Siemens S65

I just saw this phone yesterday in the shop and it was amazing. What I thought was really impressive is the size of the screen. The phone was smaller than the Nokia 7610 but had a bigger screen. I didn't see it working and that is why I wanted to ask what the features are on it? Anyone know, also if this is a smart phone.. if yes and if it has the usual smart phone features like bluetooth, Mp3, and the rest of it then.. this is going to be a seriously nice phone..
I'm suprised that The guys on this website haven't got their hands on one and it's already released on the market here in UK.

Yes Looks wise and just on the touchy feely side of things, this phone is probably the nicest I've seen out there after the SE K700, which is gorgeous. But we're all no longer even impressed by phones which have Bluetooth, Radio's, MP3 players, games, Camera's and video recorders.. or are we?

I have a Nokia 6230. It's an amazing little phone but my biggest gripe with it would be the tiny screen. I mean the SE T630 is smaller and has a bigger and brighter screen.

Hence my curiosity of the S65. It's not as nice in the flesh as maybe the pictures on the siemens website, but it's still a very nice phone, especially the screen which is Huge.

A couple of years ago when Nokia brought out the 7210 I got one and couldn't imagine ever getting another phone, but they're REALLY lagging behind when it comes to phone design and the only thing they had which beat the opposition hands down was the ease of use of the phones OS, which no longer is the case.

I think I will pop into the shop and have a look at a working model of this phone.. But my ideal phone would be one that looked like the SE S700, which was the size of a K700, with a 1mp camera, unlimited video, external storage and it HAS to be a smart phone.

My bro has a p900 and even though he hates to have to carry it around he is still amazed at how much you can do with it. The camera and video on it though aren't as good as you'd have imagined.

Sorry to disappoint you. The screen size may be bigger but not the resolution(dpi). The Nokia got 176 x 208 pixels and the Siemens only 132 x 176.

GoingCommando,

Where did you see the S65 on sale? I have been waiting for it for months and I would really like to see one "in the flesh".

I assume it can play WAV files? (Coz the M55 can)

My friend was shocked when he bought the Nokia 6230 and it can't play WAV files. I guess Nokia really doesn't include all the features in each of their models.

The S65 does not have Symbian, it is fully developed by Siemens and hence runs Siemens' own UI.
And no, it does not play MP3s either. But yes, it does play WAVs.
