Siemens C65
Review
Phone
rating: 
The Siemens C65 is an entry-level camera phone
that retails for under £100. The phone is compact, lightweight
and very nicely styled. For the money you seem to get quite a lot
of features - camera, 65k colour display, voice recorder, handsfree
speaker, etc. However, look closer and you find that the phone is
not as good as it seems. Starting with the display, on closer inspection
we find that it's not a TFT screen, which means that it's hard to
read outdoors. The digital camera is just CIF resolution - that's
0.1 megapixels, whereas most entry-level camera phones have VGA
resolution nowadays (0.3 megapixels). The connectivity is infra-red
only, with no cable option for transferring photos to a computer.
Having said all that, the good points might just
outweigh the bad points, except that the reliability of the C65
is poor. Read the user reviews below for stories of how the C65
may freeze or switch itself off at random. It is possible that the
latest firmware upgrades will fix these problems, but in an entry-level
phone such problems should simply not be present, and it is not
acceptable for Siemens to release a phone knowing that its software
is buggy. The Siemens CX65 is a much
better phone all round and not much more expensive.
Features
of the Siemens C65 include:
- Display: CSTN, 65,536 colours, 130 x 130 pixels
- Integrated CIF digital camera (110k resolution)
- Polyphonic ringtones
- Digital voice recorder
- Messaging: SMS (with T9 support), MMS
- Java™ games
- Screensaver
- Connectivity: Infra-red
- Exchangeable covers
- Programmable softkeys
- Integrated handsfree speaker
- Organiser features: clock, date, alarm, stopwatch,
countdown timer, calculator, currency converter
- Phone book
- WAP, GPRS class 10
- Tri-band
- Vibration alert
- Size: 105 x 47 x 18 mm
- Weight: 86g
- Talktime: up to 300 minutes
- Battery standby: up to 250 hours

I bought the C65 on Jan 31/05. It was working ok for a few weeks,
then started shutting itself off. It got annoying and I went to
Siemens for a software upgrade to solve the 1st problem. Once upgraded,
the screen dimmed and ringging tone got very soft. I can't see the
menu. Went back for service and they said I have to wait for a new
motherboard. After 1 month, my new board arrived and the phone worked
fine for 13 days. On the 14th day, it completely power off itself!
Sent back to Siemens and they said the motherboard died. On July
21, 2005 I upgraded to a CX65. I am glade I did as the C65 have
given us nothing but trips to and fro the service shop. I love the
CX65 screen size, camera and video and will review it later in the
CX65 column if it does not have all the bugs C65 had. If you want
a good phone, pay a bit more the for CX65 instead of the entry level,
bugged C65.

The phone seemed to be OK at first, average camera, good menu navigation
and an affordable phone which has a colour screen. However, within
a short while of having this phone it started to turn off at random
times, or if i received a text message. This got worse and worse
until sometimes it wouldn't turn on. So i sent it to siemens for
repair - on its return it broke within a week. It is extremely unreliable
(whether the firmware is upgraded or not) and it is not worth buying
- don't let the cheap price trick you into buying this phone. Apart
from its looks and ergonomics it is truly awful. XXX

on a black fond,and so its easy readable in extremely luminous inviroments)battery
holds a lil bit over a day...my old 3510i had a better batery...although
the features were crappy.. software iz a lil buggy,sometimes it
turns itself off,especialy when i change themes..quite annoyng sometines
i should say but inspite of all drawbackz its a nice phone im not
sure if i supports data cable connection with a computer,some say
it does some it doesnt.SIEMENS says that the SW can b upgraded via

This phone is a real hot and cold phone. It has done all the things
that the other reviews have mentioned although not too reguarly.
One thing that happens to me every time I delete a message in either
my out or inbox is the "please wait" screen comes and stayes there,
very annoying. When I open up my inbox and press to scross down
all the messages move so you never know what your opening!! and
the last thing is the 9 key is very tempremental. The camera is
poor, people have to stay still for ever to get a good photo. The
organisor is very good, I also have an USB Infared thing that works
very well with the phone. There are also some good games out there
for it. All in all a poor phone that you get the impression was
rushed by Siemens and not worth buying in my opinion.

Niggling freezing bugs when starting up out-of-the-box, reminded
me of a Motorola T250 I had before (however they were really bad
for dying on you without explanations), but found instead of 'rushing'
the phone, what you need to do is treat with a little care and give
it time to boot up/register properly. The Organiser and addressbook
are top-notch, even a sync link to a 'big boy' like Outlook (via
an Exchange server or the like) seems possible. Didn't realise it
couldn't connect via a data link cable, that's a bit poor. Camera
is an add-on to me, if high-res pics are important than forget it,
but otherwise adequate. As a standalone product used in its primary
domain, as a phone/mobile messenger I think it's excellent.

says that it "sucks"? My phone is really great, my battery lifetime
is up to 4-5 days and I use it's functions every day. In a cheap
price you have everything:a really good camera, an IRDA, GPRS, MMS
and a lot of extras that you can't get in this price from a NOKIA
phone. At the same price you can by a 3100,2600. The conclusion

Very, very good. If only the MPM software from Siemens would correctly

But the phone itself is very good. Don't know how people complain
about batery life, mine is running for about 5 days while talking,
synchronizing, sending files via IrDA, etc. Excelent contacts with
good recognition of cards sent by SE P900 and Palm M150 (that's
what I tested). Excelent calendar application. Finally I will not
forget a birthday... :). The only inconvenience is the JogDial button.
My girfriend complains a lot about it... but hey, she has long nails

This phone is ugly. It looks like a fly. My friend has it and she
says it's ok. Except its screen is small and the camera is rubbish.
Also she gets teased and called the fly. If you buy this phone.
Make sure to give it a hug and tell it everything will be ok. Also
don't let anyone boss it around and call it the fly.

why are there so many people bashing this phone? If you didn't buy
it from the store or when you bought it from a 'friend', sure there
is a chance it will freeze. but if you bought it from the store
the chance it freezes or it does strange things is minimal. and
if it does weird go back, they'll fix it. for this money this is
one of best phones in its class. and some people bash its camera,
well if you want photos that look great on a computer screen, BUY
A DIGITAL CAMERA. for a cell phone, a camera is nothing more than
a gadget. so my conclusion: if you want a great allround phone with
a lot of extras, buy this one (from stores!!), its one of the best
in its price range

I have only had this phone for 3 months, everything started off
good except for the short battery life. But now I can not get to
the menu and must try to work the phone off the buttons that are
programmed, i can not change the ring tone,the background or anything
else that you must go to the menu for. I am very disappointed in
Siemens as this is the 2nd time one of their phones has stopped
working with in the year. But if this had not happened I would be
very happy with the phone.

c65 as replacement because i really like this phone alot. If i get
the same problems with the replacement phone, then i`m settling
for a nokia or any phone atall that the manufacturer will sell without
having major problems. Also, the back cover won`t come off to remove
my sim card. Has anyone else had this problem?

This set is alright. For moderate and low users it's good but for
heavy duty users it's impossible. It has very convenient and user
friendly handling. Good display, better camera, nice filesystem,
great organizer, 11mb file storage. It has many bad sides though....in
short they are: low battery life, camera malfunction(as a result
it crashes but upgrading the firmware will fix it), no photo phone
book, no voice dialling, low processing speed, no extendable memory,
and low scratch resistance. But finally i would like to say...this
is for the low budget phone moderate use with great options. wish
i could give it a 6 star!

The Mobile is good, attractive, but not very good selling in pakistan,
features are very good and display is very owsome, Camera is good,
but it only takes photos. Good memory size 10 mb is more enough
for downloading ringtones, wallpapers. But the major problem is
that the mobile has some firmware bugs. Due to this the battery
not last longer. After all the main good thing is that the mobile
is good looking and attractive, what every one wants, once again

another amazing feature on the phone is the fact that it can store

Additional, PS.... If the battery life turns out to be more than
48 hours and a few texts, and it doesnt suffer from the 6100's STUPID
and multiple firmware bugs - such as the infamous "i'll turn myself
off whenever i damn well please" problem, which would have cost
me almost as much as the siemens's value, and far more than the
nokia's to fix - then this will have been worth the purchase!

Care to quantify that review mr jackman? One might think you were
working for nokia. I just bought this to replace a misbehaving (and
never really all that great) nokia 6100. I looked at a few nokias
and motorolas as replacements also, but they quickly fell out of
the running in favour of the 3 S's - Siemens, Sagem, Sony.. on looks,
feel of keypad, usability, size of unit... and also price! (I was
buying to a budget) The motorolas mainly on price - the nokias mainly
on the other things. They ruled the root back in the days of the
30 series and i was proud to own a 3310 and then 3330, but they've
seriously gone a bit cuckoo of late. My first impressions are that
the Siemens is pretty fine, even after only having it a few hours
and playing around. The camera picture quality when you get down
to brass tacks is pretty basic, but then the camera to me is only
an "extra" - it's my first camera phone, and only because its getting
hard to find any decent mobile without one. Therefore the quality
isnt so much of an issue - the most troubling issue is that they
didn't care to include a quality setting that matches the screen
size exactly! (a wieerrrd 130x130) But, it seems to do quite well
in low light... The sound quality is pretty good, yes it does distort
at high volumes, but that's as loud as the 33's went and then some
more -- and far louder than the 6100 could ever hope to. The tones
are far more "detailed" than the nokia's, at TEN times the polyphonic
capability of a 6100, 6600, and many others, with clear and decent-sounding
(for a phone!) instruments. It also supports WAV ringtones and recording
your own! Plus voice memos, dictation, etc. Can't say much for the
call quality yet, but contacting customer services and checking
my account details was alright through it, and the call was easy
to carry out. Good, bright, clear colourful screen, in rich 16-bit
(65k) quality and decent resolution, very easy to use and navigate
(33s were good but the 61 was a NIGHTMARE) and above all VERY responsive,
almost like an old ultra-basic model (unlike the 66!). The only
delays come when you ask it to do something complex, like change
around the graphical theme or open a large program/file, and they're
not *too* excessive. It comes with a wealth of software and media
built in - lots of MMS and other pictures, some themes, many many
ringtones of several flavours (poly, trutone, mono, wav..), and
quite a few games and programs (including the much-maligned photo
editor, which apart from its slowness, i think is fantastic.. for
an £80 phone anyway, when a 6100 is still £60! Plus, an extensive
organiser suite) The menus are beautifully laid out and very intuitive
- some time has been put in to getting it RIGHT... much like 33's
benefitted from, and 60-series havent :( And best of all, it's got
a surprising amount of memory - they were saying in the shop that
it had 3mb, which was more than enough for me (similar to a 6610..
the 6100 only having a TINY 600kb).. in actualfact, as supplied
it has a good 6mb free out of the total space - same as it's more
expensive CX65 cousin - and i could probably find at least a meg
of stuff from the pre-installed bumf that i'm never going to use
which can be deleted... thats a lot of photos, even in high res
(or tones, programs, etc).. Fantastic! (Needless to say it trumps
the 33's 90-entry phonebook by miles, too...) The unit itself could
be better, but it's the same size as and only a little thicker than
the 6100 (possibly a shade smaller than a 6610, 3510, etc) which
is easily good enough, and though it's very light and a bit flimsy-feeling
from overuse of plastic and air, everything has a quite good, positive
feel to it. The keypad feels just great... ;) Now if only it had
been half the price it would have turned my whole day around from
rubbish to brilliant. As it is, it makes it just about good enough.
