I try again:
Does anybody know if this phone is able to make big letters for all options (phonebook, sms, manues, calender, stopwatch...). I dont want to use glases just to operate my phone.

I am an old Siemens user (ME45), and will be glad to park my present Samsung E500D.

      this phone is really good, camera is great screen is great too. mp3 sound is nice it runs wma files too

      but doesn't support java well, so not many applications might run, and its not mentioned above that it comes with 256MB sd in my country

      It can be used as a USB flash memory when plugged to any computer (and charges using USB), software should be more stable specially regarding MP3 running while doing other stuff on phone

      all in all good package and good price and again brilliant camera

        This phone is really great the features and everything. However, They should really try every aspect of the handphone software before selling it. Some points they should take note.

        1. SMS sending. U can only type one number and the rest have to come from your phone book. Its a little irritating for me as i tend to memorize all the number.
        2. The MP3 software is terrible. Everytime u recieve a phonecall or sms, your song wil replay from the start!! even if it is about to finish. So basicaly u can sms chat while your listenning to mp3 if not you will be hearing the same song over and over again.
        3. They should do more to make the phone faster. It is really slow at some screen.
        4. Most option can only be selected using the Keypad, this is ok. But when the rubber which makes the keypad comfortable drop off, it is really a chore to use the keypad.

        Some of these issue are really small issue but affect the usage great. If they can solve all these issue, this will really be one of the best handphone i have so far..

                yadayadayadaya!!! stop nagging!!! i had this phone for a month now and put it on alot of test and torture but it still works! doesn't hangs or prematurely shutsdown! try getting a phone for US$200 and does all that!.....

                camera, mp3, battery, calendar, signal, bluetooth, pc connectivity, and oled resolution are all good if not better.

                if you're still not satisfied, try getting a smartphone O2 for the same price (hehehe if you can find one)

                      what? is it true that the battery lasts only 3h 20min?! i read at benq-siemens' website that the battery life is up to 7h.
                      now i don't know who i should believe!
                      how many hours does your battery last aproximately? thank you

                          Great Looks, Great Mp3 player, Good Camera etc. All this cellphone really needs in an entertainment point of view is a Radio. If it has one please tell me!

                            hi
                            i think benq siemens is able to face sonyericsson the monster in comunication and entertaiment... all others nokia samsung and other aree fail they offer lots of models because when se lauch his w900 and 990 all other comapnies dont know what to do they just send lots of models in market to take attention of customer but they are failed but i think benq siemens are slow but thery are giving good things like se good camera sound speed and other things...slow and stadey wins the race like se... bye

                                  Good camera, Sound, Battery life, Design... But I don't like the OLED Display... The display will be good if used TFT technology
