It's MOBISTAR in belgium.
You can only get internet with an S65 I think...otherwise it's still a very good phone!

In answer to the last comment, mobistar or movistar lilke in Spain? Well i had the same problem with mine here in Portugal, with Vodafone, back then i went to a store and use it with the settings of a BenQ-Siemens EF81 and in spite of different menus, it worked. This is the problem when you don´t buy the phone in the operator like i did.
Speaking about the screen, it´s right what you said, the saturation is excelent such as the elevated contrast ratio 1000000:1, if you´re using the camera you have to use manual settings to get the best of it, sometimes automatic doesn´t deliver the best.I´m still looking for a better display phone and i haven´t found it, and this is a 2006 phone!!!Amazing

The 2MP camera on this phone is better then my dad's Nokia 6300.and much more simpler to use.It's OLED screen offers a very high saturation of colours so it's not that good screen.
another bad point is that I can't get internet with it(i'm in mobistar)

Agree with last comment, the thing is, the bundled software in the cd is awful...This kind of phone deserves a better cd software.
I have one more than one year and i intend to keep it at lest another year. See the competion and the latest phones on the market and you wont find such a magnificent screen quality!
Realy it´s impressive, i stil don´t get it , why manufacters insist on TFT technology, OLED is so much better. The only major problem is visibility under sunlight, otherwise is perfect!
TV manufacters already understood this and intend to develop this technology in future TV´s... Sony already launched one model in Japan

to all who are disappointed with the phone, keep in mind that it came out more than a year ago (more or less). I have one and I've been using it for quite some time. I don't think it would ever compare with the latest phones out there but, for its time, it was one of the best. Great camera (with great stabilizers and flash), great mp3 player (with playlist), great form factor and GUI usability. Plus, it's pretty rare to find somebody using it these days and that's a definite plus.

how many sms can be stored in the phone ? does it also have an sms archive just like older siemens phone aside from the regular sms storage ? can we put them in separate folders too?
500sms in phone memory, yes it has an archive but it´s called private folder, wich mean is protected buy your phone code.
it has the inbox, sent messages, drafts and to send.
it´s a great phone but unfortunately is sometimes a bit slower when typing sms specialy if you pass the 160 caracheters....Apart from that the software is intuitive and easy, and it´s very stable unlike Siemens software, wich was often necessary to reset....

I did not use a mobile worse than this one, it is slow slow slow slow that sometimes i want to step on it with my feet hoping it will work faster.
any way to all who buy this mobile don't consider buying it a bad luck but take it as a test from God to your patient and when you have enough money to buy a new one don't think twice do it and keep S88 to remind you how a patient wonderful person you are.

All I can say it's good enough for me as a student. First, it has a 2 mega pixel camera. Second,it's cheap. Third and last,you can't find anymore of these babies and if you have one of these like me well, were unique unlike Nokia's that are very common. I would like to thank Benq for making this phone and I would like to extend my condolences to Siemens, hope you guys can be back on track.-Peace^_^

If you look for a smartphone then buy a Nokia or a SonyEricsson or an HTC....
This is an entertainment day use phone with good specs. Not the top of teh range like many people expect!

What you gonna face after buying it:
#Slow camera, work very bad on moving object comparing to SE or Nokia.
# No playlist on MP3 player.
#No Text file reading option.
# Large Java file not supported. In fact only 5-8% of java program will run on this set even they are small in size.
# image editor is really nothing but crap.
# Can't differ between "Blue" & "Indigo" color despite having OLED display.
# Slow animation & 3GPs require less frame rate to play smoothly.
#Bluetooth doesn't support remote controlling with PC or BT chat program.
# Using Opera Min is almost impossible in ths set.
If I can remember other demerits, ;ll let you know.
For new buyers, Don't buy it! Rather give your money to poor, you'll have more satisfaction than using this phone.

this phone is awful.
I bought it hoping for better replacement for my S75 business phone but instead a got a worst phone i can ever have. The camera is fine but not in the same level with those camera phone from SONER it can't accept large size java apps, and many other disabilities if you ever own a siemens phone, never consider this,i'm still trying to get rid of mine
IN reply to this i can only say, if Siemens was near to a quality of this brand, they would never end.
I had many Siemens and many gave so many headaches and a lot of problems, sepcialy the last series (75) with the worst battery perfomance i ever had the chance to manage.
Every phone has their downsides it´s natural their´s no such as a perfect phone.
