Advantages: good looks, good price, decent features

Disadvantages: can probably find better

When I first saw this phone I was suprised at it's size. It is a remarkably small phone and weighs quite a little at just 135g. I think that this phone is a quite cute and good looking. It is also available in 2 colours depending on the network that you go with and the exact model number that you are able to get. You can get it in black or a rather funky, stylish and good looking bright blue thats really very attractive and if I was to purchase the phone myself I would go for this blue colour.

This phone is one of the best in the business when it comes to the battery capabilities for talktime and yet one of the worst when it comes to battery standby time. It offers a very impressive 5 hours of talktime which equals all other competitors like Nokias 5110 and it's big brother the Siemens C35. However when it comes to standby time it offers a pitiful 100 hours which is the lowest that I have ever seen from a phone apart from Motorola's M3788e which offers 100 hours also, but we must remember that the M3788e is just 30-00 and the Siemens C25 is 80-00.

As I mentioned earlier the Siemens C25 is light at just 135g. As is standard with all phones it will store 99 names and numbers in it's memory. A very good feature of this phone is that a number of it's ringtones are actually specially composed by a host of top DJ's, which is a major coup for this phone. You can also compose your own.

As for network compatability, this phone is available on Vodafone and Orange. It's not available on Virgin and i've not seen it anywhere on BTCellnet or One 2 One so your slightly limited as to your choices on this phone.

Overall you have a very stylish and funky phone here and I wouldn't worry too much about it's poor standby time. It looks good and has a number of good features and should be looked at if it's in your price bracket.
