Quite probably the worst phone I've had the misfortune of owning, ever..
I bought this one 1.5 year ago as a -relatively- cheap, throwaway phone for use during my national service, because I had been satisfied with older Siemens models (especially M35i). Unfortunately, the Siemens A60 proved itself to be a piece of garbage, even for its low-end positioning. This phone turned me off Siemens mobiles for ever!
Problems..
--Flimsy construction, creaking plastics, gets scratched all too easily
--Does not have automatic keylock feature. Additionally, the manual keylock itself is useless, as it is stupidly bound to a single button (#), meaning that the phone will regularly unlock itself while touching your keys, or some coin in your pocket.
--The keys (ALL the keys, including "call") have a lousy feel, and the tendency to easily get pressed while the phone is in your pocket. This might lead to unwanted calls and charges quite often.
--It has no archive. Seriously. You open up the "calls" list to check when you made a previous call, or sent a past sms, and you're surprised to see.. it doesn't keep records for anything outgoing!
--Lousy battery uptime. Drains within 2 days of sparse use.
--No calendar!!
--Build quality is so bad that a 1.5 year old device looks like it's been beat worse than my 4 year old M35i (and 5 year old Nokia!).
Need I continue? This a phone to be avoided -- even if someone gives you one for free, pay a couple of euros more to buy a *real* cellphone, and send this one to the trash, where it belongs.

I am using this phone for 2 months. In the start I found this fone good, but after some time I really got bored of it. It doen't have no MMS. Its colours are also very dull and yellowish. One cannot compare it with any other colour fone. :(

One more thing:
If your battery does not stand enough - remember to set the brightness.
In the evening I set it to 20%, and in daylight - about 40-50%.
Note that few models in the world have both brightness and contrast settings !!! (constant and traditional disadvantage of Sony Ericcsons)

I had this phone about 2 years ago and I was very satisfied. Yes, still wonder about it's functional cut off. But if you hunger for MMS and Java (downloadable games) - just buy C60 - plus external camera compatibility. All the rest in C60 is the same.
If you want also calendar, organizer, voice dialing, email - buy M55. M55 is the best you can get for it's prise.
Shortly - you get pretty enough for the price.
Now about the battery - I would like to disagree with Geoff. It lasts pretty long:
- if I play the game/setup options for over 1 hour/day it lasts steadily for about 5 days !!;
- if I leave it "in peace" the battery STANDS OVER 7 DAYS, and often 8 !!!
About the # key - sometimes the keyboard unlocks in the pocket - well, but do not place the phone in tight jeans and keep the display/keyboard to the body.
About the WAP - I downloaded much pictures and ringtones (midi) - no problems setting them to a group.
And now about the game. I really loved this phone just because it's color 2D version of Stack Attack !!!
Now I have Siemens CX65 - it has the Stack Attack Advanced - the 3D color version. But I still feel great nostalgy about the 2D colored version - nothing is better! Trust me! As far as I know, c60 has it too.
Finally - I would not prefer Nokia 1100 to a60, but I'd rather get Siemens C60 or M55.
Good luck!

Hm... i don;t know about othe people, but I am satisfied with this phone... I have it for a year, and no problems ocured. The battery lasts 5-6 days if I don't use it very much (SMS from time to time), and 3-4 days if I play a little. It has the basics, but I really wanted a calendar :(. I will change my phone now because it's getting really old :). I have dropped it too many times in a year, but it doesn't have anything.

This phone is poor for some basic reasons. Its battery life is very poor and the keypad lock is completely ineffective due to it being the # key. It unlocks itself and sent itself 43 email a couple of days ago... ouch the cost! I would advise aagainst this one!

It is a great phone, but I sold mine and bought a Nokia 1100. I hope I made the right choise...The only problems that I have with the A60 is that it doesn't have MMS. You can basicaly download nothing with it. My Phonecode was blocked and I had to call Siemens. They wanted to charge me R75 to give me a new Phonecode. The sollution that I had, was to rather restore my Factory Settings. The only problem was that I couldn't use a phonecode anymore because it was blocked. The Siemens A60 is worth its price.

what i can say to this fone:
the phone is great but it lacks MMS...why didnt the siemens put MMS to it????its a colored phone with no use at all because it has no MMS...it will actually be a more competetive phone if it has a MMS....
since it the nokia dominates the cellphone market here in the philippines,try to build more shops in the phils., major cities like cebu or davao..and where can i download free polytones or pics...i really cant access to the WAP because the globe,smart and sun telecompanies doesnt have the GPRS settings of this phone...if you can satisfy my needs,feel free to email me at pobre_man@yahoo.com...thanks!
