The phone also came in a special winter edition silver/pearl white colours - it also rocked a red backlight and red lit keypad keys (yes, entire key was lit not just the number markings). It really stood out in 2001/2002. If i remember correctly it had a stock box-stacking game installed - a feature favoured by one of my colleagues who used to drain my phone's battery playing it all the time.
It's a shame I sold it, I just hope someone else is happy with it now :P

Carried in your pocket, all screen scratches would smooth out (wasn't a feature but still!) - true story.
It was actually the toughest handset i ever owned. Using it as a soccer ball wouldn't harm it. I loved the plastic screw holding the battery cover.

This handset shows what German engineering means when it comes to cellphones.

It's everything-proof nature had a slight drawback though - the rubbery keys sometimes missed a stroke while texting but once you got familiar with the keybord the issue became non existent.

One handset I'll never forget!

Solid piece of electronics and plastic mixture. Very ergonomic menu and functions included. Every time i forgot how to use one or other function of the phone, and in no time i find it over. Engineers who made it, realy thinked about user. Real business class phone. Using as main mobile since 2002, only change battery every ~2-3years (made in China). Today I bought another siemens me45 "limited edition" (red - Vodefone), because originals screen stopped to function, only back lite is functional. I think i will able to fix that later, somehow. :)

Simply the best cellphone I have ever owned. Built like a tank. Battery that last eons. Strong antenna receive and transmit power. A true take it anywhere cellphone. Used my till 2006 and have to stop after that because I couldn't get the battery for it anymore.Now retired and kept inside its original box Too bad Siemens cellphone division fold and got sold to LG. Siemens ME45, IMHO the best cellphone ever, enough said

Super phone.
I use ME45 from 2004 to now (2010). (I lost 1-st ME45 in 2005 and buy 2-nd ME45).
Ideal design (for me), best keyboard, very stable firmware, very durable case.

Most reliable phone you would have ever owned...And such great technology for being launched in 2001. Very Very Durable....never lets you down...Wish all phones now days were made to this quality. Mine is still going now in 2010. Use it as a backup.
