...from getting my Siemens S55, I still speak very highly of it and would recommend it to anyone,
I recieved it as a contract phone from O2 online which is different for me because My last 2 phones were pay+go, I picked it out of a selected bunch because of 2 reasons, The First being its good looks, and Second, the reliability of my previous siemens phones (C35 A55)
Design - compaired to previous siemens phones, it now has solid buttons rather than rubber ones which make it far easier to type text messages and play games etc... It is very light and fits nicely in your hand without being to small.
Features - It has been kept similar in design to previous siemens phones, has all their features and more. There is a new filesystem where you can plug it into a pc and send files to your phone like a mini computer, this comes in use if you like downloading latest polyphonic ringtones and games off the internet!
Battery Life - It took around 5 full charges when I first got the phone to get it to its maximum capacity, which I find is around 3 days with moderate use. One good thing to note, is that it uses a lithium battery which will not build up 'life' and shorten the length of your battery.
The Screen - It is not the best screen on the market as it only displays 256 colours, this is good enough for fun pictures, games etc, but dont expect photos to be very detailed
Camera - The clip on camera which plugs into the battery port on the bottom usually comes free with the phone now, The picture quality is ok on the phone on low quality, set it to high quality, take your pic and plug it into your computer, you can take the picture off your phone and onto the computer looking far better in 640x480 format. It also features a flash which is sometimes handy!
Speakers - the quality of the polyphonic is very good, it is a real treat downloading your fav .midi files then having them as your ring tone. The talking speaker is very clear aswell.
*One good thing to note is that Siemens bring out updates for this phone, which allow you to plug it into your computer while on the internet, and they update the software on the phone, ironing out bugs, increasing batterylife and adding new features.
