New Siemens phones

[3ple4]

It seems that there are only a few Siemens users in this forum.

Do you think the latest models offered by Siemens have better UI? Are they already out in the market (eg: M65, S65 & CX65)?

The M65 looks like Ericsson's version of the R310 and Nokia 5210 while the S65 looks like the Samsung E700 (re: black area surrounding the keypad).

Aside from the crap icon set that marks the menu page in all color handsets, maybe yes. But I just can't digest the former, even if the phones were to offer a decent user interface...

god however much i try to like the m65 i feel like puking upon seeing it, its ugly! like full on ugly! lks like its got bunny ears or something with the top reciever, like the s65 though, now thats a phone..would love it in black

Among the new models, physically, I like the CX65, reminds me of the Nokia 6600 =)

[shaheen]

yea, cx65 is an awesome lking phone and its got the features, was planning on getting it but not a mega pixel, my next phone has to be mega pixel..

Is the CX65 already out in your place? Is it bigger or smaller than the Nokia 6600? Coz my brother intends to buy the CX65 but it should be small.

The CX65 is much smaller than a 6600.

When I read the specs of the CX65, I'm very disappointed that it doesn't have bluetooth.

I don't understand Siemens' strategy, why not include bluetooth when the phone's got a camera?! It's a similar strategy with Nokia, wherein you get a whole lot of features but then it's only dual band. This is why I like Sony Ericsson, they don't make the consumers disappointed with their products.

Thats because they dont have many products. Nokia has a whole massive range of different phones for different markets and consumers.

My two cents worth is that the new Siemens range is top-notch stuff. They're certainly better specified products that the current Nokia range. As for Sony Ericsson - well, I put them in the same boat as Siemens.. both companies can smell blood and are anxious to take market share.

I guess my view of manufacturers on the way UP is: Motorola, Siemens, Sony Ericsson, Samsung, Sharp and LG and on the way DOWN is Nokia and Panasonic. I'm guessing that Panasonic won't be in the market for much longer.

So which new phone has the works (eg: bluetooth, ir, tri-band, etc...)?
