the siemens sf65 does have a video recorder on it, but to get that you have to unlock it by upgrading it.

the siemens sf65 phone is a very good phone, unfortunately if your use to texting people very quickly and ur not patient then this isn't ur phone, (how many times have people said that line already lol)...anyways its very stylish and easy to you but the way the icons are layed out does look a little dull but apart from that its a very good phone if u get it upgraded to ur standards! =)

Good Points
Looks great and really smart conversion into a camera. Some good features such as auto scrolling text message and simple to use.
Bad Points
No view window on front of the phone so you can't see who is ringing or whether you have a text/miss call etc.. without opening it. Picture quality isn’t that great. No video option. Graphics are very poor, as are the ringtones.
General Comments
I’ve had my phone for 3 days and I'm taking it back to the shop tomorrow! I'm very disappointed with the SF65, it promises loads but in my opinion fails to deliver. If you want a basic camera phone which looks smart (or to match your i-pod!) then the SF65 will suit, however I'll be looking elsewhere for better features - such as bluetooth, MP3, video and ringtones.

This phone is slow! slow, slow, slow! It's at least 5 words behind when I am writing a text. Like I am on word five of a text and it is still spelling the first word on screen. The screen freezes and when you put the phone on silent, the only way of turning vibrate off is to to go into 6 (yes 6!) different menu options and questions, before you can turn it off and get back to the main screen. I have only had this phone for 5 days and there is a return sticker in the post for me already, to send it back. I never complain, ever, but this phone infuriated me so much that I just had to!

On the internet this phone has had alot of criticism , which made me cautious of purchasing the phone , however once purchasing the phone i was surprised about how good the phone actually is , the camera is amazing 1.3 megapixel and a flash , which is very effective and rare on mobile phones . The phone looks amazing , which is the first thing you realize the flip feature to operate the camera is both pratical and looks good.The style of the phone is great as it means it looks like a camera as well as the phone it is meant to be. For £100 this phone is amazing value for money , it has everything that you need in a phone and for £100 it is the cheapest megapixel camera on the market at the moment being £50 cheaper then its nearest competitor . The phone is simple to use and you easily get used to the layout . overall i would give this phone 8/10 , and i don't think 8/10 is bad for a megapixel camera phone .

i like this phone,it is small, not too girly looking, has good pictures, but when i read the spec of it on the car phone warehouse web site it said that it had video capability,so i bought it just before i went on holiday for 2 weeks, got back to it and realised that there was no video and the data cable wont work cos it just says that there is no phone connected, and i cant return it no cos it has gone past the return date, but apart from those issues it is a very smart phone and it is "gangster" as my brother said and it has a certain x factor that other phones dont have cos of the flipping and then spinning screen is is kl, i would recomend this phone to anyone that likes images and looks, but not to people that want it for mp3 and video,get an mp3 player for songs and a cam corder for videos u stingy g*ts, in all this phone is a good buy and gets 8.5-10

Eva: Sure. The transfer via infrared works just like between two computers, no additional software nor driver.
