Siemens SL65

Advantages: Easier to use than SL55
Disadvantages: A lot

...What can I say about this phone? I bought one for myself just before Christmas because I had always wanted the SL55 but felt it was too small and dinky to press buttons etc. This larger version of that phone is a lot easier to use due to a larger screen and larger buttons on the keypad. It also incorporates a camera capable of taking still images or 30 second video clips. It's not a bad camera, but there are better ones out there if you take the time to look around. Other features include a sound recorder, so that you can record songs and noises and set them as ringtones, and the other usuals, calculator, stopwatch, alarm clock etc. The Siemens SL65 comes standard with three games, which are: Bubble Boost (a platform game a bit like rayman), Golf Pro 3D and Siemens Rally all of which can be quite addictive if you start playing...

Everything you'd expect of a satellite except SKY

Advantages: Free to view at a highly affordable price
Disadvantages: No SKY but not in itself a bad thing

...Thanks to Rupert Murdoch, most Brits think 'Satellite TV = Sky TV" - well it doesn't! First of all, there's more than one Satellite, and secondly, he doesn't own all the channels (well not yet anyway!) Certainly, in the UK, Sky are the only people seriously promoting Satellite TV, but there's literally hundreds of stations, in dozens of languages, and you can pick them all up perfectly legally without taking out a subscription. That's where the Comag SL-65 comes in. The SL-65 is an entry level digital satellite receiver, which connects to a dish at one end of a wire, and your telly at the other. If you don't mind being stuck to one satellite, you can connect it to an existing dish instead of a Sky box, but with the right kit, you could be surfing up to a couple of thousand channels a night! There's four main...

Samsung PL65

Advantages: Great features
Disadvantages: None really

...The Samsung PL65 is a simply designed, nice looking camera that boasts 12.2 megapixel's amopng it's high quality features. It has the attraction of a higher end camera but is priced, although not cheap, fairer than other cameras of this quality. However, if you are not interested in the settings and just want to take some holiday snaps or Birthday photos, you can use this eassily too. The camera's smart auto will choose the best settings for you to ensure great pics every time and with the dual image stabilisation, you don't have to worry about pictures coming out blurry because of your hands shaking. These features are really worthwhile and make a big difference when the camera is used by someone who may not be used to taking snaps. There are some other features that can help with problems such as the blink detection and red eye fixer...

Smooth and sexy Siemens

Advantages: Good looking,nice sliding action easy to navigate.
Disadvantages: Poor camera,easily scratched screen turns off in your pocket.

...every day. Volume can be set to various enviroments including noisy and quiet. It has only been on very few occasions when i have been unable to hear the caller. Oneday getting into car phone rings as i am sliding the phone open in one hand as i have always done with flip phones, it slips out of my hand and bounces down the drive. Totally devastated expecting the worst. Phone had survived with a few scratches. So quite a sturdy phone but easily scratches. Tried replacing the covers at a phone shop but they said you couldn't get them as the phone was that new. He also said if i could exchange the phone it would be better as they had 10 SL65's returned that week knackered. My phone is in my pocket at work all day and i have found it scratches very easily not just on the case but on the screen too. There are covers out there but why...

Great phone-insurance needed

Advantages: lots!
Disadvantages: had to be replaced due to serious fault

...After seeing the great adverts on T.V for the SL65 i decided to upgrade from my MC60. Being a great fan of Siemens mobiles I expected an easy to use, reliable phone. I got the phone on contract so didnt technically pay for it but it was valued at £299 for insurance purposes (from dialaphone). The phone has a colour screen, MMS, GPRS, infared, digital camera and many more features but these in particular are the most important and what attracted me to the phone. I have found the camera to be superb. You can choose from a variety of settings (premium,high,medium,wallpaper)and the lens can zoom in 5 times and you can make adjustments to the light to suit the environment you are in. the picture quality itself (on the premium setting)is great.The images are sharp and it picks up light and colours really well. You can also record some...

Fashion or Function?

Advantages: Stylish, functional and excellent keypad structure
Disadvantages: Disappointing camera, fairly low quality screen

...After seeing the exceptional external sleekness of this phone i felt the need to upgrade to one myself, and by doing so i have decided to write this review based on my experience over the past 5 months ive had it in my posession. This is brief, and i would highly recommend you look into some dedicated phone review sites to go in-depth on all the features etc. Firstly, this was the only Siemens i have ever purchased and so the layout and usability was completely new to me - although picking it up is not difficult (its a phone!). Ive always felt Siemens as a company were below the competition in phone manufacture. Companies such as Nokia, Samsung and Sony-Ericsson are by far more advanced in their development and this shows in the internal 'brains' of the SL65. The menu is much like a newer symbian Nokia or Samsung in that there are...

Classic 500SL

Advantages: Affordable luxury motoring
Disadvantages: Buyers beware!!!!

...Tomorrow is a sad day. I'm going to drive my much loved 500SL from Glasgow to Cheshire where it's new owner will be waiting. The car was new in 1988 and cost the lucky buyer over £40,000. After looking at many examples I eventually found this one and bought it in 2000. The car was in great condition having covered 68000 miles from new. Everything was right about the car, no rust, a full dealer history, a recent service and an enthusiatic owner. This review is for anyone considering buying an older car. It can be a great joy and relatively cheap but only if you're careful on day one. This model of Mercedes, known as the r107, was one of the most prestigous car of it's time. The build quality is superb and with proper care the car will go on for ever. My car has been a pleasure to own and I have been fortunate with the choice...

E65 Nightmare?

Advantages: Overall a good phone, with good features and looks pretty.
Disadvantages: Slight technical glitch makes a nightmare situation for an impatient person!

...I recently upgraded my phone from the now very outdated LG U890, to the Nokia E65. When it arrived, I was like a child in a sweet shop, I was so excited about it's smooth, sleek and shiny appearance, and it felt great in my hand! It felt really light and generally professional. When I first went to use it, though, I found it quite difficult to get the thing to work! I couldn't find the menu key (maybe I should read the manual?) so it was a nightmare trying to get to my messages. It was also a completely different lay out to my previous phone, meaning I couldn't just click the down button to get to my contacts, but once I realised this, all was well. When I discovered many of the different features, I was in awe of the message reader, which kept me amused for a few minutes. I'm not a business person so a smart phone is not...

Drum Roll Please...

Advantages: Small and Lightweight, Lots of Features, Attractive
Disadvantages: Battery life could be longer...

...Aah, Siemens, how you make me smile. Well, what can I say? I've had this phone for quite a while now, and I think it's time to tell the world how much I enjoyed being the lucky owner of the SL65. Here's a quick run-throughof the little feauturettes that make me proud to own this phone... Camera- Not a bad camera, overall. It has a focus of 1:2:8 and is digital, and records short movies as well as taking photos. Quality? Not bad, I mean, the videos look quite fuzzy when played back, but the pictures have a nice graphic to them. Pre-loaded stuff- The SL65 comes pre-loaded with a lot of fun things. It has 3 games (Bubble Boost, Golf Pro 3D and Siemens 3D Rally), comes crammed-full of little animations and pictures, and has a lot of cute little polyphonic tones. Handling- In my opinion the SL65 is quite easy to use. It has...
