This phone is amazing. I've had it for three years and even when my friends have got bluetooth and cameras on their phone, I can't bring myself to get a new one. It's been dropped loads and it has survived!

I've had one for 3 years but it got stolen 2 days ago. Siemens mobile doesn't exist anymore so I bought a Samsung. After a day I feel like throwing it against the wall! Went on Ebay and bought me a new Siemens A65. Best phone ever made in my opinion. User friendly interface, you can drop it as hard as you can, it just keeps on working!

I use this phone at the moment and I find it to be as has been mentioned, a good basic phone. I've had it almost two years and it still works. But there are downsides:

In my case the phone is quite small and falls out of my pocket a lot which often results in the cover and battery flying off in all directions and under things.
The buttons take a long time to respond to being pressed which means I have to wait a long time for it to turn on or off, to get into menus or to type a text. The battery doesn't seem to last as long as it used to, maybe a little over a day on average.
The ringtones are poor and there are three pretty average wallpapers (although I do prefer the sleeping Mexican wallpaper)

A good phone if you aren't interested in technology and want something very basic.

Best basic phone ever made. Had it over 2 years and counting, never ever crashed or faltered once. Dropped it a million times and the charge lasts for days and days. They don't make them like this anymore! I'll be using this until it finally wears out, I'll bet that's a few years away yet.

Yes This is indeed a very nice phone. I must have dropped it countless no of times in the past 3 years I am using this. Yet its still so new & there was never any damage. I really love my phone.

I have just flicked through the comments and I cannot believe some clever person has said that this phone "looks unreliable".

I have had my A65 for 3 or 4 years and abused it terribly - it lives in my pocket with the car and house keys. I have dropped it for a passtime - I even threw it to a passing yacht in a race. The other sailor missed it and it 'exploded' into about 4 pieces on deck. He put it together and asked me where he could get a phone like this.

I have just replaced it as it is now so scratched-up (keys) but I am really attached to this phone. Plain (although handsome), low-tech (if any mobile could be), no camers - sure, but PLEASE not unreliable.

I contemplated buying a new one to replace old one, but I need a change. I will probably regret it.

Siemens may already be obsolete, but i've had this phone for 3 years now and i've probably dropped it hundred times. yet, i still got no problem with it! a very basic phone and once you've got the hang of the texting features, it's a really comfortable phone to type messages in. Wish other more popular brands of today follow suit and produce durable phones like this.
