CNET Asia Review

By Lee Chee Wee

Very good

7.1

out of 10

View score

The good: Triband; loud speakerphone; video-capable camera; snappy performance; infrared.

The bad: Manual slide-up; poorly designed WAP button; bad placement of camera lens.

The bottom line: This Siemens is a competent slider mobile but it suffers from a few glaring design mishaps.

COSTLY CRAP PHONE



Rating: 1 out of 10 (Abysmal)
Pros: THE ALARM U CAN RELY ON
Cons: EVERYTHING THE PHONES SHOULD B RECALLED
Opinion:
I BOUGHT MY PHONE 1 YEAR AGO PAYING £200 FOR IT.ITS BEEN IN SHOP 3 TIMES FOR REPAIR, TECHNICAL FAULTS DUE 2 SOFTWARE. IT CRASHES CONTINUOSLY CANNOT SEE PHOTOS, SCREEN BLURY CANNOT DOWNLOAD OR RECIEVE RINGTUNES. THERE R NO MORE ON THE SHELVES EITHER. CANNOT GET MONEY BACK. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND BUYIN ONE COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY.

 

Keypad cable broken after using 1 year and 3 months



Rating: 2 out of 10 (Terrible)
Pros: Good LCD
Cons: Designing issue
Opinion:
The keypad cable is inside the phone, so I got no chance to touch it. But the cable was broken after using for just 1 year and 3 months, and as high as 40S$ is required to replace the cable. Then what I can say is the phone has designing issue over that cable portion, and Siemens earn money by repairing a cable which has designing issue. Cheating behavior.

 

sux big time



Rating: 1 out of 10 (Abysmal)
Pros: memory space is quite large
Cons: everything
Opinion:
Got this phone less than 5 months and it hangs, turn off by itself, camera jams and cuts off while talking. I didn't drop it or even scratched it and it just breaks down. After repairs, another 3 months later, whenever you slide to close the phone, it shuts down. Try to imagine everytime you slide to close the phone it shuts down! The same problems recurred again and now my phone is under repair at siemens in Bugis already close to a month(sent in 2nd march) and still not done! First and last siemen phone i will ever buy.
