People! read the manual http://communications.siemens...._fug_NET.pdf and then you can talk about this phone's menu. Good phone! I bought it only after I knew everything about it. If you're not a phone gamer and you don't need a camera this is a very good choise.

@Norm:
For voice dialing:
1. open the addressbook (NOT phonebook) by pressing the 4-way key downwards (if your default book is the Phonebook you then have to press the left fast key once to switch to the addressbook)
2. select contact
3. press options
4. scroll down until "voice dialing" ...etc.
@C. Satterlee
If you can't change the left fast key this is likely to be due to your provider with whom you purchased the phone (T-mobile?). I can easily change the setting in mine by pressing the left fast key once shortly and then selecting "change". If you need some personalized fast keys you can also set functions for keys 2-9.
For details take a look in your manual or browse to siemens-mobile.com they probably have an online version for you.
Cheers TommyG.

I have been rather displeased with this phone. The left soft key can be accidentally reset once (by the phone itself) and cannot be reset to another function. I would not recommend buying this phone.

@Dodo,
I dont know what you specifically mean by HIFI - The phone supports 16 channel polyphonic ring tones, .wav and .srt files. If you purchase the data link cable you may be able to upload files to your phone from your PC. Alternatively, there are sites (which site is applicable in your case depends pretty much on your country of residence. - An example is www.gsmarena.com - yes, this is where you are right now) where you can download ring tones for a fee. If those sites dont list the CF62 - look for ring tones which are e.g. supported by the Siemens MC62 or C62.
If you mean music (e.g. .mp3) files, then you have purchased the wrong phone - sorry

Please, could anyone tell me where I could find some HIFI ringtones for this type of phone? Thank you in advance for your answer!

@Tony:
1. The volume control is easily accessible during a call by pressing the 4-way key upwards.
2. Ring tones can easily be
changed via the "Ring Tones" menue item (simply press "menue" and
select the icon with the bell (or press 6))
3. If you have probs
using the "desktop style menue" check whether your profile is set
to "Big letters" and if so deselect it (simply press "menue"-9-2,
scroll down and deselect "big lettters").
However, I am affraid that with the newer generation mobiles you
have to get used to "desktop style menues".
Siemens UI is clearly different from Nokias which again is different from Samsungs or Motorolas ... This, however, doesn't imply that it is less intuitive. If you switch to another producer you always have to
adjust! I personally rank Nokia's and Siemens UI equally (and both
are not on top!).

Tony , you forgot to mention about reception.
Reception on this phone is horrible
(I'm wondering what type of antenna is inside of this phone?)
Samsung Rules!

Well, this morning I got so sick of this stupid phone (can't even change the ring tone in the menue), that I decided to wash it with a warm water before I returned it to God Damned Staples store (in New York).
What a surprise happened after this experiment. This junk phone would turn on for few seconds only and then automatically would shut down. In addition, ones you put the battery in, eventhough the phone is turned off, it would start constant vibration
(very smart piece of junk phone).
Have fun people. Always wash your junk phone before returning it to the store.

I BOUGHT THIS PHONE 3 HOURS AGO!
TOO BAD I didn't read reviews of this phone first on GSMARENA.COM Horrible as a phone! (only great artistic design - but who needs this b.s.?)
PROS:
-Clear sound (that's all!)
CONS:
-horrible STN 65k Screen
-On top of horrible screen stupid desktop type of menu
-The menu is too complicated as well! (takes 4 to 5 enttries just to switch some very basic phone fetures. Also very hard to find something in this menu, because it is not organized properly ( Samsung and Nokia have the easiest menus.
-No volume control not only on the side of the phone but also imposible to find it in the menu!
CONCLUSION:
I have no slightest idea how brilliant people as Germans have created this phone model. Bad work-Siemens! Will never buy Siemens again, unless I can check the phone before buying! I hope the new Siemens phones have better screen and normal menu.

Own the CF62 (not CF62T !) now for 3 months.Overall I would rate it a good phone with an excellent price/performance ratio. However,this rating crucially depends on what you want to use your phone for. Sometimes the CF62 can be quite slow and it is definitely not made for gaming (loading games can take ages). The pros are: small size, good reception, holds connections better than others, excellent speaking quality, good (in this price category!) organizer and calendar functionality, dynamic memory of about 1.9MB, quick recharging, helpful 2nd display, pressing the * key longer allows to switch off all sounds or change to one beep as ring tone. The cons: slow with Java applc., horrible polyphonic ring tones (luckily it also offers three traditional ones) and ugly wallpapers, flat buttons, bad illumination of key pad, no keys on cover, different profiles cannot have different ring tones, changing profile needs too many menu steps, average battery life, sloppy cover at the back. I even found a “hidden” function in mine: via the voice command setting you can access the otherwise not available dictaphone (up to approx. 9 Min!) (however, there is a bug: If you try to delete a saved message on the dictaphone you have to confirm by pressing the On/Off button instead of “OK”) . Would recommend phone to someone who is looking for an affordable, small, light, reliable and basic clamshell in a stylish design.

Just bought it and am finding that it isn't too user friendly. Says it has voice activated functions, what? Besides recording there is nothing than you can do such a voice dial. I like the way the phone looks, but I am disappointed in the features and manual usability.
