  • Could any-one lend or give me a user manual for the C72 in english. Bought this ages ago but never used it having found my old one now it seems I only have the manual in foreign languages. Will pay postage.

  • tell me how can i get usb and driver for siemens c72

  • first tel us how can we reset when pin cude is closed all time

  • Good phone. I used it for 4.5 years, now my son got it and the phone still works perfectly.I haven't got any problems.What else to want from a mobile phone.

  • Hello I am having the same problem. My C72 is too old now, but I want to save an olf picture (JPG) before is "dies" for good. I borrowed an old cable Siemens RS-232 (not an USB) but nothing happens. The software is missing. I do not remember any CD with the C72 software ... do you?

  • Does any one have a disk with the software to copy JPG files from the Siemens C72 to a computer? My S C72 is very old now and about to be "disactivated". But I want to save a couple of memorable pictures.

  • I like siemens mobilephone than nokia till now..but where are you now siemens...?

  • Lovely phone, bought in 2006, and only recently has it started having signal problems. I never figured out how to transfer stuff from it though :S

  • very good phone I used it over 4 years

  • This phone it's good . Low cost . Cool design . Works perfect after 4 years . the main disadvantage is the battery that has short lifetime but all the features are good :)

  • great phone ever! i still using it.. until now

  • Please figures in the operation of Google Mobile siemens c72

  • Yeah, pretty much. To be more precise, it's a C65 with different plastics, a VGA camera instead of a CIF one and a slightly lower resolution display (128x128 rather than 130x130) - although some of the C72s do have the old 130x130 display and just leave the edge pixels unused. The main PCB is exactly the same except with different firmware and a couple of resitors move to indicate that it's a "C72" rather than a "C65".

  • siemens USB DCA 510 or 540 which is available with siemens dealer.

  • i stay in mumbai & my brother from abroad had purchased for me a c72 mobile. i want some assisstance regarding the data cable from where i can have it so that i can transfer the image files & sound recorded file into my pc.

  • Only had this phone less than a year. I hate it, when its cold outside the silly thing switches its self off.

  • I like my phone but I'm irked by the lack of software support that came with the USB data cable for it (which must be purchased separately). The software says it's not compatible, though the packaging says it is.

  • Hello, The phone is Siemens C72. In the spec. is written that video can be used, but I didn't manage to make it work. Does any one know how to start video recording. Thank you for the help.

  • Can any body answer these siemens c72 questions? please tell me how can i print photos from the camera, how can i remove out pin i want to open the mobile without pin number, and how can i play video with this phone. thank you.

  • The new C72 is the ideal choice for those who like to share emotions and experiences with friends and family. Expect multimedia communication, convenience and straightforward navigation.

  • It's a damn good mobile. Best for the youth -atleast from my side. It's even better than Nokia 6070. The features are very good but only 3 features lack in it, that is - Bluetooth, MP3 & Video recording and Video playing. It has very good ringtones and screen savers. It's screen is a bit small and the colors available are only 65536. But that's fine. Out of 100, I will rate it as 87.5. I would recommend this mobile to everyone who are buying mobile for the first time.

  • This fone is great was able to download java games,ringtones and wallpapers through the GPRS the only problem is the battery life which is short,its just for a day.

  • why are the gprs functions sometimes fixed on a particular urls? I guess it'd be better if the GPRS fuctions were left fully open. Otherwise c72 is a superb phone. Scarce though.

  • does anyone know how to record vedio ? and does the games and wallpapers and themes of the c65 work on this mobile? , and where can i download games and stuff for it from??

  • This is my first phone too. Its wicked but kinda messes up on me at times, like every1 else i wish it had bluetooth and that but if you think about it, the phones not that bad im just wonderin how to put videos n dat onto it. Sorry for the bad gramma im jus used 2 msn.

  • Yes, this phone is the most potable of all, with a lot of functions. But my problem is, why are they not sold together with their accessories; data cable, ear phone, etc. They are also not in the Ghanaian market, too. From Richard Ghana

  • hey i know how you play videos. step 1: Go to Setup step 2: Go to phone setup step 3: go to memory assistant step 4: Go to videos step 5: you can play videos:) Gijs Domen(from the netherlands)

  • basicly this phone is very good, but after a few months i use this phone i have some trouble. the trouble is keypad doesn't work as well as before and often hangs and error. for some note, i never use this phone hardly and never fallen. and i want to ask to siemens, i have read the specification that this phone have vga camera and video but in fact this phone only have camera without video. thanks, sorry if i have some mistake in words, sorry my english not very good

  • i bought this phone yesterday. i cannot change is the ringtone to what i want. can someone please help me.

  • This phone is not very functional, I wish it had BT and MMC Card. Please, tell me which phone has both of this options. Type me to [email protected]

  • Yep, it's splendid. Simple integface, good ergonomics and only 95$ in Ukraine. BUT! It doesn't play 3gp! Why?

  • It's not an ideal phone but i can't afford an expensive one. Please tell me which phone has MP3, sd card and bluetooth?

  • Hi for everyone, just one simple question: Can i use the USB cable to transfer games from the PC to the Siemens C72? Thanks for the help.

  • Hello GSMArena.com. How many byte the internal memory for this phone. Thanks.

  • I tried this, but i can only insert a photo rather than a video. Pressing the left key brings up the camera but will not give me the option of video.

  • To record video on my C72 I need to start a new MMS message and then press left soft button to activate camera, the left soft button then toggles between video and camera. SW-Version:16

  • my question is which type of ring tones i can play on Siemens C72

  • Just a couple of questions. 1. I have found out how to view video (setup-phone setup-memory assitant) but is there anyway i can shoot video using the camera. The manual is rubbish and never makes this clear. 2. I understand that you can change the cover of the this phone, but have never seen anywhere to buy them, any ideas.

  • I realy like the phone its good you can make videos if you have under fw 22 which i dont have..... but its a realy good phone! the only thing is i broke my joystick!!!!because its from plastic its verry fragile!!!many peoples joystick has brokeN.....to bad if the joystick wasnt bad the phone rockt!

  • Can't send the MMS in Vodafone NZ network. Is there any solution for it?

  • Can you use this phone abroad? Does it have tri-band? Can't find this on the specs anywhere?

  • Its okay but it goes onto the camera automatically when trying to access the menu, its annoying. I don't think its very robust either but user friendly none the less

  • Siemens c72 is good mobile but it's camera is soo bad.

  • can you post some pictures made with this phone (siemens c72) ?

  • at last someone has answered how to make video with this phone thank you vasil i bought this for myself and my son is getting one as a present and he wanted to know if video option but as it is not mentioned in manual i didnt know how to take them why isn't the video option outlined in manual it would save a lot of searching aggghhhh!!!

  • Hm strange i use it and it works fine . Tell me what happens when you press "Do It!"

  • This phone is great for its price! Huge Phonebook, organiser and memory for sms and calls! But i can't use OD_02 for hacking... it gives me an error! Any tips?

  • You cant disable this sound from the phone. You need to have a data cabel and suitable software . you need "SiMoCo" and a program that hacks you'r phone : "OD_02"

  • in reply to all the people that have said that it has the worst camera i must disagree. it has a far! better camera than a lot of the newer phones i have had it is also easy to use.

  • How do you transfer numbers from the sim card to the phone book after setup? The manual says use "Options" in the phone book but there is no "Options" to select?

  • this phone has the worst camera that i have ever seen.the camera of c 65 is much better than this

  • this phone has the worst camera that i have ever seen

  • I'm trying to disable the sound that the C72 makes when we take a picture but I can't find any instructions in the user's manual or in the internet. Could someone give me this information or simply there is no way to disable that sound? Thanks.

  • How i send a message!!!???. And how i can get that one coming call has it owns sound???

  • I recently bought this phone from a friend who had vodafone. This Siemens C72 has still 7 months waranty. I like it very much, it's my second phone (i had a sagem myX2-2m bleach...) but i have a few problems. I put in the SIM on orange network, but the internet does not work and neither the MMS. I activated the GPRS and also called at orange and made the GPRS settings, but still it does not work. Before the settings it was error : cannot resolve hostname. after the first settings error : network unavailable, and after that i made the settings again (as orange told me) and every wap site seems to be loading... but stays about 1 minute and error: connection timedout. And i don't know how to use the infrared port. Please help me. You can answer here...or contact me on [email protected]

  • Nop it has a Video Camera!!!!!!! Hidden in the MMS menu . Trie to make a picture in an new MMS ,you'll notice that there is a option to take Video . To watch the Video you have to go to : Setup-Phone setup -Memory assistant-Videos. I hope i helped. This is not shown in the Manual

  • The phone works well and has lots of good points but it is really really difficult to open and also difficult to remove the Sim. Unfortunately I won't be able to use it now as I refuse to go with Orange anymore and they want �30 to unlock the phone despite my never having a contract with them just pay as you go which I think is the pits

  • What is the total shared memory in this handset? Please help.

  • Anis, there is no vodeo camera on this phone. it has a camera which takes photos

  • I am interested in siemens C72, and i want to knowit's batteries skills. i'm just use gsm for calls, or SMS and photos pleasecould you send me your opinions thanks

  • How do ya use the video camera on this fone..??and wht is the video format tht it uses..?? thx

  • the games in c72 are java games to know more visit www.c65world.tk

  • Well I think for his specifications it is very cheap, but maybe we want very much from it. We must be glad it has something(camera) and if the battery doesn't work we will get new one. If somebody wants to now everything(the ones who have the phone) to read the manual. That is from me! >>If i had wrote somethig wrong it is because i am not english

  • What are the games in this phone and are they JAVA?Thank you!

  • hi good morning can you pls tell me how to send a mesege becouse when i am redy i cant find the address book is very dificult and he dont ring when its deliverd its make me grazzi m ann gambin

  • Just use your head! Its very easy to remove the back cover and the sim card.Removing the back cover is just opposite to nokia set. To remove the sim just push it gently from behind.

  • is it possible to replace the front facia casing on this phone?

  • Hi there, I have this phone for 2 days. It seems to be quite good and considering its price, it's a very good acquisition. the only cons I've noticed are: - the battery falls out when phone is opened - it's very hard to remove the back side of the device - it's terribly hard to pull out the sim card Concerning the battery that falls each time I open the phone, I'd like to know if someone has the same problem?

  • is there anyway i can make my C72 play mp3? for ezample a java program, etc.??? thank you

  • Does this telephone have a photo caller ID? If it does,how to manage it?

  • yes i bought this wonderful mobile yesterday and i got a lot of functions infrared speakers and i have fun with taking pictures and excahnging them with my friends

  • Do you own the siemens C72? If so please can someone answer 4 questions for me?! 1) Does the phone send a message report to tell you whether the text message you have sent has got through to the person? 2) Does the phone have a loudspeaker? 3)What's the quality of the camera and video like? 4)How many text messages can be stored on the phone if i buy it from the orange network with a bundled sim? Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!! Please post replies on the gsmarena opinions page, you won't be able to email them to me. Thanks very much!!

  • Note that there is also an IrDa port on the side of this phone. Probably not easy to spot if you're not looking for it. If you have a laptop then more than likely you'll have a matching IrDa port on it. (try checking the PCMCIA slots) It looks like a dark red rectangular plastic plate about the size of an earphone bud.

  • Can anyone please send me an instruction how to record a video on CV72...I'm kind of confused..there is my mail adress so, if anyone would be kind...thanks

  • Is it possible to video with this mobile? If possible then how to do it? Can somebody help me please.

  • Look, I have done everything to my siemens c72 that I recently bought in order to be connected to the internet via the GPRS but all efforts by the network provider of my phone proves to be futile. They say the phone is not compactible.What is the cause? My phone number is 0242984713.

  • Hey, just got this phone, looks great,but one question - how the hell do you record video on it? I have read that people have recorded 10-50 second clips but i can't seem to locat how to do it! Please reply :S

  • hi Blitza, vibrate and sound can work together.

  • this is a great phone at this price level.Talk time and standby time are fare enough. This cell has got 10.5 mb internal memory. this is a cell which seems not to be beautiful in pics but in reality its a very elegant set.

  • @blitza - Does the keypad lock automatically if we forget it? A: YES. One minute after standbye, the keypad will auto lock if you set it. - Does it have themes? A: Yes, and there are tons available in the net. - Does after send a message,the report message saying if it was sent or not make any sound or apear in the inbox silently? (Samsung beeps when a report arrive wich i dont like) A: You have many options: Siemens has info tones, you can turn if off or on or extended tones. generally a very short audible beep will be heard after the message is sent ot not, but again this can be disabled or enabled. - Does it vibrate at the same time as it rings? (cause in samsung or ring or vibrate, or ring first and vibrate then which i dont like too) A: Yes, vibrate and ring at the same time. It can also be ring only, vibrate only. And you have selections of vibration modes. - To lock the keypad we have to press just one key, not as the nokias right? A: one key only, press and hold number(#) sign.

  • Hey! Some questions: - Does the keypad lock automatically if we forget it? - Does it have themes? - Does after send a message,the report message saying if it was sent or not make any sound or apear in the inbox silently? (Samsung beeps when a report arrive wich i dont like) - Does it vibrate at the same time as it rings? (cause in samsung or ring or vibrate, or ring first and vibrate then which i dont like too) - To lock the keypad we have to press just one key, not as the nokias right? Thanks

  • Hey! Have some questions about this phone. - Does it vibrate at the same time as rings or first vibration and then the sound? (I ask this because in samsung it doesnt do both together, first vibration then melody) - After send a message the report message saying if it was sent or not apears in the incoming box without no sound (also in samsung x200 the message report make the sound of an incoming message but i prefere the reports are silence) - Does it have themes and diferent colours menus? - Is it possible to change the icon menus as for other siemens models? (i saw this website and i love the icons design

  • What are the E-mail settings for this phone? I've checked the Siemens website but can't find. Could someone either state the settings or paste the direct URL please.

  • this phone is GREAT!!!IT has video and high qualiti photos!!! and the price is GOOD!!!

  • just bought today in Jakarta (Indonesia) at roxy mall for IDR 890k, roughly around USD97. Menu pretty good, quite responsive, camera quality not bad for vga, but the ringtones are not funky enuf. gotta download urself. cant play mp3, wav is ok. it has speakerphone function, one thing that i couldnt find on any brochure. for this price, i think it's quite a complete phone with reasonable specs. no radio tho'.

  • how do u use the video recorder on the siemens c72 ???????

  • how do i use the video ?

  • so...like MC60 plus infrared.It better if M55 plus camera and infrared because more interesting design...

  • someone says sometimes this set software just does not work.it just hang. memory not clear & also polyphonic sound...

  • Hi, I bought same phone yesterday and cable too. The soft in pack isn't correct for this phone. I don't know how i can find out in phone version of firmware. Could you tell me : how can I find out version of firmware , where is some good free soft for managing from pc and where are some pages with tones and play ...Many, many thanks, Lubo

  • Im very happy with my C72.

  • It can play video (3gp). To faisal, u can transfer anything via infrared.

  • i wanna buy this phone. but do i transfer wallpaper & tones to this phone to sony or nokia phone by infrared port. someone says its not possible......

  • Its a very good phone i doesn't have video on it but the photos u can take are really good quality and u can view them as a slide show.The games are also very good.Another cool feture is its sound recorder.I give it 9 and a half out of 10.If you want a gr8 phone get this 1!

  • are you sure this has no video

  • very fine fone at such price,though it doesn't have vdo bt, the still cam's pic quality is same to siemens m65 or some other set of much higher price. i think buying it will be a good deal.thanx

  • to rosen go to siemens-mobile.com then you can find all firmware updates and sunc software for your c72

  • This pfone doesn't have a video recording.It has only picture camera!!!

  • After setting the device up it didn't have any power. A fully drained battery would take 2 to 4 1/2 hours to reload. Having it recharged overnight, it still didn't work. Together with the poor design (battery cover) this opts for a return to the shop and no Siemens for me again.

  • Worse than I expected. Added a comment yesterday about it's terrible design but after a night of reloading the battery that didn't function when it came out of the box I have now discovered that the battery provided malfunctions. Should I have expected this when buying a CHEAP cellphone?

  • Battery cover's improperly designed - grooves pointing the wrong direction for instance - so you won't get it off without using a screwdriver or some other sharp edged tool, consequently scratching it each time you do so.

  • FYI all, in Jakarta, INA it costs only approx USD 90.00. What a reasonable price fo such a phone & based on the commercial mentioned it has TFT 65k display

  • This phone is realy nice.But could someone tell me where can i find branding for this phone because i hate vodaphone...Please send me the url where can i find branding

  • It has 10.5 MB memory.. and if u know how to take care of it.. it will be a very good choice.. :) GooD LucK!

  • yes it's cheap and i will buy it. memory is 10.3 MB as i found..

  • This phone is very cheap.But how many memory it has i don't know--could someone tell me?

  • In Serbia it costs only 75-85 euros, its the cheapest phone with all theese functions on the market!

  • From information found on internet I could say that this phone won't have bluetooth and MP3 support. Camera and video capture will be available.

  • does this fone have bluetooth, a camera, MP3 , a video camera and i jus wanna no wot it is like

  • This site is the only one claiming the TFT / 65K colors screen on this phone. All other sites are stating that the screen in C72 is CSTN (same as in C65). Guess we will have to wait till october to find out who's right... :)) PS Nice little phone - looks like boosted CV65.

  • This phone looks like C65 with TFT screen, and camera resolution increased to VGA (640X480). If the price is the same as for C65 it is certainly going to be the best buy!

  • Would it be the upgraded version of C65? That means all features of C65 will be kept...

  • this gsm is wonderful.what can you wish from gsm for this money.the design si SUPER with very clean details

  • this phone is great but what is the phone memory/capacity???
