Good: Screen

Bad: Keyboard

Comment: I quite liked this phone, but after 2 months of trying to get an in-car charger, I was finally told that there isn't one available and nor is there likely to be one as Siemens are no longer going to do mobile phones!
I was initially told the charger would be available 2 weeks after I bought the phone in August - as this has not happened, I've just taken it back and exchanged it for a Samsung.

Good: The look

Bad: Everything else

Comment: This is my 3rd phone whether it's been replaced or repaired and each time it has came back with the same fault, the look of the phone however is fine! Otherwise it freezes, turns on and off by itself and slows down dramatically! The plastic casing chips and ruins the whole look, the battery power lasts a day and on standby an extra half a day! Siemens need to concentrate on making phones that look and feel better and are nice to use, that don' fault after a couple of days of use!
Thanks for hearing my view on this phone, I am annoyed that I haven't had any other help, no refund or exchange this time round and once this phone is no longer in use I will not be going back to a Siemens phone again!

Good: The keypad, nothing to say what network your on

Bad: Nothing really

Comment: Now comes with headset & data cable. Cracking phone. Synch's well with windows.

Good: the look of the phone

Bad: it doesn't work

Comment: This phone doesn't seem to have been tested properly befor being launched. And the customer service team at Ben Q Siemens seem to have little knowlege of their own product.
