I have entered an incorrect security code and know my phone is disabled and it is requesting for a phonecode.
What should I do in this regard.

A fone full of annoyances. If you are used to Siemens, you are perhaps used to this shit and think S55 is better. For users of Nokia or Sony, the S55 is just trouble. The manual is a joke, just shows the menu entries and nothing more. Setting profiles and ringtones is a nightmare! You can set a ringtone for the phone, then for the profiles, then for caller groups... Which ringtone will you expect to hear?!? The first thing you have to do when you get a S55 is start downloading software updates and some ringtones that won't make people laugh at you. And some less ugly color schemes. And backgrounds. Then read all of these unofficial forums with secret tricks to remove operator logo, animations and all that ugly shit. If you're 12 years old and from southeast asia, go and buy it. Everyone else, stay away. The screen has only 256 colors and the resolution is terrible! Try the screen test and look at the zigzag/staircase diagonal lines!! And how about the red/blue/green tests! If those are the primary colors, no wonder the pictures look so weird.

ES you're talking bullshit
Sound quality is simply top! On the loudest level it might be too quiet on some locations, but you can simply switch to handsfree and hold that close to your ear. Do not push it against your ear (it could make you deaf!).
Battery live is outstanding.
On very light use my battery lasts more than a week with ease
On heavy use 4 days.
Don't understand why the display is hard to read, maybe in direct sunlight...
Keyboard might be a bit to small for some. Never had any problems with it, I have big hands!
The softkeys are as logic as can be... That's the big advantage of Siemens phones. The function of the softkeys vary, depending on the function you are using. It takes some time and intelligence to get used to it. But after a while it becomes very logical to work with. It also makes working with the phone very fast. Most people simply don't get it. They are used to 'Nokia-way' of walking through the phone. You know up is always up, down is always down, cancel is always cancel... = very slow way to get done what you want.
Reception is very good! On some locations where others have no reception at all this phone still gives 1 block.
IRDA worked without a single problem. When i bought my notebook I enabled irda on my phone, put it next to my notebook and i could transfer files within a second....
For software: look around on the web, the latest version of the software is version 91. Not very logical numbering, but it's the latest.
Adressbook cannot be sorted using the firstname, if you want that simply swith firstname and surname when entering the contacts.
Problem solved....

The S55 has a very good looking design, so if you want to look cool at the café or bar, it works well. But if you want a phone to actually use, look somewhere else.
The sound quality is terrible, both to the user and the recepiant. Battery life sucks, semi-active users need to recharge at least once a day. Display is har to read. Keyboard is small and uncomfortable (at least to a man). The software is very little intuitive and the use of the softkeys are inconsequent. Irda hardly works. Even with 100% reception, calls are often not received but routed directly to voice mail.
Also, the Siemens mobile web is poorly updated and organized. E.g. my phone has version 20 of the firmware. Siemens offers version 16 for download(!?). I was hoping for a newer version to fix some of the firmware glitches.
And can someone please tell me how to sort my address book by first name instead of sirname?

This is a great one from Siemens!!! I've use this one for about 1 year. Everything is doing great, although it has only 256 colors, it doensn't matter for me :) One thing that I regreted is, the connectivity. This one has problem in connecting to a PDA. It's IrDA is not quite generic, and you need to install its modem driver when you want to connect it as a dial-up modem on your computer. I don't quite like this way. Besides that, its PC Suite is easy to crash with other synchronising programs installed in the computer. However, other than that, this phone is a great phone. For me myself I can give this phone a score about 7.5/10.

i used to use S55 but i have a trouble that my phone was phonecode locked, can you help me?
- Morter !
Buy M55 if want to buy this phone. buy a data cable along with M55 instead of spending higher amount on this phone. there will be no need of an IR than.
M55 has better features and larger memory than it except the bluetooth.
