Siemens C60 - User Reviews

  • Tive um

  • i grew up with nokia phons and i am a collector. So yesterday i was at a yard sale and i bought the phone for 5 DOLLARS!!!!! its kinda hard to use since the phone is slower than nokia and controls are reversed (whats supposed to be left is on the right etc.) but still it makes a very fun phone to have.

  • My first colour lcd phone, used it everyday from 2004 to 2010 when I was forced to use a Sony Ericsson by my boss. Very reliable phone.

  • i loved this mobile. Very reliable from 2003 to 2012!. never got warm, original battery. Stop working suddenly, the screen blurred and I could not turn it on again.

  • I still use my, with originalbatery as an reserve and alarmclock. Fantastic!

  • R.I.P trusty C60. 2005 - 2013. 8 years of reliable service. Killed by accidental immersion in ocean water.

  • I still have this phone with the original battery. It's a trusted friend, and everything stille works as originally intended.

  • I have a phone from Denmark - will give it someone in Cuba and want to download English and Spanish manual where do I find the PDF file? anyone who can help me with the link?

  • can someone help me i dont know how to turn on vibration on this phone

  • This phone have camera,but attached camera!!!For:GSMArena

  • Good, light-weight little phone, replaced the C60 shell, buttons and battery from a broken A60 and passed it on to my son..

  • Have had it for more than 5-6 years and worked just fine.Since recently took it too beach (silly me) :( Now i have to reacharge like every 2days.

  • I have this phone from 2004 and it is still my friend. Life battery is about 3-4 days, sound is great, typing sms is quite simple. Just amazing! The solution with detachable camera is out of date but I'm not concerned about.

  • everything is perfect, except small screen :D

  • This phone is pure perfection!!!!!!!!! I've managed to set him on fire, smash into the wall, the dog bite it twice, I flushed him down the toilet and it worked better than ever before!!!! After it, I had four other phones that all broke down and I always returned to my C60!!!! Respect!

  • The best phone i have this phone 5 years and working like new !!!

  • I just wanted to say that the internot on my c60 works ok. it's just kinda slow(i dont know it's because of c60's slow cpu [or something like that] or because of connection) but anyways i like this phone

  • its a gud phone but da internet on it does not work at all.i hve it 4 4 yrs now. but i hve 2 admit its a really loyal n honest phone

  • It's a goodie...

  • I bought this mobile phone two yoars ago!!!

  • good phone mine is 3 yrs old and always works well.i need to get a new case for it but it has taken loads of abuse.i enjoy stack attack on it and the loud speaker works very well not the best looking phone but who cares if i want to use the internet ill go home. phones are for comms not internet.c60 good job.

  • I love him !!!!!!!!!!!! It was my first mobile !!!!!!!!!!!! Is incredible !!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • It's OK but i want something better with more functions in it.

  • One of the worst phones I've ever had the displesure of owning. Here's the list of faults I've come across: - Very, very poor resolution on photos taken with the attachable camera. - The camera doesn't fit into the phone very well. You have to hold it in at exactly the right angle otherwise it won't work. - The phone is generally slow and laggish in every way. Menu navigation, number dialling, game playing/loading. - It randomly changes the ringtone from the user set one to some completely random ringtone that isn't even in the ringtone list. - The silent alert vibrator has slowly been breaking down ever since I got this phone. At first it would just get louder and make the phone shake violently, then it got to a period where it would literally shock me like a miniture taser, and then finally it's stopped working all together. - The games are slow, boring, tedious and there doesn't seem to be any way of getting any new ones. (Internet? Good luck) - The battery level isn't a good indication of the actual energy level (it's not even remotely close). - The battery stops working efficiently a couple months after purchase. Sometimes it'll run 3 days straight in stand-by mode without a recharge and others just under an hour. - Texting is too slow and the T9 dictionary is completely stupid. It has 'awa', 'cyc', 'cyb' and 'cza' before 'cya'. - The internet browsing on the phone is a hundred times slower than dial-up and in the event that you can actually get anywhere you find yourself being sent around in circles while having to pay for it. - The back of the phone continuously falls off (I've only ever dropped it twice, and it was less than 50cm onto a soft bed). - Dust always manages to find it's way into the phone and onto the screen via the hole at the top of the phone for the speaker. - I live in Australia and have never been able to find ANY accessories for this phone. Not even a different colour face plate. My mum has the same phone and it has all the same problems so this is not a once off bugged phone. We also bought them from the Telstra shop in Australia so they are defintely not knock-offs. I discourage anyone and everyone never to buy this phone. There are much better phones out there for much lower prices.

  • Texting messages is not so fast because of going back and forth to comand buttons. Please improve on that

  • this fone is my first fone and i haven't had a lot of problems with it. Just that my tune when somebody calls me changes every day! please tell me how to make so it doesn't change the tune!

  • This is an horrible phone, wap isn`t working right, camera isn`t good at all , no image clarity, annyway, don`t buy such an phone!

  • This phone is crap, have used it and regret it an advice please dont ever buy it anyways i feel seimens should make only apliances like washing machines and microwave and NOT HORRIBLE MOBILE PHONES.

  • i have just bought this fone i hope it will serve me 4 some time.i will like to get the camera with it how could i purchase this.

  • Its really crap i had for 8 mnths and it has slow text and crap java! I regret it!!! :(

  • I agree with comments of this phone. It isn't very good & it is very slow! I have it for 1.2years & i am dissapointed of him. I had a choise behind this phone & NOKIA 3310. I've chosen this phone. But now i am regret. So i have one thing to say: DON'T EVER FOREVER BUY IT, even else if it would be only phone in the world!:)

  • I had this phone close to 2 years already. I have to agree with the comments about it's build quality. This phone is not meant to take abuse. (my back panel fell apart after a few drops) Pro: price vs feature (2 years ago, where can you get a GPRS, MMS, Java, Color phone for around USD 120) Cons: build quality (but to be fair i subjected it to more than reasonable amount of abuse) lag in the response (if you dial too fast you are going to end up dialing the wrong number) ringtone /alarm volume/ vibration ... too soft for me I don't regret my purchase, It has served me well for 2 years already, but i am definately thinking twice about getting another siemens to replace this phone when it is time to change it

  • I've had this phone since Jan 04. I'm not a fussy person, but this phone has given me loads of problems: 1) if I keep it in my bag for a few hours it switches itself off. 2) the ring tone has a habit of switching itself off at will. I have missed calls due to this. 3) the games don't always download, I get "error" messages 3 out of 10 times. 4) the "buzz" from the games switches itself on and off at random! 5) I have to choose my wallpaper display twice each time I change it, as the first time I do it it doesn't appear on the screen! 6) the LCD display has gone darker over the 18 months I've had the phone. 7) the ringtones are not very nice - the sound is tinny and annoying. 8) the battery cover fell off 4 months after I got the phone; it's now sellotaped on. 9) the battery never lasts more than 1 day. I keep the phone charged overnight each night, otherwise I have a dead phone the next day. 10) it always manages to find the "internet" connection when it's been left in my bag for any length of time, I've been charged for connections I never intended to make! In short, if you're after a basic first phone, this is okay. But there are so many beautiful, new models out there, with added displays and other dinky features, don't waste your money on this one. I'm getting a Sony Ericsson K300i next!

  • This is a great phone for its price, had it for about a year but now i got samsung e630. i had 135 ringtones that i downloaded with gprs, you got to have good wap sites. you can't really find games for this mobile and it seems to turn off on its own because the battery is loose so i ahd to do a piece of paper so it isn't loose, but overall a good mobile.

  • Positive: Good battery duration, many languages. Great screen for its price. Rock-solid stability. Negative: Doesn't have reminder list, despite many websites claim that it has :( so if I had known this i wouldn't buy it. It is also a bit slow to react.

  • well...im chilean..this cellphone is incredible....but..i can`t buy ringtones and nothing..it`s a great problem..

  • I have this phone and i like it,but its one small bad thing that it is a bit slow, but not expensyve :)

  • dont buy it...

  • its a cool looking modern futuristic phone....got one of this cuites.....its got MMs....colour screen etc.....playing my library of handphone games on it.....super cool....all 3G phones should look like this....very sporty.....i woldnt sell it off the world, im gonna keep it like my precious......the industrial/product designer did a good job....

  • I thynk is a very good phone, i play footbal, billiard and basketball with him! It`s very resistent, but works slow(like all the siemens mobile).

  • I love it. I think it's so easy to handle it. It has a very extended dictionary even in my language: spanish. I'm from Venezuela and i really enjoy the internet on my C60. I can load many ringtones and logos and i like so much stack attack. It's fancy desing get my friends atention. The only thing that i don't like is that it don't have some functions that c35 has. But generally it's very great this phone.

  • DON'T BUY IT!!! it has only one and half year of life, then it broke down and it is unreparale.

  • Pretty good! That's great and cheap! I've never had any problem with my c60. It works nice here in Brazil... GPRS works nice too... and I have more than 100 ringtones, some java games and loads os pics. I just don't like cuz it's a little bit slow when u want to see c pic or open a msg

  • someone gave this on my 21st bday!! and I cant hardly understand why he gave me this rather than a discman. It's broken already, but still Im using it.. for some reasons though. But I do quite satisfy with the gprs, but the color range: worst!

  • All I can say is DONT BUY IT!!! Its the worst phone ever! I too have tried a few times to download ringtones/graphics only to be told there was a GPRS failure - but still got charged??? Also features are terrible, there's no Calendar/ organiser/ reminder, the built in hands free only works ocassionally (half the time people can't hear you). Plus ive only had it 8months and it has started turning itself off and putting itself on silent, making me miss lots of calls. Overall, worst purchase of my life. **DONT BUY IT**

  • ja is a grea phone i like this phone i have 95 ringtones on it Stephanie if you want to recrde something use new mms insert sound and new record you record 1,min and 12 sec

  • I regret ever buying this phone, I hate it.

  • All I can say is I'm 15 and as a teenager i was looking for a cool and cheap mobile. Well I bought siemens c60 and you know what? I regret it! I didn't want camera so no problem there but I would have liked it if there ere some more ringtones. And the picture....what picture? You can hardly see anything!!!!! So my opinion is that if you're going to buy this or as a present for someone else make sure that that someone has a very good eyesight....so my last words are THINK IT OVER !!!

  • Well, overall it's not so bad. I mean u got all d basic uses & @ least they're ok...but it has such a limited number of ringtones. If you can record uslef on it can someone tell me how? Urgently!

  • A crap phone no doubt about it - not durable, poor sound, hasn't lasted a year

  • Hi I bought a C60 with great expectations, what a fool. 14 months after purchasing, the phone died with a component failure, I used the phone on average 3 times a week. Call duration max 4 mins. Not exactly over use, the phone wasn't mistreated or submerged in liquid. No, clearly Siemens use substandard(cheap) components and don't care for customer support. Having being told to buy another phone, it's out of warranty. Obviously I need to buy another phone, this time it won't be a Siemens product and I would never recommend them. Should have stuck with Nokia. Lesson here, Siemens = Unreliable products, bad customer support and the best reason to buy Nokia Products

  • Hi, I purchased a Siemens C60 a year back. I had problems with the dim display. The phone was given for repair 3 times. The phone never came back to me even after 45 days. The other two times it took 15 days to rectify the problem. The service dealer complains that the Siemens has not provided the necessary spares. Anybody buying a Siemens mobile in Bangalore, please consider their service too.

  • I cant receive ringtones that i sent to my phone and that i was charged for. it has something to do wtith GPRS.

  • Indeed, I'm the greed!!111!

  • dear sir I have a phone of siemens C60.I want to download new melodies and wallpaper to my phone,from internet.but I donot know.how Ican download. I will be happy if you help me.

  • crap fone!! don't buy. BAD. easily borcken, bad buttons, bad screen and all bad. wish i never got it.

  • i droped it once and now it switches itself off all the time... its crap!

  • This phone is a piece of crap that will break after 2 months. The batteries suck, the speaker sucks, the display sucks and you can't even turn it on for more then 10 mins before it turns itself off. DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!!!!

  • great phone like the buttons except the select is on the wrong side cause i r used 2 a nokia

  • I have C-60 since last 8 months... Overall its a good phone if we compare it with the other phones of the same price, but there are many deficiencies in the phone e.g the buttons are too hard to use and are tension giving, the display just disappesrs if u see it in the sunlight, No reminder facility, slow processer ( i mean it responds very slow ), there is no time display with the dilled calls and what else.. yeh the best thing is that its userfriendly if u see the given functions.. I have it since 8 months but not like it but still keeping it cause its not giving me any reception problem and texting is quiet eazy...

  • display suck bigtime!!!too small...you can't understand anyting..and the quality of the picture sucks..i can draw better...boo siemens

  • only 3 months and the speaker is broken! now when the phone ring i listen music+scrach and during the coversation the voice is very low. Is on warranty but i think go in the trash...........:-(

  • I had a C60 until yesterday.I had to sell it.Needed money to buy 6100. ;) & the phone is bad!!!didn't liked it! But I had to live with it, cause I've received it for my birthday! Life sucks.

  • it is strong u good network but low screen quality u specially when there is light

  • hi again... I forgot to tell U. Dialed numbers can not be associated with the hour. U can not verrify the time U called someone. sometimes this is important...not nice,...annoying.

  • hi there... Siemens C 60 has no "reminder list". That's why it sucks. Even Nokia 3310, one of the oldest models has a reminder list. How is it possible?

  • Does this phone at all have a camera? Im just about 2 buy it and thought about asking some one first is this a good phone?

  • display sucks i regret buying this stupid phone!!!

  • The C60 has voice recording and WAV-ringtones (from FW25->).

  • how do u install extra colours,meomery,ect. in the manual it says thay some of them can do buddust year and my foneisnt some of them that annoys me ,not cos im buddust,bu5t because im bored this is a great fone

  • Stop your complaining. It's a good phone. If you're whining about the features it's lacking why did you buy it in the first place. Only you are to blame. If you didn't do any research before purchasing a phone then you are at fault and you can give the phones to me if you don't like it. Go out and buy your Nokia phones which cost double the price and suck.

  • i dont really have much to say but its just that i cant explore my phone coz the maunal is not in the english lanuage so i cant appreciate the features.

  • how do u record sounds onto it?and where are these javo organisers

  • c60 is good phone , you could record music and other sounds, have a photo editor,super games,super ringtones,i have a c60 and i'am proud

  • Nice phone , really wish i could one .is it possible to get a free C60.....

  • I can't believe how many people tink this phone is shit!!! I don't know why actually. I mean... yes it doesn't have an organizer, but there are java organisers for u to install. Games u can find plenty on the net if u don't look only at english sites... there are mostly spanish and russian sites with these kind of programs for the C60. And u can modd it tot your heart's desire. I managed to install different colors on it, got a new firmware... I can even increase its memory capacity... but I don't need that yet. So I'll do it when the time comes. It's true that the firmware lacks a few fine points, but overall it's a great phone to have. U just have to know how to use it... that is to have a little guts and some knowledge. Cheers, mates!!!

  • it not good

  • Awesome Phone. I love it.

  • i have one its good but the camera dose not fit good i don't klike the fact that it is not at all shock resistant

  • This stuff is really hot, this handphone far away left the another vendor, if we look the price is very cheap compare with another product with the same features

  • This phone sucks!!! I bought it in Spain but it doesn't have calendar and not even a reminder list! And when you check out the calls you've made it doesn't show the time each of it took place! It only shows the number! That's crap!! It looks nice but it is a stupid phone! I hate it!!!

  • me retornam. obrigado.

  • this phone sucks. I bought it for one dollar, but now I am in deep regret for my mistake. I hate siemens.

  • I bought C60 last thursday, and i have to say...i'm a little bit dissapointed.My phone doesn't have 38 ringtones, but only 20.It doesn't have a currency converter or a reminder list.It also doesn't show the time of the numbers i dialed, just of those that i have received or missed.And...i can't find any site on the internet that i could download ringtones from.The problem is the fact that those sites don't have my country on their lists...by the way, i'm from Croatia.So...if there's anyone who could help me, please write. What i like about this phone is its look and good battery life.I also like the fact that i can choose any of those polyphonic ringtones for a message tone.And that would be the only thing i like about Siemens phones in general.I have to say i was never a fan of Siemens phones...and now i know why. Oh yeah...and i didn't buy it by myself..i actually got it from my dad, and that's the only reason why i won't sell it.

  • TO Changes just press the green button

  • eva, you can get it for �89.99 sim free in the UK.

  • Can any1 tell me a rough price in the UK?

  • URGENT HELP NEEDED..How can I phone directly from the phone directory. i go on the name i want to call, choose options then view,edit,new entry,delete,picture,send sms or capacity..And which is CALL???? THANKS!!

  • You have mantioned here about "Reminder List" but i didn't find it. do you help me in this regard how i find about Reminder list. I wil thank ful to you.

  • cheap and good, its a wiked fone

  • Its good , but it should have the cubasis mixer and the sound recording for ringones but nevertheless its good for its price

  • ive herd this mobile is shit i have the mc60 its is gr8. people say that the pics is crap but wat do u expect it aint ba digital camera whihc has a far more beta quality

  • This is not a good Telephone...it dosen't worth buy !! and also there is no Data-Fax modem bulit in . i.e. we can't use it to INTERNET ( GPRS )

  • there is on medium level

  • i want to ask if this mobile have a camera

  • you need to be able to buy more covers for it like nokias and i neva thought writin a sms could be sooooo hard but more covers is the main thing the phone is ugly

  • I'm waiting for my phone.......

  • where are the others?

  • Hmm this phone is worth 0. It has no cool features. The only thing that he does is SMS and call... And it's so damn big just like Nokia 3310

  • Could somewone tell me what is the price of this phone in Romania by free (not Orange, Connex or Zapp, just free )? I think this telephone is a very good one that may be in evreone's handes! I thin that is kind of big 11 cm, hmmmm, 4.7 cm mrrrr,! It should be a bit smaller don't you think! But wee have to admit that is a very complicated telephone and a very very good phone, and for this reason for I'm gone buy it ! Try it people ! It is a cool phone !!

  • how to mannual install mms for siemens c60 ?

  • Does someone know where can I download a java game for Siemens C60? I tried to find a web site, but I could'n (is it because it was recently out on the market?)...why are the games only for Nokia? If you were me...what would you buy: a Nokia 3510i, a Samsung C100 or Siemens C60?? I'm intrested in those java games and applications...tnx

  • disappointing phone feels cheap , buttons are hard to press and graphics aren't great , think I'll stay with my 5100

  • impressive small phone

  • It is the worst shit that I ever held in my hands.Dont buy it people! They have a good reason why offer it with a postpaid subscription.Telekom Srbija cheated about 20000 people like that.Prize:30 eur BUT with 2 years contract! Build quality:no comment...It will split up in your hands.

  • siemens c60 is very good and cheep phone and i will buy it tomorow!!! in lithuania it cost about 7 eurs with subscription

  • DOes this Phone has a Camera Built in?

  • do you know where i can get a cammara

  • does C60 has a built-in data&fax modem? since not every gprs phone has a modem

  • In fact it's 92$ + VAT 19% ~ 110$ for a monthly subscription of 4$, or 94$ for monthly subscription of 10$ (6$ being GPRS subscription, 5MB included)

  • Sebastian, if you don't have money, don't buy it, the company must have profit, do you want to have a price of 10$ maybe. Maybe if we could produce mobiles would be easier to buy. Unfortunately that is the usual way that we are thinking that someone must give us a gift and that is why we are so poor. Anyway the phone here in Romania is 99$ with subscription.

  • Interesting.

  • The resolution is good. I'm happy with it!

  • Good phone with good price! Very Good!

  • To Cisco Engineer: U know very well that here, in Romania, wages are low and 200$/mobile is very expensive, a sallary! Siemens should lower prices for Eastern Europe and put some codes on the mobiles so people wouldn't export them in the West.

  • I heard the phone is coming out by October. Any suggestion? I'm using C55 now and I want to get this one as well.

  • Mam - I mean 4th quarter of 2003. =)

  • Mam - Release date is 4th quarter 2004.

  • Who knows when Siemens C60 can be available in Bangkok?

  • Sebastian, Siemens has great design and features now.. you will get a great price in C60, with great feature and technology. Ericsson? Can you call your friend with it? :)

  • Koli - I believe M55 is more expensive than C60. Because M55 has a bigger memory. Overall, they are good =)

  • I wonder witch phone will be most expensive Siemens M55 or Siemens C60

  • You die without using siemens you have missed something great. Looking forward to get one for myself.

  • Especially to Mr. "Sebastian Ene", If U R still thinking in that very moment (2003) that Ericsson GF768 is still a phone and not a REFRIGERATOR, U R dead wrong !!! By the way if your demands from a mobile phone are only TALK from it, please do not bother to post another message (or massage), just buy a non-expensive high class JAR, from you can TALK and be sure that you will hear nothing except your own stupidity; then just kill yourself! To be honest I trust Siemens and C60 will be my next mobile, C series being as everyone knows middle price, well designed and equipped !!! P.S. As far as I know 60 series was developed together by Nokia and Siemens !

  • wow.. far by comparison, siemens is the most reliable handset maker than nokia with their fashion statement phones (aside from 9210) and sonyericsson with their missing identity (and sometimes missing signal reception) with a low end model we can get far more technology than a low end nokia phone.

  • The Siemens C60 WON'T be expensive...

  • It's a very, very expensive&good phone, but it's more fashion than useful, because Ericsson GF768 is a very tiny phone, and u can talk, that's the main purpose of the phone, am I right? It is not supposed to have a refrigerator or to make u a massage, it only should be able to be "talkative"! So, succes is buying this mobile, i surely wouldn't, because, if I buy a phone, i would buy it ONLY to TALK from it!
