It's a great mobilephone.
I used to use & still using it, it gives me the feeling that I have something special.
Although it's old, but still distinc.

I really don't like this phone. I lose calls all the time and it randomly turns off. I have had this phone for maybe three months and I am buying something else.

hi there am an ex cpw employee and this time last year this phone was on sale for 89.99. i purchased it to use as a second phone. Since then i have lent it to a lot of people and it still remains in my drawer and is a great phone. Altho the build quality isnt great by any means and the display is terrible it does what its ment to generally well. What we have to remember guys is that this was one of the first color screen phone and at the time all 4 years ago. it was a must have phone!

I have had my siemens for a long time, this is a very strong phone. This phone has been through alot with me, it fell in about 7 inches of water, i dropped it over a 100 times, i dropped it so hard once the screen even cracked and phone continues to work without any problems at all. I am ready to change and get an up to date cell, but I feel I will never find another quality phone like the siemens SL55 because I've been through several phones and this one has lasted the longest.

The worst phone I've ever had!! I've had it for only 10 months and I already feel like buying another phone. All of a sudden, the SMS messages can be erased, the phone turns itself off and you don't even realise... I don't recommend it =/

I have the SL55 it is ok! I believe it's for anyone including men, women, teenagers etc...

The colour screen isn’t the best and the camera is very poor...

My phone has a good signal I can hear very well and people on the other end say they can hear me fine!
If you are thinking of getting one just KEEP in mind that this Mobile is a little older so you can't expect to be as good as the more recent mobile phones of today...

But if your looking for a Mobile that just does what a mobile should like make and receive calls and send and receive text messages GET ONE... if you want something more recent or advanced go for the Samsung D500 great in all ways!! And it’s a slide phone as well!!!

But for me I love my SL55... I am a married woman with 2 small children I don’t some fancy dancing phone I only use my Mobile when needed… And I have a digital camera that is better than any mobile phone could have…

I've had the phone for almost two years now and I'm quite satisfied. As all phones it's not perfect - after a year or so two keys stopped reacting, so I had to take it to the service point to have it repaired. It tends to freeze for a minute when you close the slide while it's preforming an operation. Also you can't set up voice memos as ringtones nor can you send them via MMS/email. It's overall slow, the games tend to load a couple of minutes, it thinks a good few seconds before accessing the phone book etc. Also, after almost two years the display is losing colour and bleaking - it's become quite dark and contrastless and I predict that in two/three months it'll display no colours but black, white, blue and yellow.

Upsides? Well, it's plain sweet. ;)

Hi all

Can I update the firmware by the USB datacable? or only by the serial?? I've downloaded the firmware, but it only detects COM1 and COM2. My data-cable is set on COM5. How do update now??? Thanks for help.

Am a phone lover, had always been changing new phone once every 3-4 months but since purchasing this one in 2003 on my trip to HongKong, am still using it and it's been almost 2 years. Have not had any problems, so stylish, anyone who sees this phone had great compliments. Love it!!!Love it!!!Love it!!!

I bought this phone for my wife. It is a waste of money. Ringtones are very limited and volume is poor. Very disapointed..

It's a great phone other than the reception. The reception is the worst i've ever had. Wonder if there's anything that can help that.
