M55 comes with an attachable camera, while C100 has a 65k screen. Both cost around 100 euros and I consider buying one of them for my mother. Which do you recommend? And how may colors does the M55 have? Appreciate it!

M55 has 4096 colors. C100 looks much prettier for women, ithas birds and landscapes in menu, but its screen is too small.

Thanks for your input, Payalnik. I am also interested how the two phones compare in terms of performance.

M55 has a fast response in the menu. Java is not so fast. C100 is also comfortable but its java is limited. I find the siemens interface more ergonomical

I'm afraid it's a promotion only in Romania, Miss UK. Connex (Vodafone) sells them for that price with every new subscription.

Judge pls don't go for the c100. It's a yuck phone. More colors but small size. Interface, response and menu sucks. The scroll buttons are mighty hard. Stupid graphics. No mms . Sick polys. You'll be happier if u give her a 230 :-)

Thanks to all for your insight - you really helped me make up my mind. Here is the link to the webpage (in english) where they advertise this product. Price: 115 USD with subscription or 165 USD without + VAT (19% here in Romania). I managed to find them a little bit cheaper at Germanos (a mobile phone retailer).
