10 dialled calls are stored here. Also the last 10 missed alarms are found here to.

e) Profiles – here if the phone is used by more than one person you can log on to your name making sure that you have the settings you chose.

f) Audio – in audio you have a choice of ringer settings, either on, off or beep. There’s a volume setting which lets you control how loud you want your melody to go off. A melody option where you can chose out of 20 melodies which one you want for each function, for example, message alert, incoming phone call etc. There is also a setting that allows you to compose your own melody., but unfortunately you can only save one melody to the phone. Also in audio there’s a vibration option, and a call screening option.

g) Time/Charge – this option lets you know how much time has been spent on your last call, all incoming calls and all of your outgoing calls.

h) Divert – here you can decide which calls get diverted to your answering machine. There’s a choice of unanswered calls, all calls, all fax calls, all data calls and also specific divert whereyou get to chose which numbers you want sent straight to your answering machine.

i) Setup – here you can change a variety of things. You can change your menu mode either to brief or complete. You can change the phones language, the display of the phone, i.e the sixe of the font, pictures, personal greetings, and you can switch off your call identity so that when you phone out your number wont be displayed on the other persons phone.

Now I bet you're wondering where the phone book option is. Well this has its own little button. Just underneath the screen, on the right hand side there's a little button with a book on it, thats where you'll find the phonebook. In the phone itself there is room to store 100 numbers and it the SIM card you can store up to 250. In this option you can also give certain numbers calling faces or symbols, these are little animation that appear when the person is phoning you.

Hopefully I've said everything there is to say about this phone because it really is a brilliant phone and it only cost me £69.99. Apart from not being able to recieve logos or melodies, it does everything I need it to do and as I'm a bit of a Klutz I'm always dropping my phone and due to its shock resistance it hasn't broke yet.
