This is an excellent phone. I got this from Dick Smith's in Australia for $129. The keyboard is great for typing txts, and the phone itself has lots of good features - even for non-business people like me :p
The only hiccup I've had is after buying a Force brand mobile phone case. The magnet clip seems to affect the software of the phone. As I put the phone in the case, the software will suddenly come out of keylock and open a new txt or something else; this only happens whenever the phone is near the magnet clip. Strange...

you can delete most applications by using the file browser found in the software you installed from the CD-Rom.
Also, you can choose to reinstall applications one by one with the phone manager program and accessing the respective folders, I have windows XP Home version by the way.
Also visit the customer care centre for more information, plus pdf manual, gee I sound like a call-centre operator. :-)
PS: I think the phone suffers from a screen freeze glitch, I am investigating this to resolve it myself, available option so far is to pull out the battery.

I like this phone, it has a USB cable plus software support from BENQ ttp://www.benqmobile.com/ the company that bought the handset manufacturing arm from Siemens. The software support is the best one because you can synchronise email addresses, phones, et cetera from you computer. Moving files in and out of the phone is not a problem. Benq has software support in the form of utility programs, activating new features and graphics for free download and installed with the USB cable's CD-Rom drivers.
This phone model was targeted to the corporate user market rather than the consumer one, hence no MP3 player or VGA/CIF cam. The phone can be interfaced to attach and send pics/sounds through MMS & surf the net.
The rotating keyboard is ideal for fast SMS/MMS-ing so much better than the conventional keypads. The phone can also act as an internet modem for the laptop, I am yet to test this feature though.
I gave the camera and mp3 player features a miss because I like a phone that will be reliable and not use its power to play MP3's or take pictures and then fail to power up when making calls, as it happened with the RAZR Motorola phone, besides the 3 Network has too many holes you won't believe it and I work in the middle of the Sydney CBD myself, I have to have a mobile that's reliable.

out of the 30MB of "memory" for the user, 22MB of this is set aside for black berry saved documents that you may recieve/send such as emails etc. it is empty space but u can't put any of your saved files in it. there is 8.25MB of memory for that...

The phone is pretty cool because no-one has it here in America, quite cheap and a blackberry comes with it. One has to know that the battery life on the phone is very bad, the phone can break very easily and besides its blackberry n keyboard, the phone doesnt have much to offer!!!!!

Im thinkin of getting this phone in Aus for $129 on Optus. Is the phone too big to carry around & is heavier than normal at 144g. It seems to be almost as big as a 3210. It seems like a great phone but its size is the only concern. Any thoughts from current users?

even if the phone doesnt have camera, the phone looks good. has some of the best features, has 2 way functions and a full size key board. Sounds like a good phone 2 me.

I bought this phone and absolutely love it. I wanted a blackberry for ages, but they were so cumbersome, Good one Siemens.

Hello, sk65 supports instant messeneging? I didn't see this feature anyware and it would be a shame because it has that nice qwerty keyboard only for sms and mails. Please share if you have any info regarding this topic.
