This phone is great! I got one for my birthday from my parents, and it looks so cool..smaller than i thought after people saying how brick-like it is. some kids came up and were so amazedby the flipping keyboard (whcih is really useful btw), and the screens pretty big too. the fact it doesnt have camera doesnt bother me, and for me the battery life is pretty good, ive had it oin for 3 days and its still pretty high! but sometimes (not very often) the phone randomly freezes and i hav figured the only way to fix it is to remove the battery...has anyone else had the same problem?

The Optus version (it's not locked to any network, despite what the sales people will tell you) is the SK6R Prosumer version; it comes with BlackBerry built in. You can't uninstall this application, so the quoted 32MB user storage is set at 8MB and you can't change it. Despite that, this is a great phone :)

Overall it is a good phone. The only problem is that it only shows 8 MB of space and I have read that it has 30 MB. Can someone explain why my phone is only showing 8MB of space. BTW it is possible to convert mp3 songs to AMR format which is playable on this phone.

This phone is great !
Reception is excellent. you can adjust font size to ultra large, good for long sighted people like me.
Value for money, but not very user friendly. Takes a while to get use to.

Just bought this phone, I know its nearly 2 years old !! but it really is a fantastic phone. It looks more class (bling bling) than any other phone apart from Vertu at a fraction of the cost.

Good phone Siemens

The processor and receiving the files through Bluetooth is slow comparing to any phone. Any ideas

Bought new, the box comes with a USB data cable, but the phone also has bluetooth so you can transfer data that way.

Great fone very cheap ($129 on optus compared 2 $800 outrite) 8/10

Menu/OS - great easy to nav
design- looks good mayb a bit thick
flip keyboard - very useful
screen -good colour screen and large
storage -reasonable
connectivity - great connectivity bluetooth infrared nd cums wit data cable
computer software - good
phone apps - great organiser and other features
battery - runs down easily but ok
it would b nice 2 hav a camera nd mp3 but its not tha biggest disaster. There is a way to put wav songs on read down. Overall great fone.

Got the new unlock GSM phone plus SIM card in Singapore for USD80 with a 2 years contract at USD17/month. It's really fantastics phone. Need to fine tune on the screen saver to save battery. Blueberry is too expensive in ASIA. Used email for the phone. Pay as you download.
Could not active the Chinese function?. Anyone could help?
