      It is still not possible to send a person with his contacts from the phonebook of my S88 to somebody by SMS. The only optin is Vcard, but evryone receives empty SMS from me.
      SW is 1.18.
      I decided very quicky to change my Siemens S65 with the "next S" but it's not true. The sotware problems of S65 are only fraction of the S88.

        @ dino

        the socket on the side is for the headphones and the usb cable...

        and yes you can take pictures and capture video in full screen mode and you can view them in afull screen mode. but there are black spaces on the sides when viewing the videos.

            waht comes in the package is standard, but the capacity of the microsd depends on your country...but it comes with the phone, manual, usb cable, headphones, and a micro sd

            the lareest for microsd is 1 GB

              well doit...to be completely honest with you, i find the S88 to be a very good mobile phone ingeneral...

              Advantages:

              1-Very good camera (the best 2 mpx camera out there) especially ion the OLED screen
              2- the OLED screen shows vibrant colors, its just beautiful and you can see a big big difference between the S88 screen and ANY other screen
              3- the speakers are loud and clear. louder than the K750

              disadvantages:

              1- the software is a little slow
              2- it is very simple, basic functions no advanced controls (you will notice a difference between it and othe original siemens devices)
              3- no themes applicable , only 3 preinstalled themes and no mp3 sms ringtones only 12 preinstalled ringtones can be used.

              but overall the software is very stable(i use 1.25) never hanged on me, never turns off...

              in a nutshell, as you can see the S88 is superioir in its hardware but weak in its software. so it all comes down to what you prefer...hardware or software

              do i advise the S88???? definitely!!

              hope this helped :o)

                      the S88 camera is defenitly better than the SE and Nokia cameras. i tried a nokia mocrosd card on the S88 and it didn't work, the phone did not recognize it. and the messages are stored on a seperate memory about 7.9 mb. i once had 500 sms in the inbox and there was still more space left!!!!!!!!!

                          HI, listen, bout ur first question, no idea. Nevertheless, ALL microSD and TransFlash cards R D SAME THING! Any of them shoud work. Once the phone asks for a microSD or TransFlash, d cell will accept any of the 2. Bout d 3rd ques, 2 megapixels is 2MP no matter whether it's Nokia, BS, SE, Moto, etc. It's a matter of resolution. So pics of any 2MP camera will have d same size (area). Nevertheless, different phones have different lens, different photo processors, and these factors, along with others, will cause d picture quality (Clarity, etc.) 2 change from phone 2 phone.

                          Hope this info helps.
                          PPL, i usually get 2 this site bout once a day, so keep asking ques, i'll answer if i can!

                                It all depends on what u want from a phone. OK, they say the firmware of K750 is much more stable than S88. K750 has radio n infrared, which r crucial feature 4 some ppl. Nevertheless, in my opinion these don't matter that much. With bluetooth is enough.

                                I think that in terms of camerawise, both r bout d same (Excellent indeed!). in terms of sound, d S88 seems 2 have a tremendous loudspeaker, that is both loud n clear, better than k750.

                                Ne how, just try 2 b more specific m so we'll b able answer better...
