Great phone. Very good sound quality, both for voice calls and Midi ringtones. Small size and very good design. Exceptionally long battery life when running with energy saving screen saver.

Drawbacks - weak reception and loss of signal where other phones still operates. Keys are low quality with tendency to become inoperable over time. It's not possible to save SMS in SIM card memory. Bad if you need to take SIM to other phone with your messages with it.

just replaced this one with a nokia6120.
had the s55 for about 5 years and was pretty tough. even threw it against a wall in anger (not at the phone) and it was still working issue free until i replaced it last month.
wasn't too huge a choice of ringtones but it does enough to get by. eventually the keys started falling out, but i think thats partly to do with the afformentioned anger issues.
peace

Workaholic. It has fallen to the ground several times. It has fallen to the toilet. And it is still working. The battery is good and everything is good.

It was and is a GREAT phone due to its unique features at the time it was produced;
I`v had it for 3 years and am crazy for it...i can`t still find a replacement for it!
I love its low tones cause it doean`t harm my ear and my concentration while doing sth,and using it is so simple,it is so practical!
The cover and the size is surprisingly fantastic and so fit!
It is so unique!

I've had one for nearly 2 years and there are so many things wrong with it:

- The sound alerts, eg for an SMS message received, can hardly be heard - I get jealous when I hear other phones give a healthy beep
- Sometimes it decides to vibrate but not ring
- Sometimes it decides to do neither when a call comes in
- I can hardly hear the caller
- The buttons drop off - bad luck if you're out and you didn't notice. I've lost 3
- You can't download any compatible games
- You can't enter new ringtones
- The manual is written by someone who doesn't speak English, making it incomprehensible (to me)
- The manual leaves out masses of things so it's a question of trial and error
- Internet and email connections - forget it
- You can't receive pictures

and lots more

I will NEVER EVER buy a Siemens phone again

Great phone. Had mine for 2 years and still can't find a replacement I'd prefer (although the Moto PEBL is tempting me).

Things that make me want to keep it for ever...
* Very small (but not so small you can't use it
* Very lightweight
* Nice rounded corners
... all that means you can fit it in your trouser pocket and sit down without crippling yourself!!!
* Nice easy-to-use menu
* Good predicative text
* Good business features

But it does have some down sides...
* Battery life is good... unless you turn Bluetooth on (then it last a day on standby if you are lucky!)
* Bluetooh has been a little tempremental when connecting to my car kit (Sony-Ericsson HCB300).
* Keyboard and buttons are not robust (I've had to replace them several times).


Cheers,
ColinU

Am about to replace this phone but here are my comments after several years' use for what it's worth.

Good points - compact, light weight, attractive, menus simple to use.

Bad points - buttons on the side get pressed by accident every time you pick it up, keys stick when trying to text, hard to hear caller even on max volume, poor reception in areas where other phones give good reception.

Does anyone know how much they are worth now?
I've had mine for 5-6 years, but i want an upgrade now. Its working fine but has two or three scratches on it but otherwise looks good.

Got one two years ago, only real problem i have with it is that there are simply TOO many functions on it.
Although the buttons tend to fall off like leaves of a tree in autumn(I fixed mine with a couple of drops of secondglue)and the extra camera tends to snaps pictures only to display blurry images on the screen, and one cannot really hear it when it goes off in your pocket, even when it is set on loudest.
But the battery lasts for ages without any need for recharging, something of a problem with all my previous siemens phones, and it can take quite a beating wihout acting funny in any way.
So if you are not looking for a phone that is pretty, but you are looking for a reliable phone with loads of extras, then definately don`t pass this one up.

Well, I've been using this phone for about 2.5 yeas now.. and to be honest It never went out of use... and still surprising me! if not facinated with hot topics (hi-res camras.. wave ringtones...) mean if we are talking about proffetional use of the phone, then it is very great and you will never need more cabapilities. all communications are available and very hard duty set. falled thousends of time on the floor and everything you need after that is just pick it up and continue the conversation..
result.
this set is very usful phone and friendly too.
