Upgrade your software version to 44. This is done via Settings, Phone Settings, Device Mananger.
My filtering problems are solved and any other as well.

The S68 is the best phone I ever had. My other workhorse is a S55. The functionality and everyday practicality of Siemens phones are really good. On my S55, I could program my left soft key to anything, especially an emergency number. Now with the S68, the progammeable soft key is on the right, including a dedicated fast dialling key on the side of the phone.
I have my S55 now for more than two years and the battery refuses to degrade in capacity and talktime. The internal battery as well.
I was a Nokia fan like most people. Tried Samsung (even better). I use to fix all brands of cellphones. Siemens is just in a class of it's own. Components used are the best on the market. Build quality, reliability and finish is just exceptional. My new S68 is even better. Love the phone and all it's functions.
BenQ-Siemens fan for life.

I want to buy this one, but I wonder, can download a short part of mp3 in this mobile and make it as a melody ?

It seems that BenQ moves its production to Germany according to this article http://outsourcing.hut1.ru/ind...ourcing_plan
Hopefully, this will drastically impact on quality

How can I enter a pause in a stored number? For example, I want to enter a pause after a voicemail number and before the numerical password. I have never seen a phone that can't do this but I can't figure it out on my new S68. Thanks

1) I've been using Samsung, Nokia and Alcatel and found my old Siemens S-35i as the best phone in terms of "Alarm & Calendar Management" (S 35i has daily, weekly and certain date Alarm options, as well as "To do list" with alarm).
A question to anybody who is using this phone: Does S-68 has that ability as well?
2) I'd like to ask whether this phone will ever enter Asia market?
Thank you.

I have had this phone for a week and find it very good with one exception. Does anyone find the maximum volume too quiet? When I try to use it on the street, I have a hard time hearing with the phone pressed solidly against my ear. My old Nokia 6100 was much louder. Thanks, Colin

You're right, the "E" dissapeared after I updated the firmware.

HERE WE GO AGAIN.
It seems like every phone brand today needs a brain therapy!
REASON:
Look at this great mobile phone.
This would be the best simple phone if it was thicker , thus would have normal batterry capacity. How the hell you can have a bluetooth in phone and make the phone so thin that it cannot fit more than 600 mah batterry?!
BEN-Q or whoever the hell you are:
GET SERIOUS!

It does NOT have EDGE!
There is a bug in some of the early firmwares and it shows EGPRS instead of GPRS on the display.

Yes you may be assured that this phone works great in every aspect. Specially after upgrading the firmware to version 38. I've always both and used siemens and before nuying this model I must have read these comments thousands of times as well as any other coments and infos I could find on the web.
I was a bit afraid of the fusion benq-siemens (although I had a c62, which is part Eriksson). But I can assure everyone that it has been my third week with this phone and I love it. The battery runs great and it can run for a full week if you don't talk much. I do an average of 45 min. to 1 hour per day on calls, plus using it as a modem for my laptop and downloading stuff and the battery just won't die.
It's agreat phone if you're not interested in multimedia. I was dividede between this model and the s88 for the multimedia options (for once in my life!), but since I'm in the multimedia field I really don't need any more video or photographic cameras than the ones I already use everyday. Specially if they have less image quality. As is just a phone, and it's suposed to make calls and receive calls and thank god it can handle data!
Downsides: some aspect of the menu like adding contacts ad stuff could be easier, umts would be great for professionals that need a fast moem on their phone. Even if they don't count on videocalls.

I use it very often talking and playing chessmaster on it, and my batery lasts more than 4 days. To anyone that consider this phone: Don't look at the pictures, try to get it in the hand. Much better looking than it looks at the pics.

I would like to know if the battery is good, with normal usage, say 10min/day plus some sms and clicking. How long does it last?
