Small Siemens Phone

Advantages: cheap, small, easy to use,
Disadvantages: not many tones

...This is not my mobile phone as I have a Nokia 3310. This is my dad's mobile, so thought I would write about it. He did not want a really expensive phone, so decided to look around and see what he could find. He saw the Siemens M35i for £69.99, so he dicided to buy that. It's a small, grey phone and not at all bulky. It has a built in arial so the signal is really good on it. You can get this phone in other colours too like yellow, but he prefered the grey one. It is waterproof and shock proof, so if you dropped it by accident, it would not break. There is an address book to store up to 100 people's name and telephone number. You can also play games too. There are 4 to choose from. These are:- Wayout Minesweeper Reversi Qyattropolli I can not see what these games are though as I said it is not my phone so not played...

Review of Siemens M35i

Siemens - Camera or phone?

Advantages: Modern look, Various camera features, 18mb internal memory
Disadvantages: Bulky, camera quality not as good as it could be

...Despite coming across many negative reviews of this phone, I decided to buy this phone for £49.99 off the Virgin website. I was a first time user of Siemens phone when I first bought this, so I was taking a risk. Siemens have made claims that the SF65 model is 100% camera, as well as 100% phone... I decided to buy this mainly because of the rather unique design - it can rotate 180 degrees to turn into a camera. The polar white finish on the cover has a modern minimalistic effect which was received by compliments from other people. Also, I think this phone will be beneficial for anyone who wants a decent camera phone at the cheap price of £49.99 with £10 airtime voucher. To start with I had trouble putting the battery in and inserting my old SIM card as it can be quite fiddly. It should also be noted that the battery is...

The best iPod / Phone!

Advantages: unbelivably sexy and beautiful, wonderful internet and video / music
Disadvantages: needs a couple of firmware updates to become the perfect phone

...Given the rather briefness of the other iPhone reviews on Ciao, and given I've actually GOT one, I thought I'd do a proper review prior to the iPhone being launched in the UK. Some history: Apple have been making computers since the 1970's and were the first people to launch what we now call a home computer with the Apple II microcomputer in 1977. Since then, they have been at the front of design and innovation, despite having a few failures along the way, such as the Apple Newton in the 1990's. Apple have recently had two turnarounds, the first being the launch of the iMac in 1998 (basically a portable TV size computer with screen, but with funky colours and all in one design) and the other in 2001 when Apple launched the iPod... The rest, as they say, is history! iPhone history: During late 2006, rumours were...

Siemens C45 - A good phone

Advantages: Loads - see op.
Disadvantages: None.

...“Be inspired” – Quite a clever little slogan Siemens use for their phones, but I think it is very well put. They have chosen a great snappy little title and it suits their phones very well. After my unfortunate encounter with the Trium Mars (read my op) I decided after one and half years to get a new phone! The Trium was great but it was very boring and it was just basically crap. So there I was in The Link browsing around – I kind of had the idea of what I wanted, the Siemens C45 but I wasn’t to sure. In the window there was this big offer - The Nokia 3310 with £50 worth of free accessories and £25 calling time – the accessories were crap and I only wanted a new phone so I could put my Sim card in it. So I went for the Siemens… This phone is great. I love it so far and the possibilities...

Review of Siemens C45

iPhone

Advantages: Great interface. Excellent Music Clarity.
Disadvantages: Limited Official Apps

...iPhone. The greatest device since GSM was first created? Yes and No. I've had the iPhone for just over 4 months and I have mixed feelings over the device. I used ZiPhone to unlock mine from AT&T in the US for use in Ireland. Out of the box the iPhone is intruative (It has to be as a Manual is not included in the box). The box included a small quick start guide, a headset and the various connectors. Set up with iTune is a breeze even for a newbie. The Home Screen on the iPhone differs from most WIndows based Smart devices as a simple press closes the running program down. I own a HTC Touch aswell and found it much easier to upgrade and customise than the iPhone. While the iPhone has a huge and diverse 3rd party App community you may have to wait a long time until an App you need comes about. However, once they are released you can...

I phone negetive features

Advantages: It is very nice and quite cool
Disadvantages: not worth for the money

...It is very nice and quite cool but it has got so many negetive features. In my opinion it is not worth spending so much of money for this product. negetive features like * Very expensive for the current market, if we compare with other phone in market with similar kind of features * we can't forward SMS's *it has got extremely weak speaker, comparatively poor signal clarity * we can't do Bluetooth file transfer *it will not store or open local HTML, XML, or script files. *IPhone lacks voice dialing, so you can't use the phone truly hands-free. I think still many will be there since i'm not having it so don't know all them. But it is very good phone to buy with out any contract, then it is worth other wise I won't spend so much on this phone....

Review of Apple iPhone

Iphone- A phone with great features

Advantages: Touchscreen, Many Features, Excellent sound quality
Disadvantages: Lack of Camera quality, Quite slow web browsing, Dirty fingers on your screen

...The iphone was introduced in December 2004 but only briefly and we were all thinking if apple was really going to make an iphone, 3 years late Iphone is out. The so called "Jesus" phone has the most innotive and sleek design we have seen, its beatifully black carved edges and its sleek menu system but "We can't judge the IPHONE from the outside only". The iPhone's curves and geometry make it incredibly comfortable to hold. It fits well in the hand horizontally and vertically. The iPhone features the most attractive display that a phone "for now" can have. To zoom in on a picture you just need to pinch it or slide your fingers both starting from the middle and each finer sliding to one side (to zoom out) is a very original and fun way of zooming in on pictures or even MAPS. To write messages a "pop-up" keyboard appears letting you...

All about the iPhone

Advantages: Applications, touch interface, storage, screen size, camera
Disadvantages: Speaker volume

...Not only is it a phone, but it is an iPod. The iPhone is a revolutionary cell phone that has many amazing features. One of the most well-known features is the touch screen. With a single tap of your finger, you can be reading the newspaper, checking your email, taking a picture and many more! I think the most useful applications are the iPod, the phone, and safari (Apple's internet browser). The iPhone's storage is 8gb. That can hold about 2000 songs! You can also watch videos, listen/watch podcasts, and use the amazing new cover-flow feature, which is used by simply rotating the iPhone! With the iPhone, you have a special feature called "Visual Voicemail". Instead of listening to every voicemail message you have, until you find the one you want, you can just tap it and you are listening to it! With visual voicemail...

Review of Apple iPhone

iPhone, a technological step backwards.

Advantages: Nice graphical user interface, easy to use.
Disadvantages: Poor camera, no MMS, difficult to replace battery, no 3G, and many more.

...I must admit to not being a fan of Apple products, however considering the hype that the iPhone generated, I wanted to give the phone and try and have a look further into it's features and usability. The first thing that you notice about the iPhone is of course it's appearance. I must admit that the look of the phone is quite appealing, however I find the lack of physical keyboard quite inconvenient, but I shall include more detail about that shortly. The layout of the menus and options is really very graphic, and very nice to look at. It's easy to navigate, and a pleasure to use. But I'm afraid thats where the compliments end. The iPhone features only a 2 megapixel camera, which really does generate very poor images in comparison to a lot of other, and cheaper, phones currently on the market. To add insult to injury, the iPhone...

Review of Apple iPhone

The phone that changed all phones - iPhone

Advantages: Incredibly accurate touchscreen, simply design, VERY cheap now, good battery life.
Disadvantages: Lacks some common-day phone features.

...The first iPhone achieved a humongous reception by mobile phone users. It is the phone that has revolutionised the features of a standard mobile phone forever. The intuitive touch-screen was the only feature that seemed to stand out upon it's release. But July 2008 arrived, and the App Store was unleashed, leading with it an army of developers anxious to get their applications published for money or free. This continues to be the iPhone's biggest success, with over 65,000 apps at your finger tips (as of July 2009) amongst every category you could possibly want. iPhone is a beautiful product. It's larger than your standard phone, yes - but for a reason. The buttons you normally rely on for daily functions (texting, calling, surfing the net) are all integrated into the touch-screen keyboard. The gorgeous 480x320 pixel display gives you...
