Unimpressed, disappointed.
I live in the US and ordered this phone from singapore. My main gripe is the battery life is just BAD. There is no way it lasts 5-6 hours as claimed. It is more like 2 hours talk time.
The battery cover and compartment is very cheap. I had to put folded paper in behind the battery to make it not rattle.
The camera takes high resolution photos but is worthless without ideal lighting. Unless I am missing something, the video can only write to the built-in memory, not the rs-mmc card. You can copy to it afterwards but it wont let you save directly to it. This limits you to 30sec. I like that you can browse the file-system from the phone, but I dont think you can just copy an application onto the phone and have it reconize it. Unless you download it through the browser I see no way to put apps on the phone. The latter issues might be partially my own ignorance, but the battery life and poor camera quality are enough to make me wish I had just replaced my broken t610 with a t630....

I have a question im about to buy the motorola hs810 bluetooth headset which uses the 1.1 bluetooth technology, well the s65 uses the 1.2 which is obviously clearer, what should I do?

The easiest way to turn your waves into IMA ADPCM, is using the windows sound recorder, just open your waves and ''save as'' then just change the format of your wave!!

Well, I had this phone and all I can say I was very dissapointed when I started using it. That camera can't make normal pictures it all looks like black & white, the phone is toooo slow, to run program it takes an ages.

i bought the s65 and i am completely pleased with the whole design. The fact is that i am more confused because i dont have time to organise all the things that i can do with it. the bluetooth is a little strange when using it with the motorola handset bluetooth. you have to sent the first time a call to the handset manually, then it works just fine! If somebody needs an MP3 player in the phone then they should look for an exclusive machine! It's phone with smart capabilities not a palm pc! Be Smart! if you play the mp3's from your mobile you should better have a nuclear supply with you! They need power you know! byeeeee!

"dear sir recently i came to know that there are some errors in ur product SL65. is it true."

Dear awais,
There are problems in our cellular products that we intended to keep to ourselves. Since you have already come across some faults (or errors if you will) I suppose it would be best to tell you some more.

- Due to a practical joke in the early development of the S65 phonebook, if you call the Support line supplied in there it will take you to a gay phone sex hotline. If they say "Would you like to be hooked up?" It doesn't mean what you think it will mean.

- During calls to anyone on you SIM you will hear a small whispering voice of a rastafarian saying "Hang up the phone mon." The story behind this was that when the parts of our S65's were sent to us from Jamica small eggs had layed in there which we thought were part of the battery as they seemed to not come off when we tried everything.

- If you take these phones near small turtles they will evolve into huge karate style turtle that love to eat lots of pizza. Also if you put it any where near a rodent they will run around insanely and there brains will explode.

- If you put it near a television it will go fuzzy and notice a woman with dark saying you will die in seven days. This is of course is our chief of staff referring to the phone itself with day warrantee.

Yours sarcastically,
