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...

iPhone

Advantages: Touchscreen, easy to use
Disadvantages: Slightly confusing menus

...Previously had a Samsung, loved it's simplicity and the fact it was flawless. Everything worked, easy to use yet still up to date with technology However, I recently lost the it and was given an iPhone, this phone is way 'cooler' than any phone I have ever had. Apple are taking technology in mobile phones way further than other brands I feel, ok there are flaws but where there are flaws there are exceptions with other cool gadgets that have made me completely forget about comparing it to my previous mobiles. For example, Google Maps, easy to use and very sufficient Internet use, amazing screen quality with touch screen buttons that actually work... really well too! In fact the touch screen buttons is one of the main reasons I recommend this phone, although Sony Erricson and other brands have reached into touchscreen I don't feel any...

Review of Apple iPhone

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...

Apple iPhone

Advantages: read review
Disadvantages: read review

...As everyone know, iPhone became really famous after this product got in the store. In a sense, It's a copy of iPod touch, at least, because of the outlook and of course, because of music player. Here is my review about iPhone. Why iPhone is good? Of course iPhone is very famous, because of It's outlook. Of course outlook is great, there is a one big touch sensitive screen and one button, what has only one function - bring you back to "home". You don't need some stick to move menus, It's really easy to surf in menu with your finger. All things functions so coherently, and It's really unfamiliar, example, to use WiFi, you don't have to change any options or retool profiles and you don't have to worry. All things what you haven't done, and you want do continue it later, it always opens from same place and everything is auto...

The iPhone Masterpiece

Advantages: Visual beauty, ipod perfection, photo demon, movies screen, internet anywhere! PERFECT!
Disadvantages: cost and network locking (easily overcome) and ringtones (overcome aswell)

...This is the pinacle of phone, music player, video player technology. I can not believe how much stuff is wrapped into this beautiful device. okay first, there is the look. Now i doubt you will be able to find anyone who doesnt think this phone is gorgeous. It has an overall of 4 buttons and a switch. 1 for the home screen, 2 for sound, 1 for on and off and the switch to mute sound. The rest is controlled by your fingers on the 3.5" touch screen. It is beautiful peice of engineering technology. The touch screen is "clever" it know when you touch once, it knows when you pulling across the screen, it knows when your pinching. This is due to a sensitive electrical sheet underneath the glass, yes glass, that is connected to the apple mac os x system. It is stunning. The visual detail is nothing you would ever expect from a3.5" screen. You...

Review of Apple iPhone

iPhone I like

Advantages: Modern technology, amount of software and number of devices.
Disadvantages: No protective case.

...iPhone finally arrived on the UK market on the 9th November although not with the same amount of media attention it received in the U.S. it was still popularly accepted by the UK market. I bought mine on the 19th November for £269. This seems expensive but you get a digital camera, ipod and phone all rolled in to one with iphone + internet browsing and e-mail capability, also included are elements of a personal organiser (diary and notepad). The main feature of the phone is the touch screen technology which operates everything. Without boring you with technical detail I will tell you what I got from iphone. There are 17 screens (buttons you can push on the face of the camera.) The 4 on the bottom horizontal strip are the phone, e-mail, internet browsing and i-pod. There 13 buttons on top from left to right in 3 rows of 4 +1 are...

Apple iPhone negatives

Advantages: MacBook or Desktop in your pocket
Disadvantages: Less of a phone more of a PSP

...If you need a pocket sized version of your Mac then this is for you. Its secondary use is a phone. . small things like not being able to send MMS and even forward any text messages you have received are simple things Apple could have put into the iPhone. Also the iPhone has NO video camera function???? It does crash sometimes which is very annoying especially when on a phonecall. Also have you ever written a text only to press the send button and realise your sending it to the wrong person. . most phones have a cancel option. . but NOT the iPhone!!! The battery lasts the most I found 24 hours thats with normal usage ie iPod for around 2hours a day and maybe an hours talktime. I think more attention has been paid to the applications and the design of the phone rather that the basic phone features. If I had know all...
