I did not use a mobile worse than this one, it is slow slow slow slow that sometimes i want to step on it with my feet hoping it will work faster.
any way to all who buy this mobile don't consider buying it a bad luck but take it as a test from God to your patient and when you have enough money to buy a new one don't think twice do it and keep S88 to remind you how a patient wonderful person you are.

All I can say it's good enough for me as a student. First, it has a 2 mega pixel camera. Second,it's cheap. Third and last,you can't find anymore of these babies and if you have one of these like me well, were unique unlike Nokia's that are very common. I would like to thank Benq for making this phone and I would like to extend my condolences to Siemens, hope you guys can be back on track.-Peace^_^

If you look for a smartphone then buy a Nokia or a SonyEricsson or an HTC....
This is an entertainment day use phone with good specs. Not the top of teh range like many people expect!

What you gonna face after buying it:

#Slow camera, work very bad on moving object comparing to SE or Nokia.

# No playlist on MP3 player.

#No Text file reading option.

# Large Java file not supported. In fact only 5-8% of java program will run on this set even they are small in size.

# image editor is really nothing but crap.

# Can't differ between "Blue" & "Indigo" color despite having OLED display.

# Slow animation & 3GPs require less frame rate to play smoothly.

#Bluetooth doesn't support remote controlling with PC or BT chat program.

# Using Opera Min is almost impossible in ths set.

If I can remember other demerits, ;ll let you know.

For new buyers, Don't buy it! Rather give your money to poor, you'll have more satisfaction than using this phone.

this phone is awful.
I bought it hoping for better replacement for my S75 business phone but instead a got a worst phone i can ever have. The camera is fine but not in the same level with those camera phone from SONER it can't accept large size java apps, and many other disabilities if you ever own a siemens phone, never consider this,i'm still trying to get rid of mine

IN reply to this i can only say, if Siemens was near to a quality of this brand, they would never end.
I had many Siemens and many gave so many headaches and a lot of problems, sepcialy the last series (75) with the worst battery perfomance i ever had the chance to manage.
Every phone has their downsides itīs natural theirīs no such as a perfect phone.

Well as you should know by now, unfortunately BenQ-Siemens no longer exists so you it will be very hard for you to find any retail shop with accesories, however you you can try this website www.club-siemens.net then choose Webshop.

OK itīs true it has some shourcomings, but hey many other phones have.
The software is fine if you donīt get much fuzy about it, every function is placed where it shoud be.
The thing i must praised about this phone itīs his steadiness, i donīt remember at all to need to remove the batery because the phone frozed.
This is the best phone i ever had, and i had many Siemens.
