Thi sis without doubt the WORST phone I have ever had. After 6 months I had to get rid of it. I now have the Samsung d600 which is lightyears better. The siemens was extremely slow, the camera was crap and was like the very first nokia 5610- you can hold like 15 texts at a time!! Also when you are scrolling through your phonebook you can only put in 1 letter to search and with the speed of teh thing it can take ages to get to the right person. To top it all off it broke after 6months and my contractor refused to fix it as they said it had moisture in it. Now i have never to my knowledge got it wet and in the past i have literally dropped my samsung phones in a few foot of water (accidentally of course- vibrated into the bath! ) and they have dried out and been fully functional! The person in the shop even had the cheek to say it could have been rain- oh yeah very durable phone huh?! I will never ever waste my money on a Siemens mobile ever again.

This phone is rubbish, I had it about a week before the case turned completely yellow!! It hasnt been anywhere for this to happen, except in my pocket. I dont think this should happen after a week. It freezes all the time, and the only way to make it work is to take the battery out and turn it back on. When i get an mms it wont open it, the screen is just white and blank. It can only hold about 10 sms. The text messages aren't listed by names either. The camera freezes, so you have to turn it off again. i wish id never wasted my money on this phone.

Hi there, I have just got this phone after having 2 siemens previously and I'm not too sure. How can you tell how many sms you have sent & recieved without counting yourself. Also how do you change the opening screen to display a shortcut to sms & not mms? Please help.

Hi, okay i recently brought this phone, but am taking it back tomorrow.
It has a 1.3 mp camera yet the photos are shocking. It took an age to focus things up, if i zoomed in the zoom was slow and jerky.
The phone itself seems average (which for the price i can understand, it seems to do its job, without being anything special, fair enough)
But is anybody else noticing shocking pictures?
To be fair, this was at night, in doors, but the room was well lit.
I compared it to my girlfriends Samsung E700 (a mere VGA camera) - and hers seemed to take better photos, like wise her mothers D500 and her sisters E800, all took far superiour cameras.
See, initially i was annoyed it didnt have bluetooth or movie capabilites, but considering its looks and how smart it looks when your taking photos i thought i would invest £80 anyway, but the pictures are just soooo shocking im utterly disapointed.
*So im just hoping some of you can point out its mearly a simple firmware upgrade necassary, or that mine was just faulty and if i get it replaced i'll be happy!!*
See, when i first took a photo (on the highest res and quality) it seems *OK* (far from good) but then as it saves the picture it becomes pixalated, and when you view it later, its just very poor, also theres too much spotting, like the image has been sharpened too much.
Im not expecting a digital camera in my phone, but something you can take decent snaps with!

After a week, I'm very pleased with the phone; stylish, light and well priced. Could've done with bluetooth and whatehaveyou, but it's not really a priority for me, and I didn't want to spend much.
So far, it doesn't work reliably on Linux, but I'm talking to the software folks and there's stuff coming. I can't find this firmware update; I assume it's a myth. However, it would be good if it did, as you could probably get stuff like MP3 on there.
If anyone knows anything about firmware, however, an email would be appreciated!
