Siemens C35i - User Reviews

  • my first mobile phone

  • i'm here just to remind me, this was my cool dad's cellphone. miss him.

  • One of most famous cellphones in that age,it's picture was as an example of mobile phone in so many books and magazines. I am wondering why Siemens stopped producing cell phones!

  • I think this may have been my first phone. The first phone I really wanted was the Ericsson T-20S. (never would have remembered the name) I'm not even sure if this was my first phone. I watched too much TV back then and probably ruined my brain.

  • My first phone. I know I still have it. I didn't throw it away, I didn't give it to anybody. But I can't find it.

  • I have one of these phones but it's broken, I want it be fixed, can you help me? I'm from the Philippines.

  • Try German Ebay : Ebay.de , they still have batteries for sale for C35(i).

  • me too

  • It was my first cellphone,, it was given for me 5 years ago when i was in elementary school. But Now, i miss it. it had been lost somewhere. Hiks :(

  • Hi Lincon, Please send me a email. So that i can provide you the detaills. Email: [email protected] Regards, Vishal

  • Nice Info

  • (GSM Arena - I am just trying to guide Lincon - so that he can get the original battery. Please do not remove my posting - I do not intent to any commercial advertising.) Dear Lincon, I am so sorry - I did not check your post earlier. I got the original battery from ebay.com It costed my close to 13 Euros with shipping to INDIA. Regards, Vishal

  • My first cellphone. I used it till I lost it.

  • Dear Visal, Can you please tell me from where you got the original battery, I need one badly

  • Dear Visal, Can you please tell me from where you got the original battery, I need one badly

  • Can you believe guys - I am still using it. One of the best phones. Voice quality is very good. I have to keep almost 1 inch away from my ear. Recently i bought a original battery. The over all experience is good.

  • that was my first mob,he is still alive and in use....good as new

  • it was my very first mobile phone bought from Siemens Outlet Saddar Karachi Pakistan in mid 2002. I was very excited to have it. Voice reception remained marvelous over the span of about five years. The battery is totally consumed and unfortunately I am unable to find a new original one from anywhere. I am not in use of this set these days but I still love it and will never sell or give it to anyone in the world.

  • This was my first phone as well.I was very excited and i still love it.

  • It was my first phone, and I had it for quite a while. It was strong packed and very resistant to bump and falls, and it had decent durable batteries. Simple and easy for use, and it also had some options I cannot find on new phones, like discharging batteries and so. Used it for three years, when some problem with battery contacts occurred. Probably minor thing, but I've decided that time had come for new phone. In global, I really liked this phone.

  • This was my first mobile phone, bought in October 2001. I spent around Rs. 7500/- for this. That was an era of Nokia 3310. I had used that for almost two years, before it was pick-pocketed in 2003. NIMH battery did not last long, which I replaced later with a Li Ion. Even today, I miss my c35i. :)

  • This was my first phone, I still love this phone :-)

  • it is my first phone, i cant forget it. only battery has peoblem, otherwise phone was ok.

  • This phone was a lovely piece of my phone stream. I loved it so much that after I dropped this in water I bought another Siemens: the C60. I sometimes feel sorry why Siemens couldn't keep in competition in this market, I used to love thir phones... After years I found love in HTC Touch HD, but the time between C35 and Touch is gloomy gap... :)))))

  • Won this on EBay for less than �10, cheap but still more expensive than a Sony Ericsson J132 with Torch/FM Radio and colour screen. nonetheless, C35 is a classic and cannot wait to own it again!!

  • Any body can help find mechanic who can repair Preamp, While talking signal gets lost

  • Good man, this IS a classic, you are wise to like this over your HTC Touch HD. I own a Red Viewty and Samsung G800, and call me insane, I'd swap my 5MP capable G800 back for my old C35i. This was my first proper phone although it was my second phone back in 2000. Loved this phone and still do.

  • I bought it in the beginning of 2002. It still works fine. (only a battery change after 4 years.)I can send sms and also e-mail (via service provider)watch wap (of course an old version)and make ring tone. I have a htc touch hd at the moment. However I like Siemens C35i better.

  • My 1st phone in my life. I was so happy that time so that I spent many times, days and nights to play with it. Never forget such a lovely memories!

  • C35 was my first fone. it has a very very special memories in my heart. although battery is one of the worst, but still i like this fone for being so nice and sleek design phone

  • already many years i used...till nw its still ok. juz the battery gt problem. nw keep as collection!

  • my first ever phone i got it for passing my 11+ and i had it for years and loved every second

  • i rally like this phone, this was my first phone my freind gave me it, the phonw is brill i love it!

  • This My First Phone... I Like It.. Its Ever Fall Down More than 10 times.. but.. its still work.. Wonderfull...

  • C35i the first phone i used in my life. It was a gift for my brother from his company.Phone was good in his time. Now it is no working properly but it is with me.

  • To bad the WAP function is useless nowadays since the pages are way to big for the the phone memory :-(. Despite this stain, the phone is brilliant :-).

  • Back in the day it was either this or the Nokia 3310, I picked this one because the 3310s were way too common, the build quality excellent and up to german standards.This also had WAP over the 3310, something GSMarena has failed to mention as one of the features it had. Only problem was loading time of contacts look up everytime you switched the phone on but other than that, a worthy 3310 rival. This was defo the dark horse of the duo, the 3310 was overhyped in my opinion, was the IPhone of that generation, lol!

  • Cool sleek classic phone.. I just got it done to reuse.. fed up of using Hi tech phones.. for a change and memories to blush.. started using C35 the 1st phone I ever used..

  • My first phone too. Games are fine for me. User friendly I love this phone. Still working for 7 yerars

  • yeah...memories...my first mobile too It was great and It's still working!!!Great phone I still use it when I break my SEk700...man this phone is 9 years old and it's as new !! cool THIS is siemens not that stupid benq-siemens the old tough siemens...eh memories..

  • C35i was my first mobile phone, 14 phones later i still love it. was stolen by a babe in a club those were the days!!!

  • My first handphone. Sure bring back all the memories.

  • This is my first mobile. It was presented to me by my uncle. It has problems like mentioned by Mr. Alex and also it has no that much battery life. But I glad to say that it's design is very good.

  • I have a problem with my C35i: When i enter in menus it freezes. The only solution is to take out the battery an turn it back on. What is wrong wth him?

  • The second mobile phone I have ever had.Never gave me problems.I GIVE IT A 10 rating.

  • This was my first mobile phone.and it is the best phone i ever had.No other phones that i bought later could match up with its performance,battery life,n reception. I really miss C35i!!

  • I bought this phone when I went to Prague in 2001. Carried it to Malta and to China and now Tunisia. Let it sit in China and had to buy new battery when I came to Tunisia (had to go to Prague for it)...Great phone, doesn't need any frills. Perfect fit for hand, good buttons. Sorry I can't use it in the US.

  • This is an excellent mobile. I am using it since 8 years and still using without any problem in cell phone. I don't want to switch to any other phone, except it.

  • the best phone ever in its class. the style is great and although it has antenna but it is designed to look nice still. the duck vibration is nice too :) and the ring is loud. only 2 problems with that phone (in my opinion): -short battery life -low speaker's volume making it hard for u to hear the caller when in noisy place. but in general i regret i replaced it with A60.

  • Best Siemens phone, this is my first phone. There wasn't problem with it, everything works correcty after 5 years of use. I still use it, sometimes.

  • this was my first phone, it has poor reception, poor battery life, dull screen,....i had a bad experience with it till i switched to nokia!!! excellent phones they are!!! never gone back so siemens.

  • This was given to me as a xma pressie some years ago and agree with most of Raj's comments.Battery life was excellent BUT just recently upgraded sim card as had a network problem when in amsterdam now find that battery life since has been very poor. Maybe you should try and resolve this first before you add on extras that are superficial.

  • This has defenitley been the best phone I ever used. It has amazing battery life, games, wap 1.1, alarm, clock, and I never heard a moblie ring louder! It has everything in a mobile. Its sad they cut production, they shouldnt have. It was a best seller and the best at its time.

  • mostly it display phone disable on the LCD and battery empty at times,i think it should be solve .especially the present one am using.

  • The phone is generally good except for poor battery life and prone to network logging problem.

I am from the Philippines. Pls. help me!!!!!!!!

  • I had this phone for an year an 4 months and I am satisfied. My phone's battery is lasting for 3 days after a full recharge. For someone who wants a phone just to call and be called I think it's a verry good option. :)

  • Why is my C35i's standby time lasted only for 30 minutes?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

  • i want more information about c35i best regards

  • Perfect, ergonomic shape. It fits perfectly in the hand. Though I'm a bit clumsy, I never dropped it out of my hand. Too bad I can't say the same thing for its successor - C45.

  • I switched over from Nokia 3310. C35i has got excellent signal coverage and better voice quality but lacks in ringtones, and is not user friendly. The shape is definitely better than 3310. Battery is also good however the web browsing facilities / options are definitely not cool. Verdict: I will think twice about buying this set.

  • software 16-18 pro siemens C35,C35i

  • this is a good phone for a beginner in mobile communications, but as i'm a regular user, i feel frustrated by the battery which shuts down in a middle of a chat, by the weak software and the poor range of extra functions (ie. there's no download possible of ringtones, screens etc..) this phone, althought its neat design, has too many weak points. Go on Siemens, make things BETTER !!

  • saya sangat membutuhkannya

  • Why is it that the C35i is not internet enabled.

  • Tha best for my school work!Small,light,sexy!

  • I think the design is absolutely superb. Stand by time is poor and the menu is not userfriendly in comparisan to my philips ozeo or savvy. Soundquality is great and it's so light you don't even feel inside your pocket. Overall opinian is that i'm very satisfied with it and it has a good price/quality relation

  • I do enjoyed a year of Siemens C35i very much, altrough I have to say that the battery sucks. Overall it's a great phone, but the battery screws it's reputation. There's nothing more annoying than an out-falling phone in the middle of a chat. Despite this worse part it's way better than his big opponent, the Nokia 3310. I have an Ericsson T28s now, but I can tell you that I miss T9 Text Input very much. Bloody technics...

  • I have C35i But I can not enjoy using it because I can not send Logos or Ring tones from or to it also the batterty is so week and I faced Difficulties to open my closed phone code may the user know the (secret code )when he buy the phone ?? and may the user find original Battery ? I think that I can not say that siemens C35i Is Very good Forgive me

  • i put my

  • i think its a really good fone and it has some great features. the only problem is that unless u turn the screen illumination off the battery runs down really fast, and i hate the way when u send a txt it makes the same noise as when u receive one. why does it do that? its so annoying!!

  • I've had this phone for over a year. Whereas I feel that the software provided is good, I believe that this phone feels as though I've got a child's toy in my hand. I dislike the keypad... the black keys faided away in no time.

  • It is a great cell phone. I bought it a year ago, and if i would consider buying a new phone, I would still buy it.

  • I like the design and all the features, but battery life is very poor. It just shuts down in the middle of a phone call without warning.

  • The most important function of a phone is communication - it is here that my C35i failed terribly. Battery performance is also unsatisfactory. All the other great features it has become redundant in the absence of good reception & transmission. I hope Siemens is hearing! (I have earlier used S4 & various Ericsson, now planning to switch to Nokia 3310)

  • Hey folks ... This is a really good fone. I just exchanged my Siemens C28 for this one. Itz really nice, handy etc and Itz got a lot of features too. Could anybody possibly tell me if I can have an extended batteryand where too??

  • A very nice phone. Compared with the 3310 and 3210 (and even 3330) muche better! Has everything you need (well...except voicedial) but anyway - great phone

  • it's a good phone. good looking, small and easy to use.

  • great phone nothing like this, and tell me any thing in nokia 3310 you will find more in this phone c35

  • I had one C35 and Ithink that it's quite good mobile. One thing i didn't like is that it takes much time to send a message. There's a lot submitment buttons, when trying to send a message. Vibro also didn't work as properly as it should. All body of the phone could be made better.

  • A great phone, especially if u have just upgraded from a house-brick (like me). Very small, very easy to use, and loads of features. Can get better, but its very good at the price.

  • better than nokia 3310 & 3210 .because it has got more functions than these two.i first have nokia 3210 but now i have this in black its fantastic .. i recomend that if u gonna buy 3310 than this is more better and resonable.

  • Hi Folks, can anyone help me as to whether the c35i can get tunes similar to the nokia`s by means of a telephone call. cheers matt

  • its a gr8 fone with nice wap capability... only display area is a bit small.

  • Very light and fancy phone with good reception/transmission and clean audio. Batery autonomy too short , it lasts for max two days.

  • great phone, easy to use and great value.

  • this phone is really delicate. my first set had terrible reception problems and so I changed it for another piece. This time the phone would stop ringing all of a sudden. The battery life is also poor. In utter frustation I changed it for Nokia 3310. My view is that if you intend to use WAP then one can take this phone otherwise stick to its earlier model C25 which I used for long without any problem.

  • I used this phone as a makeshift arrangement since the Sl 45 was not available. I am surprised that this phone is a very powerful phone and has a lot of features. very very impressed and suiet sturdy chic.

  • da c35i is well wicked!! I upgraded to one from da ericsson t10 and it's much beta!! It's well light and well eazy 2 use. da intanets wicked 2!!

  • hallo schnuki hab dich lieb

  • would like to know if there is a program aveilable to change the loco on the phone

  • 10 marks out of 10

  • its my phone and iam in happines with it ..but..single on air ring tone is too little ...

  • Great Phone with lots of feature ...... you know what i exchanged it with my Nokia 3310 .... which was too flashy... c35i is the phone for executives....

  • Leuk als je hem gratis krijgt!!!

  • Apart from having the handset replaced 3 times because of malfunction,not a bad phone.But lets wait and see ha.

  • A good overall budget phone with loads of features. Vibration could do with a bit more power and SMS delivery notification could be better implemented. Design is very chic, lightwheight and compact. Wap is ok but not great. Overall ver good value for money.
