now what.
how to choose.
and what dimensions have siemens s65 over sonyericsson k700???????


Posted by masseur
that didn't take long to create a comparison thread

depsite the specs I have yet to see a siemens phone I actually like using, the menus are usually very illogical IMHO, so its defo K700 for me.

but really we don't know enough about the siemens, certainly not as much as we know about the K700, to make a fair comparison yet, do you think?

Well from this pic, the K700 is smaller, but the S65 has a slightly larger screen and a better camera. I think I'd agree with Mass here though and still choose the K700 though, as I prefer the look of the K700 more.

though the screen resolution will probably be the same...

doesn't matter it;s gonna be delayed to 2020 anyways

k700 its not some big beauty but siemens is definetly ugly for me !

Posted by gadgetboytom
arent they both based on the same platform?


Posted by chungagoring
incredible, the joysticks are the same!

Posted by jack00
i don't know but can you really compare those two phones ?
one is for youth with also youth looking and the other one is buisness looking
i also guess that those two phones are based on the same platforum, btw at m-r.com someone how posted the K700 und S700 pics says that there is still going to be a T650 as T610/T630 replacement he also posted the features ... same as S700, just new bluetooth generation and some other bits ...

Posted by DragonEye
which phone is considered business and which one is not?

they both seem like business phones to me...

Anyone knows if the Siemens S65 has removamble memory card? In my opinion this, plus the camera resolution, would make the real difference. The user would personally decide how much to invest in memory, according to very personal use of the device.
Also, any of the phones has RDS in radio specs, found on most EU radios? It would be nice to have data over FM and receive who knows what from radio stations...

i dont know
i think that siemens s65 is same size like t610 sonyericsson
sonyericsson k700 have great design but sides on that phone and top of the phone is not so great it makes it ugly from profile look

three things that play a very important role if you really want to make a VS. between S65 and K700
> target group
> price
> release

i guess nobody really those those 3 aspects of the S65 ... just wait and see

Hi..

S65 has bluetooth, email, 65 tft screen. camera. atachable blitz, a normal light for camera (like the one on Samsung X600), mms, 32 mb memory, Can take up video, play mp3..

Posted by 701
They r almost the same ijn specs.I didn't know that it needs a small light to operate the video recs.A nice thing.But attachable( and probably bought separately) ? Neah...the price and the release dat eare the most imporatnt "features"

Posted by sepguy
It's much more important to me if it has java 3d or not (i heard that siemens licensed the platform too). The camera is less important...it should be definetely better than the one on t610..but i think vga is quite enough. For quality pictures i have my trusty canon or olympus.

PS What 701 said is also very true

Hard to say what of both is better

Posted by lalilulelo
arent s65 has no flash?

i'll go for the siemens phone. the phone looks way cool in black but i like better the design of the cx65. i can't wait for the asian phone makers to reveal their new joints this quarter. sharp released it's gx30 with mega pixel cam too for example. to me it is the asian makers that is to watch for.

Though i'm with K700 and SE, I have to agree that Siemens S65 looks way cool also, and it has a megapixel camera: 1 something. And also exchangeable memory, so it would be Siemens S65 I guess? I don't know, what do you guys think?
Also any prices?

Posted by jplacson
Comparing the S65 and the K700 isn't fair since they are different class phones.

The S65 is gonna be the rival of the S700...both will have 1.3MP cams, expandable mem, and hi-res screens.

The menu of the S65 is (rumored) from SE, so the menu structure should be almost identical to SE's.

Siemens seems to be playing both sides... Series 60 from Nokia, and SE's proprietary UI.... I think they're trying to win market share from both sides! hehehehe... smart move though. If Nokia or SE should disappoint any of their customers... Siemens is there to pick up the pieces.

Considering the specs of the S65... I'd have to say that I'm impressed. Siemens has always made decent units... nothing great... weird menus... and in the past, even weirder designs... but they seem to be learning...FAST.

The upcoming M65 will be the ONLY sports capable smart phone... complete with camera built in! Something I hope SE will have an answer to by Q4.

Just tried the cx and the m 65 such nice phones nice large displays much nicer than the k700 nearly bought the cx65 the s65 looks like the phone of the year cant wait to try it hope it is out soon before i buy the cx or m65 so tempted

Posted by ares
The s65 doesn´t have mp3 player onboard...so, wtf is the memory card expansion for???


Posted by david1975
Dont know not sure but the phone looks so nice so much more stylish than the k 700 always liked siemens phone

Posted by david1975
Actually used an s65 made it more difficult to decide which one to get its such a nice phone to use easy menu the mmc slots in the base of the phone the camera was great clear sharp screen feels great in your hand

Posted by *Jojo*
I think features wise the SE K700/i will outbest the Siemens S65 Though I noticed one very striking resemblance with that of the Siemens fone , it looks similar to that of the Nokia 9500 Communicator - front covers!

Posted by jakester2000
I had a S55. The buttons fell off. My friend had one too and had the same problem. Actually she had 2 replacements for the same problem. Im not sure I trust Siemans phones anymore.

Posted by david1975
Comparing the s65 and the k700 i havd tried both the siemens wins im afraid so much classier in my opinion

Posted by damo55
The k700 is el tato.get a s65,and be a winner

Posted by david1975
he is right se have failed to make an impession on me with the design of the k700 at least with siemens some thought went into the design not just the same design as all the other se phones they are rapidly becoming the next nokia except for phone sales ha ha

Posted by Melik
the design of the s65 is much better as the k700.

and specs too !!!

you say that you find the k700 better, cuz u are freakz


Posted by david1975
i tottaly agree with you

Posted by TheRealSpawn
Specs is definately NOT better on S65 on most accounts:
Lets have some facts on the table - I hate it when people only talk about what they happen to think instead of delivering some actual facts to backup their feelings.

screenresolution:
K700 176x220
S65 132x176
(Physical screensize is bigger on S65 but with lower resolution its also not as sharp as the K700 screen)

MP3 playback musicfiles or ringtones only on K700 - not on S65

MP4/AAC music playback only on K700 - not on S65

Radio - only on K700 - not on S65

Onboard memory:
K700 41mb
S65 11mb (but memoryslot/card for picture/video storage - not music as it doesnt play it)

Videorecording:
K700 - unlimited (upto max memory 41mb)
S65 - max 4-5 minuttes (cant remember the exact number)

Theming:
K700 themes - S//E supply a good off line theme editor
S65 themes - no theme editor available, but manual editing of xml files etc. is possible.

Basically whats left where the S65 technical specs are better are only
Camera 1.3mpix and a memoryslot with limited usefullnes.

The S65 is a nice phone (I like it to) and I respect others opinions on how nice it is - but saying the specs are much better on S65 ? give me a break

Also spare me the Siemens talk that S65 is a business phone much more than the K700 - thats nonsense - they are based on the same ericsson platform and have the exact same calendar and other personal manegement and web/wap/email possibilities and the same java posibilities. S65 is not a smartphone based on any smartphone platform - it doesnt have ways of adding any business applications that cannot also be added to the K700 and it doesnt have any other business like functions thats not on the K700 - its just an ordinary phone with a 1.3mpix camera and a memoryslot - and these things certainly does not make it a businessphone - on the contrary, as mobiles with cameras are banned in many companys today for securityreasons (industrial espionage). When Siemens fans would like this to be more of a "business phone" than the K700 its only because they need an excuse for the lack of mp3 and radio

N6600, P800/P900, SX1 are businessphones

S65 is a cameraphone ! - the camera is almost the only real thing that will sell this phone. Not the business nonsense. In fact I would guess most businesspeople would propably prefer the smaller K700 to the bigger S65 based on size - and the good connectivitytraditions of the S//E phones - rather than prefer a S65 because of its camera, they dont need the camera for business - this is just toy.

Sounds like you really needed to get that out i must admit i agree with you on most of it having had a good play with the siemens se and nokia im starting to like the se more and more might just be tempted to get one

Posted by TheRealSpawn
hehe - yeah and my sincere appologies if it came out a litle harsh - I never mean it that way but sometimes when writing long posts in forums where you cant see peoples faces - it can look more harsh than intended when you read it afterwards



Posted by TheRealSpawn
Here are some real live pictures taken with the S65
