This phone is getting released in europe within the nxt few days/weeks.
It looks the bomb! But the features look fairly poor. What do you guys think?

Pants with a big P.
Like a 7650 - slightly better looking but the features make me want to cry.

i've had a chanse to test it a few months ago. i was lucky to see the sales promoter form siemens. i can say this. its real a good small phone. it slides better then the 7650. this phone will sell good if the price isn't to much. the screen is 4096 but to me it looks just the same like the S55. the menu is pure siemens. i don't like it that much but its okay. one other thing that botters me is the navigation key, some times its hard to use.
if you use 2 phones like most people are beginning to do like this T610 and T600. this phone would be good to repalce the T600. maby the T68 2 but then the T610 is a better repalcement.

The SL55 has been out here for about a month now. It looks very very nice & is much smaller than the Nokia 7650!
Posted by Swag
Yeah, but can it do the same things? Didn't think so....
It's just a redisigned S55 with a better screen....

Tried one in one of their showrooms. Not satisfied, T68 is still superior:-D
Posted by royalty
no problem guys
Posted by bentheslayer
tried the SL55 today - very nice to hold in the hand, but I just can't stand the Siemens menu layout it lets the whole thing down. I'll be getting a P800, methinks!

Yeah. Siemens main problem is their horrible menu's...
Posted by Miss UK
The S55 menu ist alot better than non colour Siemens!
Posted by Swag
I've had the S55. It's exactly the same as the non-color ones, except for the icon-desktop (which looks horrible).....
But, maybe it's a matter of adjusting to it...

@Swag
I would say it is..
I would even go so far as to say the S55 menu is better than both the Nokia (simple to operate/navigate) and the SE (some brilliant solutions mixed with what can best be described as Motorola renegade layout
Maybe it´s just my way of thinking that suits the Siemens *or rather the other way around, come to think of it*
I use Windows XP, Mac OSX Jaguar and FreeBSD daily and they all have their benefits/pitfalls so maybe it is an
"adapting" issue?
Cheers!

i have no problem in adapting to any menu interface of any phone maker. those that cannot may be lacking some brains i say. when i shifted to SE i found the menu complicated than nokia's but i did compensate for it immediately. if you're a tech junkie and love high tech gadgets then it's to problem to you on the complicated menu system. to me siemens and SE's menu structure are almost identical, i liked the new SL55 and it has a cooler design and form factor which suits me just fine. i was once a brand loyalist but never again for i hate to be disappointed. siemens crap? ok, fine, whatever but why is it in the top 5 phone makers? it's crap

I only hv one complaint about the SL55
it's the screen
not very crisp
well, then again, I traded my T610 for it
and the T610's screen was amaze...
it's 256 colors if I'm not mistaken right? (the sl55)
Posted by ThreeX
4096 actually, but i don´t know what it is with the 4096 displays?!
They look washed out or faded I think! I´m not even sure if i prefer my S55 or the M/SL As far as I am concerned Samsung beats the living crap out of everything current, screen-wise at least, there are other aspects of Samsung that are debateable to be fair, but their displays rule! (Yes i have made a side by side comparison with the t610 in case you were gonna ask
IMO Samsung 5/5 SE 3/5..
If we were to discuss features you could most probably reverse the figures, but that wasn´t the issue on the other hand
Cheers!

The S55 needs a better Display! even my mates 7210
looks better than my S55, if it had this it'd be a Top phone
probaly be alot of money too...cos it's got bluetooth which the SL55,M55 have'nt got!!!
If only Siemens ajusted this
Posted by fijbert
yeah
pretty disappointed about the lack of BT
