I have been using S75 almost for 2 years. Siemens did not import this fone to HK so I needed to get it via China as a grey import (that means I do not have any after sales support). Apart from the UI is not as friendly as 65 series, it is a brilliant fone. No bug at all.
IMO this is the ultimate Siemens designed and Siemens branded fone. Am planning to buy another S75 as a backup.

I just want to correct one mistake : I used the S75 until Jan 2008 (not Jan 2007)
and add a comment about the music player : it is quite good with classical music (where we do not need heavy bass) compared with recent Nokia phones (even the N series).

I used a S75 phone for 2 years, from Feb 2006 to Jan 2007. This device was full of bugs but new firmware releases have corrected most of them since Dec 2005. You need Firmware 47, it corrects more than 80% of bugs. you can download it here: http://dl.free.fr/efqS9sfzt/S7...z_update.exe

S75's main shortcomings are :
- its keyboard : numeric buttons are awfully tiny and hard to press
- its e-mail client : 300KB limit; if you change the active account, the mail client download again all the headers (even those already downloaded); you cannot disable receipt acknowledge requested by incoming e-mails (even though you select the option)
- office applications (pdf, word and excel files readers) are too slow to be used frequently
- the web browser is quite slow (you would better use Google Mobile services to format Web pages), it does not take profit of EDGE connection
- poor picture quality and really bad video captures

S75 pros :
- many small features that make every day life easier such as automatic switch off at preset time, torch lamp using the flash LED, inbox grouping all the messages and alerts (missed calls, meetings) of the day
- numerous ways to customize the phone (more than with Nokia phones) : My Menu, any shortcut (menu entries as well as phone numbers) can be allocated to any numeric button, profile settings include screen light level, vibration types... and so forth
- useful extra applications : unit converter, date calculator, stopwatch, countdown (with cooking standard times :-)

Im'a using Siemens Phones since 2000. I had C35, C55, S55 and almost 2 years ago I have got S75. It was one of the first phones of this model... It's buggy... Not just buggy, but it's full of bugs! For instance: you call somebody, press red button and immediately press green button again (to call this person again), now you see a list of last calls without the latest and 1-2 seconds later you enjoy message "Database Error". Besides that it's too heavy (compared to C55 and S55), buttons are simply ugly - they are too small and too hard to press. So, I'm disappointed. After 5 years of really good experience with Siemens it was hard to accept that they have created such phone.

Never again Siemens. Never again BENQ.

I just got my S75 a few days and try to reach it out...

Firmware version : 31

Positive :
Great phone, Good management system
- Large call record informations
- Huge Contact storage ( I love it )
- Great Speaker sound
- Great functions
- Easy to use menu and usefully command

Negative :
- Too close buttons , buttons size too tiny.
Your hand may get ache.When you must use for a long period. ( I never feel like this with my old S25,C35,SL45i,ME45,M55 )
- Unsatisfied camera and ( I used to test Sony Ericsson K750i for while , K750 are great quality photos )
- Too light Bass when listening Mp3 with headset ( my Old SL45i and ME45+MP3 player headset are better quality sound )
- No number short key like my old x45 series that I can press a few button to access any command I want


Conclusion...

Siemens S75 are best for Works by their System design and you can relax with their multimedias support

You got more usefully functions that Others

I think the firmware is a beta version :-) The (Benq) Siemens closed its bussines and no one fixed the bugs. One of the most annoying features is "hear protection function", which mutes silent playback and makes it even more low level. If you are looking for a new phone, look for another one. Hardware is good, but the firmware is a crap.

i've been using this mobile since last year. even i had so many problems before, like sms bugging, internet problems, etc. but since i have upgraded my firmware to 47, believe me my phone has become faster and all the applications are working better than before. even the video recording time has also increased from 1:30 min to 16:30 min. Ever since the upgration of the firmware.....i am really satisfied with this phone and i think that i spend my money at the right place :D:D
