Siemens C45 - Ageless Mobile?

Advantages: Small comfortable to use, robust, ageless design.
Disadvantages: Nothing to warrent mentioning here

...The Siemens C45 is getting a bit long in the tooth as far as mobile phone technology is concerned, but seeing that my wife and I have had over 3 years of trouble free service out of two C45s, I thought I would do a review. In my view Siemens are to be congratulated on this phone. Before I got the C45, I had one of the early pay-as-you-go vodaphones from Tesco - remember those? Anyway, one day I was getting into the car and didn't notice that I'd dropped my phone on the road and reversed over it. It still worked OK but the slot to plug the charger in was completely smashed. So a new phone it had to be and off I went to the Vodaphone shop in Cardiff. Because I was not a heavy user, I would stay with pay-as-you-go and this little neat little C45 measuring 12 X 5cms caught my eye for £75 and with a little bit of bartering (I...

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...

Siemens C45. A little wonderland.

Advantages: Its size and layout on the screen
Disadvantages: Its not a Nokia

...Siemens C45 would be recommended to any buyers. When you see it you automatically think professional, and the front of the phone shows off its class. Siemens is a major phone company so you know that you will get your moneys worth from any of their phones. ~Messages~ The C45 gives you the ability to send and recieve SMS text messages. But the only disadvantage is that you can only store up to 10 messages maximum between both the Inbox and Outbox Writing a text message is easy, and with its predictive text it makes it much quicker. You will soon get used to the size of the buttons after a while, but i must admit that they do need a bit of time to get used to. ~Phone Book~ There is a button on the front of the phone with directs you straight to the phone book. It stores many entries and numbers can be stored in numerous...

C35i Siemens Phone

Advantages: Lightweight, ease of use
Disadvantages: doesn't like water

...For Christmas my husband bought me a new mobile phone. A Siemens C35i, it is very light and small compared to my old phone a Philips Diga. The C35i display has icons for Network signal, Battery Charge, date and time using the 24-hour clock, and your network provider, mine is BT Cellnet. You have two selector buttons, which correspond to options on the display. The book icon allows you to view your address book and if you double click on it the V.I.P. address book is viewed (you can not double into your V.I.P address book when sending messages, which is quite annoying). The Green Phone icon allows you to pick up calls etc… and the Red phone icon allows you to reject calls and to go back while using the menu bars, a long press of the Red phone button turns the phone off. Underneath these are all the numbers. The C35i has...

Review of Siemens C35i

The Siemens C60

Advantages: Good quality-price ratio
Disadvantages: Not many accessories available

...The C60 is a phone for those of you who want a decent phone, not too pricey, not too tacky. It has polyphonic ringtones, of which there 10 to start with, 2 good games, a colour screen and room for improvement with a camera expansion available for about £20, depending on where you buy it. Priced at about £60-70, it's not going to break the bank. Although the phone is good value for money, and is good enough for the casual user, it seems to have a few problems, however it is through no fault of it's own. The phones availability for downloading extra ringtones, wallpapers, etc. is very low. On most networks it seems the phone is very much a rarity, for example the ordinary O2 sim card is incompatible with the phone, and most sites selling polyphonic ringtones seem to favour other phones such as Nokia over Siemens phones (like the C60...

Siemens Stains

Advantages: Small, light
Disadvantages: plasticcy, not intuitive

...My Savvy died on me beep beep it went and waved goodbye with it’s little pixilated hand, it’s enough to bring a tear to my eye…. Actually the charger was broken and the nice lady at the mobile phone shop is fixing for me right now, woe betide them if they don’t get it right, I’ll be writing a stiff review and then they’ll be sorry, Consumer Power!!! (Actually since they took the phone and since I wrote this first paragraph I got a phone call, it seems there is a problem with the repair, I can already feel my bile rising…..) So to prove just how nice the lady was she gave me a Siemens C25 to love in the place of my Savvy, I wasn’t actually too impressed to be honest, it looked boxy and a bit plastic, not as nice as my blue Savvy. But it was very light and to be honest its not actually...

Siemens C62

Advantages: cheap, small
Disadvantages: poor quality, limited features, poor battery life

...I had a company phone C62 and all in all was not impressed. The phone displayed classic seimens style exterior which personally i dont like i think it looks cheap and untidy. I believe they do this in three different colours, white, red and mine was silver. It has a small square screen which sits above a cluster of buttons. Its power and camera connectors are on the bottom of the phone. The build quality is not very good, the battery cover on the rear of the phone is very flimsy and difficult to get (I broke mine twice). The sim card rests underneath the battery, infact the battery is the only thing holding the sim card in place. Its a reasonable size phone measuring height of 101mm, width of 44mm and depth of 20mm, it easily fits in your pocket or handbag and it weighs 85grams which is not to bad. I found one of my biggest...

Review of Siemens C62

Siemens c65, best toy.

Advantages: Has IrDA, MMS and built in camera.
Disadvantages: Sometimes freezes and takes some time to download or send files.

...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...

Review of Siemens C65

Siemens C35i SOO MUCH for soo little

Advantages: Stylish, WAP, Weight, Size, Vibrate Alert
Disadvantages: Button Size, Arial, non changable cover

...Siemens C35i Introduction I got this phone simply because it could do so many thins more than my last, a nokia 5110. And for £70 on BT Cellnet, in my opinion the best network at the moment, it was a real good deal, especially as it looked so smart, and was so small. (And you get £5 free calling credit) Good Points Some of the better things on the phone are the wee handy features like: *it vibrates, useful for school but can take a wee bit getting used to, *it has a ring tone composer, *200 names & phone numbers (100 on the sim card, 100 on phone), *predictive text messaging, *auto key lock, *and most of all WAP compatible. The phone is half as light as my 5110, at only 79g!! It’s also more or less half as thin and about 1/4th shorter. I must say I couldn’t not buy it! General Stuff After using my...

Review of Siemens C35i

Good bye my dear Siemens C45

Advantages: Resistant to bumps & small
Disadvantages: Low sound quality

...In the new era of mobile phones is difficult to survive for a long time. That?s why Siemens C45 will shortly just be a simple memory of how good phones used to be. It has been sharing a year and a half of my life, not bad to be a mobile, so I have learnt some things about it. For people like me that often see their phones falling to the ground is a quite useful phone, but not just the phone, is the make which produce quite resistant phones, Siemens does very well on that field. Moreover, nowadays, with the new photography technology mobile phones seem to enlarge again and it is then when Siemens C45 recovers its breath to go on surviving thanks to the advantage that gives him the fact it is quite tiny. I think it has the right size, smaller phones get me upset as you loose then more frequently and you even have problems to dial or right...
