After the lush SL45, Siemens turned to the GPRS capable devices market presenting their latest mobile S45. This phone is mainly targeted to the demanding customer who desires the direct and fast connection to the Internet or in corporate intranets. The main characteristics of S45 is the capability of allocating the available memory to the different applications that interest its holder most of all, its compatibility with the specs of the new WAP version 1.2 and the included system of open conference.

The first GPRS device of Siemens externally adopts the characteristics and feel of the SL45. Its very well looked after design and small size put it in the hi-end class of mobile phones. The implementation of the antenna in its interior contributes greatly to its small volume, which is only 69cc. The weight of S45, after putting the battery that comes with it, weighs in at only 93 grams. [This is about three ounces! for the imperial die hards!]

On top of that the device boasts a full matrix screen/display where mobile graphics and characters of changing size can be represented. It can display a maximum of 7 lines of text, which admittedly are enough for your browsing through text messages or information from the Net. The colour of the screen is expected to be green; though the one I came across was red and not a very good shade of it. The phone will be sold in two metallic colours: silver and blue.

Undoubtedly, the support of GPRS services is the most important advantage of this phone. The owner of S45 can download date from the Net much faster than an average phone. So fast that a friend of mine abroad is using it to connect its home computer to the Internet! If you try it yourselves, expect speeds similar to your 56K noden, if not better (signal strength must be 5/5). The included browser, which is WAP 1.2 compatible, allows the direct access to necessary information and can b
e used for the secure dealing with electronic transactions! As far as connectivity is concerned, this phone has an infrared port, while the software that comes as part of the package allows for data synchronisation with Outlook. The device as already mentioned offers the feature of open conference plus voice dial, voice commands and voice memo with a duration of enough time for a number of calls!

Finally, it is equipped with lithium ions (Li-Ion) battery of 850mAh that allows for up to 300 hours of standby and 6 hours of continuous talking time. Very useful is the charging time, which comes to under 2 hours for 100% charge.

Probably, my next mobile.
