I've been using this phone 6 months now. Absolutely no problems to report. No stalls or other firmware bugs at all. Everything works brilliantly and as it should. Yes, it's really just an updated CF62, which is exactly what I wanted. It has a solid feel to it and a unique design. Everybody notices the glowing blue LED, it's very pimp. It's a pleasure to use.

Great design but zero minus for performance. System shuts down without warning and stalls at least once every 3 days. Operating program is very faulty. Took to Siemens here in Thailand for servicing but afterwards SAME problems kept occuring. Can not believe that a quality name like Siemens would produce a high quality designed mobile and then install a faulty operating system. Yes, it is a cheap phone but Siemens forgot to warn that cheap also means low quality performance. DEFINITELY NOT RECOMMENDED

mmm at the beginning I was crazy for having one.. but when I tryed it on the store i was very dissapointed.

it has a VERY low interface and lacks of irda. very poor in functions... very boring. u cant use the same usb cable of the other siemens on this one, so u cant upload ringtones and stuff...
i hope siemens relase a AF51 version with the c65's interface (a CF51 maybe ) lol

I love this phone. The design is very wonderful, price of this phone is very cheap. The screen is good, the battery isn't bad. No Mp3 and Irda - what a pity!

Had it for 1 hour so I didn't really test it thoroughly. Although I do love the design (and that blue light surrounding the exterior of the phone when a call or a text message is recieved, is amazing, awesome really) the screen display is not too good, the colors are limited, the menu looks a bit cheap (which is unerstandable for an A series and for the price which is not at all high), if you don't mind these kind of things and just want it simple then I guess the phone will be perfect for you. if on the other hand you do mind about screen display and all you might want to ask to turn it on and play around with the menus and feautures a bit, at the shop before you buy it. That would've saved me a trip home and then back to the shop had i tried it at the shop I wouldnt've bought it, I eneded up exchanging it for samsung x160. Again: if you are not too bothered with things like screen display appearance, the phone is very good

Great looking design. Small and compact. BUT you can not change the installed screen saver and limited number of ring tones. Worst part is that the operating program stalls at least every other day - only solution is to restart the phone. Very surprise that Siemens would sell such an unstable model. NOT recommended.

I have had this phone (CX65)for 18 months now. I am going to change it for a Siemens AF51. Reasons? The CX65 is too big, has a big display which I do never use, has a camera which I do never use (what do you do with the pictures aniway? you have to buy a USB cable to transfer them to your computer, and then you realize that they are low quality pictures which can not compare with the pictures of a digital camera.. same for the videoclips). It is not at all good looking.

Why do I choose AF51? It SMALL, good looking, and cheap... (you can have it for 49 euros). It's a classical phone, with no features. Features where invented to make you pay a lot of money for things you don't need. A phone is a phone, to talk with it. żDo you really go to Internet with your phone? It's expensive, slow... A computer does that much better.
This is my opinion. What do you think?

I have this phone in my posession for a couple of weeks now, and I don't really have any complaints.
If you want a phone with a lot of features, you shouldn't buy the Siemens AF51, but if you're into a small simple phone with a special design, this phone is recommendable.
As already said above, this phone doesn't has many features. You can call and send SMS messages with it ofcourse, and also MMS. Further it has some nice organiser functions and a handy unit converter, but that's about it.
This is a nice phone, is my experience so far. The only disadvantage I could come up with at the moment is that when you are recharging the battery, the external display stays dark, so you hardly can't see how far along the battery is at recharging.
