I find it pretty fast, and it’s definitely not as slow as the T68 is…
@LadFromWales85
That’s pretty hard to test for me, because I never shut down the phone…?!? However, into the profiles, you have a special mode called “Aircraft mode”, which will shut down the phone and deactivate all the songs and alarms… and maybe the “battery low warning” too…??

Unfortunately, you’ll see only the name of the caller ! However, in the “Calls received” folder, you’ll find from which number was the call made…!!
@Bart
That’s your choice if you don’t like Siemens ! My opinion is that the S55 is a lot better than any other  phone (except maybe the P800, but that’s a PDA and not a phone…!)… but that’s just mine !! 
BTW, I had my T68m 13 months… and during the first 8 months it was just a piece of crap… not even knowing how to do an apostrophe by itself… not having calling images… not having themes… and so on…
A least, by Siemens, everything is included since the day you buy it… 
@funlovinkrim
You find the S55 is looking like a brick…??? !!! In that case, how do you find the SE T300…?? Like a HUGE brick…???
And if the future T68 is looking like the T300… I’ll for sure stay with Siemens…!!!
BTW a new “poly” T68…?? When…?? In Year 2048…??

I've got the S55 as well and it's dope... Better display and larger storage would be nice. |

You can not blame the phone for user errors can you? Or did the above mentioned features magically appear after 8 months?
At least my t68i had them from day one. RTFM really helps sometimes even if it´s not necessary on Nokia phones.
Another thing is that _I_ think the Siemens (and t300) has a bad case of the uglies.. but discussing taste is rather pointless, let´s be happy to have a lot of choices instead!
Cheers!

It has nothing to do with “users errors” !!
I just had to wait until made the MMS update (R2B025) before I had the calling image and themes… in June 2002… so 8 month after I bought my T68m…
Then I had to wait one more month to have the update R2E006, in order to have the T68 knowing how to do an apostrophe by itself…
In fact, I was wrong… I had 9 month a piece of crap…!!!
And if you bought your T68 after July 2002, you can’t imagine how it was before…!!!!
About what’ nice or what’s ugly… you’re right, it’s jus a matter of taste…!! And for me, the T300 is the ugliest phone ever made…!!!

The T68 came out way way before this "new" s55. While the S55 is a nice phone I am sure, its no ground breaker. It's basically a copy of the T68 with some added features no great shakes. They are about a year late imo. When the T68 replacement comes out in the spring this "new" S55 will look very very old. So please keep things in perspecitive, the T68 is stiil a kick ass phone even a year later.

You’re right, the T68 is now more than a year old and the S55 is, like you said “basically a copy”… however, with the S55 I didn’t had to wait more than 9 months to have all the features…!! (and it has a lot more than the T68…!!)
So, basically, the T68 is not more than 6 month old…!!
And if make a “T68 replacement” with poly and Java + a lot of other nice features (like the S55 ) at the speed they are making the P800… I suppose that Siemens will also have a new other phone…?!?
Anyway… I’m pretty happy with my S55 right now…

Does Siemens S55 have a melody composer ?
How much does Siemens S55 cost in other countries ?
Price in Sweden : 3900 SEK ( = 400 USD / 260 GBP ) |

Rlud your just making yourself secure in your purchase decision about buying the S55 and thats why you feel the need to dog the T68. I on the other hand am very secure in my owing the T68 and feel no need to defend it anymore. Go on and play up that phone, apparently it needs your support. gg. |

@MrSavoy
You’re wrong ! I absolutely don’t need to feel myself secure about my purchase of the S55…!!
And, BTW, I don’t care if people like or dislike Siemens… the same for the T68…!!
You know, I’m really amazed to see how hard T68 owner’s are trying to convince themselves that the T68 is still the greatest phone on the market today…!! Maybe one day they’ll be wise enough to open their eyes…
And BTW, I don’t really understand why you said that the S55 needs my support…?? Because with all the features it has, this phone doesn’t need any support…
