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

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

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

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:

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

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

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. |

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 |
