Hey all.
I want to purchase a new phone.
It will be the Siemens M55
so look at the pictures:
Improvements of Siemens:
JAVA compatibility
4096 colors
much better design
calendar
menu animation
wav sounds
~1.3mb memory
handsfree function
much louder polyphonic!
Minus of Siemens:
No IrDa
No Mophun (well wtf its not that important
)
no removal covers (can't find them anyway in holland)
So eh.. what u recommend folks!
Is it any good or no?
Greetz,

So I assume that the T3xx tips and tricks thread you started will soon be renamed Siemens M55 tips and tricks?! LOL

Well I wouldn´t hesitate for a second choosing the M55 (out of these two choices) I still think the S55 is a best buy in it´s (present) price class though. No surprise really, the best deals are always yesterday´s hot poop that has now gotten stale in the shadow of the newer, shinier tackle
Guess it all depends on what you want from your phone, right?
Still IMO all the S55 lacks is a good screen, or better anyway, since it´s at least as good as t68i/t300(10)
I have said this before, but i could still pick any of my current phones and basically live happily ever after.
What i WANT is an entirely different matter though

I was thinkin bout gettin a M55 till ahh saw it for real lol I clearly think the S55 is betta too. if only a S55i wud be as real as they make it at Club Siemens! uhh
Posted by ThaDemon
What I really wanted is a better screen (256 colors sux
) and JAVA because I hate Mophun.
And about the Tips n Tricks topic.
If I buy the Siemens then it will be Next Month
Thanks for your info.
I'm waiting for more
Posted by caff
Why do u hate mophun??? Mophun got many fun and cool games.........You will be disappointed in Java.........esp in siemens as it run very slow and not many games on java are as good as mophun !!
Posted by Miss UK
despite the S55 having a 256 display its alot betta than the M55 still that ain't got bluetooth! @Java games r great theres alot available nowadays!
Posted by penny
i don't like siemens
my dad has it, my uncle has it too...
i don't like siemes
it makes me look more like my dad and so...
Posted by ThaDemon
Well Mophun is not that good.
There are not many games and you'll have to pay for each game that is also imei locked that sux
With java you can download (most of them) free and there are more populair games and also not IMEI-locked
And I like the style of the M55 much more than my T300.
And the screen is also somthing like 20x better than the t300
And what does they mean that S55 is better than M55
I almost never use IrDa and Bluetooth
Posted by Miss UK
lol at penny. what phone does ur da have? Siemens r gud fones betta than blokia haha! @ u can have fun with bluetoothu saw BJ THREADS?

Ive tried the M55 - and beleive me you do not want that phone.
Its boring - it looks nice - but the feel of the phone is very plasticlike and the functions and menusystem are pathetic and the Java implentation for games does not work well. Though the screen has more colors than T300 its still the same screensize and cluttered with menuobjects. You will regret getting a M55 - thats a promise
check out this review:
http://www.mobile-review.com/review/siemens-m55-en.shtml
My advice to you for a midrangephone is to wait for the T330 to be released. This will be a much better follow up phone after your T300 - this will have a bigger screen with more colors, a much better menusystem than the m55, and more features.

Anyway I can test the phone for an half hour in a special shop.
When I come there i'll test the phone if it is any better than my current T300.
And what is wrong with the java?
I've found already something like 300java games and apps for M55
BTW gonna check out that link
Posted by TheRealSpawn
Or if you like good screens - you also might want to check out the Alcatel 535 or the new Alcatel 735 (535 with camera)
They have the best colorscreens in this class - 4096 colors, 128x128pixels, screensize enormous 35x35 mm.
And it has IRDA
And it cost less than the M55 from Siemens even if Eldar from mobile review think its a much better phone than the Siemens M55
http://www.mobile-review.com/review/alcatel-535-en.shtml
check it out.

hey, i heard that the M55's battery lasts extremely short.... my friend owns one, and his usually ends up without batt at the end of the day! it might be an individual problem, but i suggest you ask around first.
and btw, there IS something i like about mophun: at least one can press more than one button simultaneaously... whereas for java, only 1 button at a time.
Posted by ThaDemon
I never had used 2 buttons at 1 time.
And the Alcatel isn't available here
And the Nokia 3510i has a lower resolution but the images looks fine so with a 101x80 pix phone it should be even better
And I've asked around about the battery life
If you play much games on the phone and call much it will hold it about 10 days
Only the first 2 times it will be empty in no time
Posted by GoH
you mean the first to persons you asked, or only the first two times using the phones?
and i always use two buttons at a time to play honey cave. you know, to jump and move forward/backward at the same time, and sometimes shoot too. tt makes three buttons at once.
edit: first TWO, i mean. pardon the spelling.

Posted by ThaDemon
Lol do you finnaly know what you're saying
first time it was 2 and now 3
But it don't bother me
Posted by GoH
ok crap. i screwed up my posting...
aniwaes, i was saying that i sometimes use more than two. i hope this doesnt confuse you. ah what the heck lemme rephrase:
"after much observation by myself, i have made a startling discovery. while playing honeycave on my t300 and getting slain by that beeeg fat bee at the last stage, i found out that i press a lot of buttons simultaneously in an attempt to perform impossible stunts to avoid getting slain (which still failed). eg, pressing 2 and 6 at the same time to jump forward. or let's say, 2+6+5 to jump forward and shoot. it sure beats pressing one button at a time as with java..."
i hope this is much easier to understand. and thademon, you still havent answered my question in the previous post.
Posted by ThaDemon
Ok I understand it
And both alcatel phones aren't available here.
And i've tested the Nokia 3510i and that phone got less pixels than mine T300
And however the images and java on that phone really doesn't look bad.
So if I get an phone with more pixels than a Nokia one 101x80 and more colors than the T300 256 -> 4096 colors.
It should be a good step or not?
And I don't like really Mophun because I don't like the games on it and I found a lot of cool games for the Siemens
And I like the design more of the M55 than my T300
I hope you understand me now
The Nokia 3510i and T300 and M55 is available here to buy but not the Alcatels
Posted by GoH
hey....... i was asking you what you meant when you said "Only the first 2 times it will be empty in no time".... and you still hasnt answered me~
NEwaes, why dun you wait for the t230? i think thats cool enough.... but if you like the m55's design, go ahead and get it. and why arent you considering the t610?
Posted by ThaDemon
Yeah yeah sorry i didn't knew what you mean
Well the battery is kinda dead when you buy it.
You'll have to charge it 36 hours the first time.
And if i'm right it's again empty at the same day you have full charged it so you have to charge it again a 12 hours this time
And after that the phone should have its 1.5 weeks standby
That's what I meant
Posted by GoH
woah, now that's the weirdest battery i've heard of... i suggest that you just follow your heart and buy what you want. btw, if you budget is not constrained you seriously should consider getting something better than the m55... like the t610... or wait for the newer models.
Posted by ThaDemon
I do got a budget
Sorry i'm only 14 if I had much money I'm sure I bought a T610
But no..
Posted by GoH
hey, im only one year older than you, and i've got the coll T6...8i... oops. i cant get a t610 either. no money. looks like we're in the same boat...
Posted by ThaDemon
lol so i'm not the only one
Posted by Leks
I would buy a Sagem Myx-6 if I was u.
It cost nearly the same and have 65k and camera!
Posted by ThaDemon
Don't think so here.
I can see them only from €300
And yes I want it but none of it found yet here and some are over the €300
2 bad
Posted by GoH
well why dun we wait for the t230 then? hehe. its better than your t300 and my t68i... though its connectivity is seriously limited by the lack of IrDA or Bluetooth. then again, i already have a cable (which cost me a bomb but can get pics FROM phone), and the t230 can send stuff via cable, so i figure maybe its a good investment for me.
the m55 doesnt have IrDA either aniway...
Posted by ThaDemon
Can you plz post some pics here?
ThnX
Posted by GoH
of? you mean the part where i send pics from phone to pc via cable? or the cable itself?
the sending of pics from phone to pc via cable i've got no pics (obviously, the phone isnt even released yet) but eldar says so, and i think i saw it on the t230 webbie as:
Connect to your PC
Connect your T230 to a PC with a cable. Transfer wallpapers, ringtones and pictures from your PC to your phone - and back.
Posted by ThaDemon
Nop pics of the T230
Posted by GoH
they are available at mobileburn and mobile review! but lemme link some for you...
Go HERE!: www.sonyericsson.com/t230
Posted by Gompedyret
The m55 looks cool and it sports nice features, such as letting you import your own wav files as ring- and messagetones (or is it only ringtones? correct me if I'm wrong) but IMO it fails in one important aspect: the buttons isn't especially user friendly. While looking good, they're small and hides too quick in the solid plastic case of m55. I, for one, finds this not especially comfortable and this was the main reason why I passed on m55 and decided for t610.
Of course it may be just my big hands that has a problem with it.
If you're okay with the buttons, then the m55 just may be the phone for you. But you may also want to check out the s55 (much better buttons) or wait for the new SE T230.
Anyway good luck deciding

yeah thademon, s55 is a good bet, if you dun mind the 256 color scrn. it has bt, if im not wrong? but i would still go for the t230.
Posted by acquiredtaste
look at Siemens SL55 instead...
Posted by GoH
nah that totally sucks. it looks ugly, its thick it runs with wap 1.2.1 and not 2.0, and it only has a 16 tone polyphonic speaker.
Posted by ThaDemon
I do bother the 256 colors
So I want the M55
And I almost never use BT or IrDa
A cable is just fine
I asked around about java and battery
The Java works fast only startup is like T300.. takes abt 10-20secs
The battery life of the M55 is about 7-13 days
If you really play much on the phone it will reduce to 4 days
Same like my phone
The T230 looks cool but it's almost the same as my T300 only some better theme compatibility and more colors
Greetz,
ThaDemon
Posted by GoH
now i dun see what good the m55 has over the t230...
Posted by ThaDemon
Dunt understand it plz repeat
Posted by GoH
as in, i dun know whats so good about the m55 that the t230 doesnt have.
Posted by ThaDemon
Java, Dynamic Light, Attachable Camera with Flash, Operator Pics, Animated Wallpapers
Posted by GoH
dude, java might have more games then mophun but you cant press more than one button at once! now that sucks when playing action games. and dynamic light is for crappy poseurs. the flash cam is good though. and the t230 ALSO has animated screens.
ah what the heck just go for what you want. looks like you got ur mind set on the m55. i cant change that.
Posted by ThaDemon
hehe
But I don't like the games that are made for Mophun
With Java I got cool games like SplinterCell Mario Tetris Snake etc.
And I don't think the phone will be cheap here (t230)
Posted by GoH
well its supposed to be a lowend phone. and besides hows playing splintercell with ONE button at a time!?
Posted by ThaDemon
Not noticed on N3510i
Just found some info
Most games do work with more buttons a time so relax a bit
Posted by GoH
dude! just !@#$%^ go for what u want!!!!! im sure u'll like it. both phones are waaaaaaaaay better than the t300! hehe.
Posted by sonu
Demon> no Ir,no BT can u live without that
,i can't
well it depends on u what ur requirement is.If u like it then go for it.
Posted by ThaDemon
@GoH
LoL, I drive you nuts don't I ?
Well whatever the SE T230 is also nice because... no joke
I still choose the M55
And I still want some user comments of the M55 who got it
Posted by Gompedyret
ThaDemon: Tried the buttons on m55?
Posted by ThaDemon
Not yet..
