5.0 out of 5 stars Best Bang for your buck, January 28, 2005

This review is from: Siemens C61 Phone (AT&T) (Wireless Phone)

For the price of a fat bar tip you can now own a mobile phone that does what a mobile phone is supposed to do without the bells and whistels. You get the basic sms modes, settings, basic address book, some games and whatever else you would expect with a mobile phone that comes free with a packet of cornflakes. The battery lasts about a day if you do not use it much. To be honest 10 sms and 1 10 minute call and this phone is gasping for electricity.

However it does what a mobile phone should do for a next to nothing price.

If you do not use mobile phones this is one to get.

I have this phone , I got it free with a plan. I love it. It's reception is clear, it almost sounds like a land line. My kids bought several of the more expensive cell phones and I ended up replacing all of them with this. I really love this phone.

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent value - Quality Engineering, June 3, 2005

This isn't a bad phone for the price. I had one for about a year... OK display, great battery performance (charges quick, and you can talk for hours on a single charge), good keyboard, good sound quality(for playing ring tones), decent hands-free performance, rugged construction, semi-confusing menu system.

But, it doesn't come with a built-in camera - so, when my C61 met an early demise, I decided to get the newer model Siemen's CT66, which has a camera, and uses the same charger as this model (so, at least I don't have to buy all new chargers for my car, work, home, travel bag, etc.)... I had an A56 before this one, and gave it to my mom when I upgraded to this one (that's another reason why I have so many chargers).

I'm partial to the Siemens non-flip design - it goes in and out of your pocket really easy... and I really like that they don't change the battery charger interface when they release new models.
