I like the compact and smart design. Very simple, stylish phone.. but.. two problems.
1)it sometimes shuts off for no apparent reason when I'm for ex. saving phone numbers.
2)I set the ringtone on highest volume and it's very loud. But when it rings (sandwich closed) it's like the speaker is covered and you barely can hear it ringing. (missed a lot of calls this way)

I have a Siemens AF51 ad I am very pleased of his performance and style. The batery lasts 2 days if u keep the GPRS activated and dinamic light set to wave/blink for any new action. Charge the battery with phone switched off for at least 2H. U will see the diference.

At this price you should expect a simple and functional phone but you'll get an complicated and stupid menu, weak battery, unstable software! We are waiting apologies Siemens!

The incoming sms notification sound is truly annoying. Can someone PLEASE, tell me how to shut it off without doing that for all rings and tones at the same time?

Bought this phone 2 months ago. Have been considerin sellin it from day two... Maybe it is pretty, copact n all, but as far as functionality and solidity go, it's a definite no-no! The menu is tacky n complicated, the ringtones suck big time n the wallpapers are horrid! The only nice feature is the LED light and maybe the design - sweet n smart. Don't get misled by its deceptive looks, get somethin more sturdy n user-friendly, like Nokia, for example :)

The operation system lacks basic functions like omitting the initial Aircraft Check proceedure or on/off audio music. I wanted a basic phone but would not recommend AF51.

Forgot to mention that the antenna is very weak, have to wander around trying to get signal when in my office, something I never did with my A55. The AF51 just can seem to get good signal once your inside a building.

Bought this phone last week for US$75.00. Not a great phone at all compared to my trusty Siemens A55!
Loved the A55, lasted me three years. Have had the AF51 for a week and: it keeps shutting down for no reason, battery lasts about 28 hours (thats on standby with no talking, just ten sms's). Apart from this, its an attracctive phone and fun to use. Just wish it were more reliable and the battery didnt die after such a short time even when I'm not really using the phone!

With 49 euro, what you expect from AF 51?. It's small... like the price. You need bluetooth, MP3 player, camera.... then you should buy Sony Ericsson W880i!

This phone is really good but lime most Siemens phones, the battery charge doesn't last. That's something that Siemens should really look at.

Design exactly what I have always been looking for BUT the operating program is a disaster. Phone shuts down arbitarily. Stalls after trying to enter or delete more than 6 entries. Battery life less than 5 hrs. Sent detailed letter of complaint to Siemens Thailand and Siemens Germany last year but NEVER received any form of response. This phone is definitely NOT a good choice.

According to functionality, I have really no complaints about it; however, the battery lasts about 24-36 hours only, nevermind if it stays in standby mode or not. Because of such a big fault from siemens, I just recommend it to anyone.
