Flashback: Siemens SX1 was the original McLaren phone

12 January 2020
Siemens released several other racing-theme limited editions of the phone. The company also used the SX1 as a basis for some crazy prototypes.

    I really miss siemens mobile, was a fan... They had success in their 45 series, the S45, the rugged ME45 and the premium mp3 player, SL45. Good 'ol days... Had the M35, ME45, the M55 and the ME75

      It's a shame. I had the regular silver model in 2006. It was an epic device but quite unreliable. It had a very faulty pcb. Most symbian smartphones had 176x208 screens, while this one sported 176x220! This was a big deal back then, and a snappier CPU than most of the competition.

          I did work on the SX1 software and appreciate a lot working with Siemens engineers based in Alborg.
          I'm lucking, I got one SX1 McLaren edition as a reward and I still have it.

            This is funny only difference between models was the button distribution

              Phone designs used to be so much more fun, sometimes bizarre.

                  Had plenty of Siemens phones AL21, CF110, SL75, SL65, SL55, A50 and the C25

                  And then the Ben-Q Siemens branded EL71

                    for me it looks more like porsche interior that mclaren :)

                            oh my goodness another flashback to when phones were exciting and each day/month a new design came out..Going through all the Sony Ericsson, Siemens, Nokias, SPV range XDA range its just brilliant exciting days. Now since 2010 my smartphone addiction plummeted just boring slabs now.

                              Back in the days when the phones were actually cool and none were look-alike. And yes, Siemens Mobile was one of the greatest phone makers back then.

                                  Please don't compare this. Siemens is not here anymore, let's not have the same curse on 1+

                                    As cool as mi mix alpha/mateX today, but difference then was way bigger. It looked very futuristic then, made me think my phone is few generations behind.

                                      3660 had the normal, it succeeded the 3650 which had the circular keypad.

                                        I have the SX1 in my old phone collection and it still works perfect. What an amazing an unique phone it was.
