Siemens SL45

All I have to say is that this phone deserves a good nod and rub of the chin. Siemens has been classed as the handset underdog for a while now, with its failing attempts to market itself more at the 'business' users market. As a result their handsets are often over looked over to the more attractive and fun Nokia and Ericssons (even the much improved 35i series!). But with the launch of the long, and eagerly awaited SL45, Siemens have definitely made a comeback in the eighth round. Just with the first visual impressions of the phone you can see that Siemens have finally worked out the perfect combination of small, slick and sexy. And the SL45 ...  Read the complete review

I have recently bought this phone 2nd hand @ about half year old, i have owned it about 6 months and its great!! Especially the mp3 player, not a patch on the nokia with fm radio! even with the 32 mb mmc card it can hold 7 songs, up to 30 on the 128mb one! It cost £120 second hand, which wasnt bad, its menus are easy to follow, the screen is great for WAP, as it is large. The control on the headphones is great: you listen to music on em, someone calls, u press the button an u can speak with them hands free, without having to get the phone out. You can also make voice commands to call someone, if you are out of the mp3, press the headphone button, say who ...  Read the complete review

It's absolutely stuffed with features! To start with the intergrated MP3 player is of very high quality and handles quite low-bitrate mp3's without loosing too much quality. most simalar specced mp3 players cost £100 pounds and up, so you're getting a bargain! On top of this are the phone functions themselves: -dicataphone: full digital vioce recorder offering many hours of recording on the memory card (depending on free space) plus voice dialling features -large 101x80 pixel LCD screen which is brilliant for WAP access, giving you about 7 lines of text or the option for about 4 lines of larger text size -Aluminium coated case: ...  Read the complete review

I like the x35 series of phones, but not quite enough to tempt me away from Nokia. When the Sl45 came out though, it immediately got my attention and when my contract came up for renewal tehre was no way I could avoid such feature packed phone. The first feature that strikes when using the phone is the size, and then the weight, it really is very small and light. It isn't the smallest, nor the lightest phone on the market, but it does so much, it's incredible for the size. The screen is also very big, again a suprise for such a small phone. To be slightly different it's an orange screen, which has a rather unique fading backlight. It's ...  Read the complete review
