  • i love this mobile because my first used mobile ever i realy like this mobile

  • This was my very first EVER mobile phone.I bought it for £100 way back in the beginning of January 2005. I loved this phone in It's prime, especially with it being my 1st EVER mobile, and I still have it now! Although, I've been having problems with the battery constantly running out, like It's ran out of juice and had It's day unfortunately. :'( I'm currently on my 5th phone which is the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S which I bought for £199.95 on Feb, 3rd, 2012.I bought the Siemens CX65 from The Carphone Warehouse back in Jan 05. The shop I bought it from closed down.

  • My second phone ever. Great phone, display is really big for that time. Nice design as well.

  • That is nice phone, i was using it for a few years, it never failed! Also great price and functions for its time :)

  • I dont know how to get the menu on view

  • I bought it 2005, still using. Bought new battery (old battery wasn´t good enough) from ebay and im pleased.

  • Great phone .. It would be perfect if it had a memory card and bluetooth, but that's a bit ahead of it's time. I still use mine. =D

  • this sin the phone i used 6 or 7 year ago . It is very good phone to use

  • very clever mobile i bought it 5 years ago an i still have it.

  • This was my first phone. I take it in September 2004. This is great mobile. I used it 3 years, after that a have used 3 or 4 phones, but this is the most i like.

  • Cool phone... Remembered that I like the screen size when I have this phone, till it disppeared from my sight.

  • That was my first phone in my life. Its was a beautifull phone a had. But the promblem was a video camera. Its was just recorded for 30 sec and I don't no why..

  • I still have one i bought in December 18th, 2004. It went dead before 2006 was over, but since it had a 2 year warranty, Benq,open it up took everything out, put a completely new set inside, leaving only the old exterior, and it has been working great ever since, going on 6 years since i bought it. Too bad Siemens close down it's cell division, it was the only one that give Nokia a run for it's money. Maybe someday they'll return...

  • I had this phone for over 2 years. Great one with wonderful usability and reliability. it's a great shame that Siemens discontinued as an independent manufacturer, cause they really made phones for life. however, I still got a copy of the Mobile Phone Manager (MPM) for my friend Ralph. I you want type your email address so I can send it to you.

  • 2 years and the phone died (

  • Great little phone, it's been going strong for the past 4 years, but it's finally getting to the stage where it's turning off by itself =( I will be sad to see it go. I've had to gaffer tape the back on, and it's only down-fall for me is the fact it doesn't have bluetooth, but apart from that it is a fab phone =)

  • Hi "Siemens fan" - you mentioned you found 1 shop that sells the CX65 battery -- is this shop in Singapore? Can you tell me the address and contact #? Are the batteries genuine batteries? Thanks in advance!!

  • In the beginning, i had to change my cx65 model about 5 times before i got perfectly working one and now it is working well about 3,5 years without problems. Only problem is battery but i found one shop, where i can buy it. Like it because its flexible operation system. Unfortunately Siemens phones had gone :/.

  • I have been using this phone for 4 years -- no problems with it so far!! I love the phone. Anyone know where I can get a new battery for the phone?? Any info greatly appreciated - so that I can continue to use this phone...... thanks!

  • I love this phone!

  • nice in making calls..

  • i love this phone!4 years still fine..siemens mobile division please get up again!

  • during camera recording it often stops before 30 seconds passed, it is the only failure i have found on cx65 :)

  • I got this phone of my friend as a suplly phone due to having my old one stolen, and after about 1 week a problem occured, the slightest touch on the camera it turns it self off, i then thought i need a new phone so i got a d600!!

  • in one day when i set a colour scheme in my CX65, it switched off by himself for along time.I cannot switch it on so far - it shows without any light only one line on screen, which disapears later. I think my phone is broken. Who knows how to fix it please tell me!

  • HELP! The LCD screen lights up when turned on but no picture/figures/text. Anyone knows how to fix? Downloads to fix or other ways?

  • i had this phone 3.5 years ago. From the beginning it often crashed during video recording, long sms writing and files browsing. after using it for a 6 months, i gave it to my mom. She's satisfied with this phone, it doesn't crash, because she doesn't use the most of it's features LOL

  • i have this phone for 3yr now. I like it. The talking qual is very good. No talking disfu**tion like other phones. I mostly like flashing light when you miss call or have new sms. Good LCD visability in direct sun light. And in screensaver mode you can press 11 or other buttons and the light comes on for 1min so you can light your way home :D

  • dont buy tis phone even if some1 gift it 2 u. it is useless & the worst mob i hav ever seeen in my life

  • I got this phone for like 1 year and i downloaded some themes and when the battery was out i charge him and when i was about to put the PIN it stops i got to turn him off removing the battery Please Help Me!

  • Software version is very important so the phone could work properly, shutdowns, slow downs, maybe it happens because you have low SV, mine with SV 50 doesn't cause any problem

  • I don't have these problems you write about, maybe because I have battery 900 mAh and software version 50, no unexpected shutdowns and works 2 - 3 day used often.

  • I have cx65 for about 3 months, how turn off that sound when taking photo?

  • i m using cx65 from one year. I found some problems. Battery problem is a big problem. Battery end with in 6 or 7 hours. Other problem is that some time set is hanged. When i use wap, its open only yahoo page. When i log in in yahoo or messenger then it take many time and also not connected. Some time when i on my set it shutdown very quickly.

  • styx. You do know that the shutter noise can be turned off, don`t you??

  • I have had my CX65 over 3 years. I love this phone. I am sorry to hear Siemens will no longer be making them. The menu design & ease of use if brilliant (I have found the others makers cumbersome). Good - Flashing light, vibrate (various), Menu layout/options, Big Screen, Ease of texting Bad - Can be a little slow sometimes, Lack of Bluetooth Really I would love to have this phone with increased speed, increased memory, bluetooth, higher spec camera and maybe some music options!

  • 3 years old friend, But I hate its shutter noise

  • i have my cx65 and it's really great.. how i wish it also have mp3 or radio instead

  • i got a problem in siemens CX65.Its a screen problem.when i on the cell there is no screen avaliable on desktop.only shows white screen.tell me wat can i do? wat is the problem?

  • My first cellphone was siemens A40, then A35, then Nokia 3310 (the famous one), then Ericsson E39i, then siemens c65, and now I have siemens cx65. It's really a great phone. It's like a new version of NOKIA3310 (meaning it's INDESTRUCTABLE!). Maybe if I get the Panasonic P900i (wich is not available for outside Japan :S) I'll change this one

  • nice

  • keypad not working

  • To: "Blank Name" Buy the usb cable or an infra red Adapter With the USB Cable you can do it all with the "Mobile Phone Manager", "directly download it from the web page of siemens"... And with the infra red adapter just like another phone, select the video or pic and send it via IrDa

  • Bought my phone feb 2005 and I love it, love it, love it. It's like my best friend. Brought it to Egypt with me in 2005. How do you upload videos and pictures onto pc? Jay

  • Simply great I bought it three years ago and i think i can't replace it with any other phone i loved it so much they say Siemens is difficult to use, they lie......... It is the most flexible ,the easiest set i ve ever seen

  • Really think this is one of best telephones Siemens ever made

  • I bougth the CX65 in February 2nd 2007 and it�s the best cell phone I had so far and I had already had an SonyEricsson K500i but the Siemens simply RULES!

  • good.............................simply superb

  • great phone..i'm still using since 2004 and everything is ok! I don't think to replace this phone with other and it'll happen i'm so sad :)

  • personally i prefer siemens , there is one thing is available in siemens and not available in all mobiels types which is the larg font option,no mobile can enlarge font as Siemens do. its very important for old men, thank you Siemens. waseem - Syria

  • To: Andrew426 I have no problems with this phone, and the turning off is normal.... doesn't appear the screen blue...

  • Im considering buying one of these to replace my CV65, which has a few age-related issues. The seller says it has a problem with intermittently turning off, with the screen turning blue (I had the same problem with my old C60) but it looks like its got some good features. This will be my 5th siemens phone :P

  • ME too Since 2004 it was king when it was releasd but now ,,, LOOL i love siemens soo much but after benq came ,.. never think to buy a mobile phone carries ( BENQ- SIEMENS) i will try sony ericsson W810

  • i am still using cx65 since 2004. it is a nice mobile.

  • TO: DDD You can't remove any aplication that's comes with the phone, are blocked :-D (Only formating the phone.... but i don't recomend that, the phone after this is useless, and you have to reinstall the firmware (With all the aplications..., returning to the same place...)) Only if you install a new ones, that are the only you can remove.... (Options -> Delete) Maybe is security since it was built

  • how to remove applications.? why cant i delete it?

  • TO: BGD I think not..., well... with the mine nop, i reinstall with the new firmware and still in 30 seconds :-/

  • my phone makes videos for 30 seconds...is there any solution to film more? thanks

  • No, you can't ;-)

  • can i install this bs player or vLC player in my cx65 phone?my email is [email protected]

  • To: girish Go to the service center and claim for warranty ;-)

  • I am having this handset for the last six months, but for the last couple of weeks, my battery backup has reduced drastically. moreover, now i am unable to receive any incoming calls. I get later as a missed call. My friends get as not reachable,out of coverage even when the signal is at the peak. Please suggest what to do and where it can corrected.....

  • first you need to transfer to the computer.... After install a program named BS Player or VLC Media Player, the both works fantastic! And ready to be played :-D

  • how to watch videoclips made by my cx65 on my pc

  • With the problem of video.... it's due to memory, remember the software sometimes is inestable, so i recomend format and reinstall, but before back up :-D But if you don't know how to do it, back up and go with your distributor, maybe will charge you some $$$ but is safe, and if you are inside of your warranty will free ;-) I have the same problems sometime so don't worry, i understand you :-D

  • I have this phone from along time and it works so gooood , but i have aproblem with it so please tell me what to do "Some of the missed calls i found it in the recieved calls and the video cuts in 5 seconds with afree memory " Please reply !!! my email "[email protected]"

  • I got this for 2 years and still alive. I can charge the battery in less of 1 hour and the duration is excelent! If you want to tranfers your content multimedia there are other options like IrDa, MMS, no necessary BT. This phone is the more flexible in content in the market, images, documents html, tones, java games, and is true the vga camera is the best in the markets. 11mb on board memory maybe not to much for this days but i prefer this phone to the V3, this phone has much more functions and have a low cost ;-) Good for siemens :-D And if you want content multimedia even the har to find themes go to: Zedge.net Sure you'll find what your looking and for all the phones in the market! :-D

  • can somebody send me some themes 4 this [email protected]

  • this is not true,video takes 30 secounds and the battery recharges in 1 hour or less,i have this phone since it appeared on the market and it still is worcking werry good.

  • and the video camera takes only 15 seconds

  • in al my expirience with phones (i already had 13 phones by the way)don't buy siemens!this phone is a piece of cr*p!!the battery won't last long,the joystick s*cks,recharging takes hours and hours,and way more ,so my message to you: DON'T BUY THIS PHONE!!!!unless you want someting that lasts 6 months or less

  • hi everyone. this phone is great! i just want to remind you, that dont forget to make the most out of it by using the .WAV songs in it! real cool ringtones!

  • hello gonzalo,u asked about our opinion. i have the cx65 and i am very happy with it,,the whole thing is : you don�t like a modern cell you like simple cells and if you want to change it, why no? but i still prefer the modern thing about cx65 anyway af51 is cute.........................

  • if you have some themes 4 this phone can you pls send them on my e-mail

  • hello,does anyeone have themes 4 this phone,i have this phone 4 2 years and it is still worcking very good.now i dont use it so mutch because i have another,but still i wont some themes 4 it.if somebody hase some plz e-mail me at : [email protected] tks

  • I have had this phone (CX65)for 18 months now. I am going to change it for a Siemens AF51. Reasons? The CX65 is too big, has a big display which I do never use, has a camera which I do never use (what do you do with the pictures aniway? you have to buy a USB cable to transfer them to your computer, and then you realize that they are low quality pictures which can not compare with the pictures of a digital camera.. same for the videoclips). It is not at all good looking. Why do I choose AF51? It SMALL, good looking, and cheap... (you can have it for 49 euros). It's a classical phone, with no features. Features where invented to make you pay a lot of money for things you don't need. A phone is a phone, to talk with it. �Do you really go to Internet with your phone? It's expensive, slow... A computer does that much better. This is my opinion. What do you think?

  • wonder ful design just one fault is no true tones plz bring this siemens company in competition with sony ericsson and other brands

  • I have this phone and it does play truetones although the sound quality is not as powerfull as other phones. but you need to download from other phone using infrared

  • No MP3, but it's great phone, the camera it's only VGA but it's better that others VGA's camera phones

  • my brother has this cell and he like it but preffer other but don t have money

  • Its not good coz not support (MP3-s. Buletooth)is old model

  • hello, this is me again, look the battery is really bad but i like this cell so much,,coz the quality of the picture is perfect;somebody knows where i can find a better battery?My collegue told me a person has this cell and the battery is good even that you wear the phone too much...

  • my phone automatically lost its mesaging dictionary and ird is always saying "aborted"

  • Well its not so good when it does not support MP3-s. A little bit old model

  • Hey people, people!!!!! Do not complain!!! This is one of the best mobile phones ever!!!! I've had it for over 2 years now, and don't even thenk about changing it!!!! Now about YOUR problem. It's very simple. the camera records MAX 30sec video clip, but if you are running out of memory, it will automaticly lower the duration of the record. While for the voice recording, you can record until you run out of memory. Underztood?

  • I have siemens cx65 mobile for the a week It gives the problem as its signal recieving capacity is low where other sets are working axcept this. Nor this send nor receive any call or message. please give me your kind suggestion. thanks Syed Attaullah Jan

  • the siemens cx65 is a good phone but it would be nice if ther was a longer video recording, and mp3.

  • Is there a way of creating a mp3 software for the cx65.

  • I am a Nigeia woman, I bought your product siemens cx65 2 months ago and the video is giving me problem. Is the phone has just only 11 seconds video recording? please if it more than that can you just teach me how to operate it. Thank I love your product.

  • I have had this phone for nearly a year now. The one problem I had right from the start is that it just turns off whenever it wants. But it has fallen many times now, been covered in beer, and for 2 days I couldnt turn it on at all.. but it came back to life by itself and now going fine, except for annoyin breaks when it wants to turn off for a few seconds.. But I like it, and for the price that I bought it, I don't have much to complain. Great pics and video too

  • i stay in negeria and i just got the phone its just 4months 2weeks, i discover the message i set to come up each time put it one doesnt and the auto switch off is meant to be daily non stop, but i keep going back to put it on auto off everyday why?

  • the phone is quite good it has clear pictures, but the only problem it keeps giving me is that it goes off at will , esspecially when checking messages and the battery life doesn't last long.

  • i think that the phone has great camera, good clear pictures ,only real disappointment is with the volume on videos!!

  • Hey how can i play mp3 files with siemens cx 65?

  • good design, good display....senzzation cx65!!!

  • I had it for 13 months and I really like it,but it doesnt play MP3 files and the battry is low!

  • please send someone some good software for this phone PLS! THANKS! siemens free mobile

  • www.download.com here you can find mp3 --> wav or amr converters

  • I'm using this phone for 2 yrs plus now and it is a good phone. good quality pictures and clips taken by th camera. Set backs for the phone would be that it has no card slot, no mp3 player or support. Other than that its all good :)

  • I'm using Audacity ­ for converting mp3 files into wav. Audacity is an very good software and it is free. Enjoy!

  • Hi, Does anybody know some Software that can convert "mp3" files to "wav" files which can be played by Siemens CX65. Thanks :-)

  • Look everybody asks about the recording time could somebody answer this question

  • hello SIEMENS people! I have this phone too and I need some nice sounds.If U can/will sand me some nice wav's please mail me. thanx friends!

  • i cannot use my because i can only turn it on with the on/off key but i can not use the other key the phone is not responding wheb i press the keys what can i do.

  • Please somebody can tell me how long cx65 records? Pleople already told is 12 minutes but I don t know how to do it on my phone,they don t explain it on the original web site..............

  • ull can listen to the mp3 songs by converting them into anyother format, the best one being 3gp cause u get a full clear mp3 song for the cost of only 400 to 450kilobytes from ur celll! the only thing that cant be done is that u cant sewt that song as a ringtone but thats no big issue as wav format!!! i love this fone and miss it a lootttt :( as it is stolen!!!:(

  • I was the user of this phone for 13 months (software version 50).The assembly quality is not to high, but it is acceptable.The software is not sa stable as it should be.The phone used to hang while trying to send sms (aproximetely once a week).It used to switch itself of during wap session (rerely).In spite of these disadvantages the menu is very good!It is easy to use and it has plenty of interesting functions (some of them are even better than in Nokia)!!!So, if the hangs and restarts of this mobile phone will not bother You, buy it!!!

  • I bought this phone used last week. All i can say that it's a great phone, and if you want something good and cheap - take it! Picture quallity is pretty good compared to Siemens S65 even though they have different resolutions (S65 - 1.3MP). The phone can play low quallity wav, amr, mid and 3gp. The best solution to placeing everything in your phone is to get a data cable (just like i did). You can convert mp3 to amr OR mpg to 3gp on your PC and sent it to your mobile (yes, i can watch my favourite video clips while staring on my cellphone screen!). I guess there are better phones than this one... but man, the price!

  • I bought this phone used last week. All i can say that it's a grea

  • it basically has everything anyone can want in a phone for its price here in Kenya:wonderful big screen,high resolution. it however doesnt have good tones and samsung tones sound awful in it.all the same its nice. cheers siemens!

  • I just bought a CX65 yesterday. Here are my notes: - not so expensive (around PhP 10,000 or USD $175 here in the Philippines) - no mp3 ringtones (just polyphonic and probably low-quality wav) - around 10.5MB internal memory - around 5.3MB internal memory free - you can use built-in "memory assist" tool to clean up unneeded files like the animated wallpapers/pictures that come with the phone (around 2.3MB) - the "dynamic lighting" feature is basically two small white LEDs at the top corners of the phone blinking in several irritating patterns (good thing you can turn them off) - small and light with relatively large screen (40% front area of the phone) - GPRS & MMS & Web/WAP capable - Java Apps

  • I downloaded some themes onto my computer how do i install them on my phone using the USB connection cable ?

  • Hi, Allen I dont know what's wrong with your CX65 phone. But this phone doesn't have any problem. I'm using this for past 4-5 months, still I didn't get any problme. You don't want recharge the battery everyday unless you are in week signal area or play games. Screen quality and sound also good at this price. if you want more quality you can go for 3G phone (Nokia, Samsung, LG or Siemens)but then you have to spend more.

  • helo!where can i find "siemens usb basis driver"? please help me

  • Don't buy this junk. The phone shuts down by itself at least 3 times a day. It has graphical problems on the front menue,ugly complicated menues, awful sounds, need to recharge every day. The worst phone I ever had.

  • The analog clock is designed that way,its not a problem

  • your problem could be an lcd malfunction. have your fone checked by a certified siemens technician.

  • Hi everybody...I've got a little problem with this phone, well maybe it's not a problem at all but it still bothers me. When the screensaver-analog clock activates, there's a stripe appearing diagonally across the screen approximately 1 cm wide, consisting of slightly darker dots...also the clock circle at that time is full, consisting of many little dots... After a few moments the stripe disappears and at the same time the clock reduces it's full circle only to every-fifth-minute larger dots, as I think it's supposed to look like. I went to Siemens technical support center and they first told me that it's probably due to older SW version which is 12 in my case, but later they reconsidered and told me that it's not an error at all, it's just designed that way... Has anybody else noticed that problem, or am I just being paranoic a bit since it's my brand new mobile phone?

  • I had it for 6 months now. Great phone. Never have had any problems with it. OMFG CX65 ROXORS TEH BIG ONE111!!!

  • Can anybody tell me how can I use pause "p" with this phone. Other phones support it by long key pressing of * key but this phone doesnt give it.

  • Had the phone for a fortnight now. still looking for a downside. there dosnt seem anything wrong with theis phone, the lak of bluetooth and mp3 has not been a problem. this site rules, and I just wish there was more english. cool phone, thanks.

  • The joystick isn't "very bad"!! It's very good after you get use him!

  • I recently bought a Siemens CX65 while vacationing in Germany. I figured that because it is a tri-band cellphone, I would be able to use it in Canada (where I live)when I fly back. Can someone tell me if I will be able to use this particular cellphone in Canada? Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank-you, Larissa

  • Please, tell me if this phone is a great choose, or is it better buy another one ??Thk�s

  • The new joystick at this phone is raely very bad!

  • this phone is rubbish - i got on a free upgrade coz it has video - its flimsy and full of faults the back keeps falling off mine and it switches itself of from time to time.it also has the worst predictive text setup i've ever seen. don't be seduced by the fact it can take video- the camera functions are actually ok but as a package this phone is mince

  • can someone please tell me how many long is the video? plssssss tell me!!!!!!!!

  • Hey phil on which mobile u can remove its joystick,Cx-65 can sync with pc,and cx-65 support wav,u can download soxgui software,from cx65.de it convert a wav file into that wave which is supported by cx-65

  • Hi Guys... how do u phone-lock tis mobile??..got trouble doing it..thanx!

  • oh yeah, one last thing, the maximum the battery will last is 3 days,due to the amount of power the screen needs. If you want to maximise battery, turn off any animated backrounds or screensavers and avoid playing games or running java applications. :-)

  • Ok guys, been reading through some of the posts, so I hope this will answer your questions. Firstly, CX65 does not support MP3 files, at all!! It also doesn�t support WAV files, only MIDI files. Secondly, it�s not possible to turn off the sound when recording a video. Thirdly, to deactivate GPRS, go menu � settings � connectivity � select GPRS and it will ask you �deactivate GPRS?� and you just say yes. On a further note, you DO NOT get charged for GPRS by merely being connected, you get charged for the data you download. Fourthly, it is not possible to deactivate the logo, but it is possible to create your own one (on paint for example) and send it to the phone via infrared as the phone supports both bmp files and gif files. Fifthly, for anyone having problems with settings, go to www.siemens-mobile.com, go into the mobile phone portal, and go to customer care � setting configurator. It is possible to download your settings OTA (over the air). Sixthly, to change the ringtone, go menu, settings, ringtones. Select the one you want to change, click standard, then click change, and it will bring you into your sounds folder. Seventhly, it is not possible to synchronise cx65 with a pc, it doesn�t support that function. However, there is an OTA sync function; but this requires sync settings from your network. Eighthly, the joystick is attached to the phone and is not supposed to be removed, so you will have to get it repaired. Finally a few words of advice, keep your firmware up to date, should be version 43 now, check out www.club-siemens.com. Don�t rush through the menus as the OS is really really slow and unresponsive and rushing will cause the phone to freeze. Be careful taking the battery out of the phone, should you need to, it�s very easy to break the clip that holds the battery in place. And last of all, if you�re trying to decide whether to buy this phone or not, don�t, it�s just really really terrible. Dodgy processor, dodgy firmware, very disappointing. This is my 5th Siemens phone and has just totally put me off Siemens forever because this phone has so many bugs. Hope everyone finds this useful!!

  • My Question: How Can I disable the voice when I'm make a photo?. Another question: how can i disable GPRS. What should I do, when i want to have longer battery charge? (not for 3 days, but for a week for example?? Please respond me :)

  • Does anyone know how can I disable logo function and them use my own name as one? Actually I don�t know how can I change the operator�s name on the display...

  • Another question....if you activate the GPRS on this model do you get charged for doing so?

  • Thanks for the info on setting the ringtone! Now for my next problem!!! Everytime I try to send a picture message I get the message 'Network or configuration error'! When I press the info button I then get the message'Missing setup:CSD data - Phone no.{opt.}' This is now annoying me so much...whats going on???

  • I think u are not able to set them as ringtones from phone setup menu,there is another way go sounds folder,the ringtone u want open its options,in the option menu it shows set as.. and just set it

  • Just purchased the Siemens CX65 phone but one major problem is that I cant change the ringtone! This is annoying me as I have owned a few Nokia phones before & they worked perfectly but decide to go for a change by getting a Siemens and this minor option wont work!! Does anyone have any solutions? Many thanks.......

  • I�m a Siemens CX65 user and got a chance to read few of your comments on gsmarena.com. I saw there that we can changed recording time of videos and can switch off camera click sound but still couldn�t change the recoding time or switch off camera sound. Please anyone help me to change the time of video recording. And also would like to know what the best ring tone format I can use in CX65. I think I can�t play MP3 song but I can play MIDI tones. But the problem is MIDI tones doesn�t give quality true sound. Can I play WAV files on CX65? If so what�s the WAV format I can play on CX65? Can I get quality sound from WAV format more than MIDI format? Hope to hear from someone Best regards, Sulochana Ariyaratne [email protected]

  • The best is the SiMoCo (Siemens Mobile Conrol), I use itfor my CX65. Um, but the SiMoCo handles only 9-10 ports, so if your usb is on the name "Com13", you have to change it. But usually USB is "Com4". GL

  • NEED HELP...... Please can any one tell me that whether I can play MP3 on CX65. I mean can I set MP3 for my ringtones Thank you Sulochana [email protected]

  • Anyone who has a problem with the phone turning of... it's not a faulty handset, don't worry. it happens on all siemens phones. i read a review somewhere and it says just that. i don't currently have this phone, but am going to get it :) i do have another siemens phone and the same thing happens. it's annoying, but they're still good quality phones :)

  • make the right format of wav. as followed: Sample Rate: 16000Hz Channels: Mono Resolution: 32 bit(Float)

  • cx65 can play wav format as long as you got the right format of wav!!

  • Hellow! Could anyone pleas tell me (if you now) if it is possible to download video files from CX 65 to may PC? I already downloaded the soft from , but I can`t sea there an option to do something like that. Thanks, I `ll be waiting for an ansvere

  • cx65 is great but something is missing : can't not played wav format

  • Is it possible to install a MP3 player?

  • This phone is great. I change the icons, a video microphon recording time. I can play wav (song 2:44 - 1,29mb!!!!!!!only how realy mp3!!!!!) I love this phone :)))))

  • has anyone found out how to switch off that camera which is so loud...the sound comes out from the speaker, so it should have an option to disable it...for example samsung x600 can change the sound of the camera or nokia 3200 doesn't make any sound

  • Hi, I just buy this phone I'd like to know if anyone can tell me where do I change the sms receiving tone and the ringtone also, because in my menu I don't find where to change it, I just found where to change the volume.

  • hi every1 what is the video quality like?

  • Great !!!

  • I think that siemens cx65 is the best pnone in his category. It has big screen, good resolution, and good memory. But, something is missing - BLUETOOTH

  • I am now on my third CX65 handset since 24/12/04, as they all seem to switch themselves off occasionally for no reason. The Orange Shop that it was bought from say they have not heard of the fault before. Surely I am not that unlucky to get 3 faulty handsets! I'm about to send it back and get a 4th handset (as this is all they will allow me to do, apart from send my phone off to be 'fixed'). Has anyone else had this problem? Is it true Siemens recalled a 'bad batch' from their stores in some areas of Scotland? I would be grateful for anyone's help or comments. Thanks.

  • Great!!!

  • I have the phone since oct 2004 For this price it's excelent now 200Euro Video 11sec. Search on internet site's who help you the update the soft from siemens

  • Great phone except the software can be a bit finicky!! Wouold bever be able to go back to a small screen. Only real flaw is that it doesnt support .mp3 files, very surprising considering Siemens where the first company to have phones supporting .mps formats, we all remember sl45!!

  • It can record 12 seconds

  • It wont let me video anymore, everytime i press the record button a little box comes up telling me that an error has occurred. Please Help Me. :(

  • Siemens is going to sell its mobile business?

  • It's good phone with some problems: 1- It is so funny when you find dust under the cover. 2- some times it just don't function right or navy key fails to work at time you press it. 3- I think if it have bluetooth it would be great phone.

  • Toshy: No, your M55 cable is not compatible with CX65, phone will be turned off if you plug this cable.

  • Please somebody let me know where do I get full-flash to install in my siemens cx65, I read the forum but there is nothing about it and theres no authorised service center in my country. Just after turning on my cx65 jams and stops working, its flash is damaged, what do I do? please help me, where can i find something to download and install? Firmware update does not help.

  • It has great design & very comfortable for dialing.featurs are good enough but I have some problem with this phone: 1- it turns off randomly and unexpected. 2- Dust goes under the clip-it cover so blurs the display. 3- website isnt good!

  • I just love it!!!

  • hi, I am from Dhaka, Bangladesh. I bought a CX65 phone from siemens corporate office. when I bought it, they commited for after sales service but now they are showing too busy to their job. because I go there for some problem with the phone, even they didn't not hear my complain. The phone is good, but "THE BATTERY PERFORMANCE IS VERY VERY BAD" and also THE IS HANGED WHEN PRESS THE KEYS RANDOMLY. THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM, THEN I DETUCHED THE BATTERY. IS THERE ANY SOLUTION FOR THIS. PLS INFORM... at [email protected] or cell-+880-171-370870

  • hello. anyone knows whether Siemens M55 data link cable is compatible with this phone?

  • A very good phone. It needs a lower price.

  • Hi I am from BG here it cost only 130 euro or around 90 pounds, new . Hhehe in your countries it is about 250euro . But now my question HOW TO TURN OFF THE CAMERA SOUND PLZZZZZZZZ help ...

  • I just upgraded the fw12 into my cx65,and it improves the whitebalance at night and i can shoot for about 30 sec but the pixels are huge and the refresh is lowsyer than the one of mc60.So pardon my french but "how do i get this crap off my shitty phone!!!"

  • There's no perfect! I have this one, poor battery, it's too bad! Get stronger battery? impossible! :) so just take it and face it! enjoy the life :)

  • Hello everybody, I heard that CX65 standard batery is very week, so i need to know if it is possible to get stronger batery for such celphone.

  • cx 65 has good infra red device it work with other mobile phone i tested it with nokia and sonyericsson

  • Hi, I want to buy cx65. 1-I have hear that its battery doesn`t work for long time is it right? 2-What is the real time for video recording?and how can we record(e.g. can we record 3 little film)?

  • I use it for weeks but the battery is not too good only 1-2 days on.Display is too Good, clear and wide. Good Job siemens .. Nice work !

  • That phone is full of bugs, software defects and really bad battery, is the worst phone i ever had

  • it is the best mobile phone i have ever seen

  • Great phone, I read some of the comments on this page before buying the phone and I was concerned that the cx65 was a bad design but I have bought one and it is great. I had in the past 2 Siemens phones followed by 2 Motorola phones and one Nokia phone, but this is the best phone yet by far when you get to grips with the menu. battery is good also.

  • The only thing that is cool in this phone is the camera. Da phone is big, ugly, and battery has to be charged every 2 days BUT If you take photos and record voice durin 1 hour...NO BATTERY I had it and, there r a lot of thing i never use.... the video is bad and only 10 seconds, speaker quality is low... If you want a GOOD Multimedia phone, get a NOKI, 6600 6260 6230 or Sony K700

  • anybody who wants to sell second hand CX65 contact me ...(malaysia)

  • "this phone is really crap and who ever buys it is a dick-head" Why do you say this? Is it really that bad? What do you guys think of the materials used in the phhone? Don't you think it it uses kind of fragile materials? Thanks in advance.

  • I wonder if it has filesystem. if so it's the best phone in its class and I'm buying it. tell me quick please mail me with the details (possesors please) : [email protected]

  • I owe siemens cx 65 for two weeks (Soft v.25).I have no problems with this mobile.It does not switch itself off,it didn't hanged even once.The screen is really good.I was nokia user,but now i see that siemens also creates very good mobiles (cheaper ones).I hardly recommend this phone!It is cheap and it is well equipped!!!

  • Could someone please tell me if sending pics to an email adress is possible and as well if it can take short memos, for ex record songs.If yes, what's the limit time, is it more than 1 minute?

  • does tis fone ave a usb like...

  • cool

  • very good mobile.the only think that missing is bluetooth

  • I must say Siemens has IMproved lot lot bcz i am a user of Siemens Mobile from a long time i just like siemens due to its Features The CX65 is Simply Excellent and lot of good Features eg, TFT 65K Colors, 40 Chords PolySounds, 10 MB User Accebele Memory, WAP 2.0, GPRS Class 10, VGA Camera (With Very good Result) and Irda.......... Its Simply Excellent i dont have words to explain it...........Well Done Siemens........

  • This phone can be called a "hanging maniac", beside all of its good features!!! everyone think to buy a nokia, whether it is ugly, heavy weighed or what so ever! it is the most sincere advise to all of you.

  • dors this phone have a usb

  • ok 10x 4 the info farhan

  • i am using siemens cx65 i am so worried about its stand by time it is too much low accoring to the terrif its satnd by time is 300 hours

  • Hey Azz u dont need to do 4 updates..but just upgrade yur firmware from ver 12..no matter what firmware version u have b4 and yes only the data cable is the way to update

  • Does Anyone know how to reset hotkeys after once setting them up? I cant sem to find that. It would be emarassing for the software creators if they havent made that possible :(

  • Check the records coloumn , it also does have all the features, i know not your job , but just an observation !!

  • hi, there! i'm thinking over buying cx65. i think cx65 is a great phone for such a price. i red almost all the opinions here. i'm concern about all the bugs people are talking about. the newest firmware sounds like a good decision. at there are a lot of variants, but if the firmware on the phone is for example v.8 will i have to do 4 updates to get to the 12th version, or? and one more question: is the serial data cable the only option to do the update if this could not happen at the mobile-store? can anyone help me with these, pls? thank you

  • i have a siemens cx65.i bought it last month.before cx65 i had a sony ericsson t610.t610 now costs 200$.and cx65 220$.so if anyone wants to buy a pone with almost these money,i surely recommend it.i am satisfied with its camera and its memory.it has a large monitor but it does not have bluetooth.

  • I've owned a CX65 since mid-July and I wish I'd never bought it. Many problems.... 1. Phone switches itself off after receiving email. 2. Slow to respond to keypad commands. 3. Unable to access the message menu. Select the yellow envelope icon and the screen goes a blank blue colour. 4. The phone has been losing its internet & email settings. Orange have sent them to the phone twice now. It has the latest v12 firmware installed. Phone now with the official Siemens UK repairer (Hays). They received it on the 24th September and I'm still waiting for it to be repaired (8th October) Customer Careline is next to useless. One representative became rather annoyed with me when I dared to complain. My advice? Steer a very wide berth around Siemens. I'm buying a Nokia 6230. �199 wasted - unless I take legal action against siemens for selling me goods not fit for the purpose they were advertised for.

  • Through This software u can run wav files in cx65 Can Any One Tell me why it take long time to open an sms and also when i delete it..ny suggestions????

  • Does anyone knows why can`t I make connection with PC via data cable although I installed software for CX65.

  • Does anyone know if you can turn the picture sound off. If you can, how?

  • sony ericsson and siemens handsets may be better designed aesthically than nokia nowadays, but if u want reliability day-in and day out, get a nokia...i know, coz i have used all these three brands...as for samsung i hate their designs

  • Hi, i have used three companies products quite frequently, nokia, samsung and siemens. samsung is rather confusing but i found the bugs in siemens only. whatever nokia and samsung make, they stand on it and it can not be said a bug e.g low ringing volume in samsung X-600. but in siemens, main problem is that the phone hangs up during operation. and it is impossible at all to use it with speed like we can use nokia and samsung. it seems to be an old computer whose hard disk has bad clusters! its IR works but looses connection on transfering a big file (like video)or multiple files (like 4, 5 jpg files together) at a time. one has to restart the computer and mobile again. this never happened atleast to me while using nokia. but this is a common complaint by CX-65 and M65 users!

  • it is good mobile phone.i have it and i don't have bad word about it.

  • (no space in between the address) this is where u can upgrade ur CX65 firware and some PC software for the cellphone =)

  • can somebody help me pls,,i really need to send this my pics to people

  • pls i bought my siemens cx65 in germany,,and am in Norway,,and i use norway number but i cannot send MMS and emails and i can receive MMs but canot be veiw,,,this is my mobile number in norway 004793214119,,,and it have this vodaphone configuration,,,and i use Netcom net work in Norway,, pls help so that i can send MMS and email ok,,for over one month now

  • I have notice the siemens company do not include Games on their mobile phones. So I wish to state that you start including that. Thank you.

  • hi.. may i know what and where can i find software which i can use on this phone to play wav music like wat Farhan said? And also can i upgrade my firmware to FW12 by transfering the thing through infrared ? Require abit of assistance, thank You. Yours sincerely.

  • i have been using this phone for the last 2 months. have upgraded it twice and now running it with FW12. i think all siemens mobiles are very un-predictable. with the increase in video time upto 1 min by FW12, video's pixels have been badly affected, also the frame rate (video speed). i wonder since when one has to keep on upgrading his phone like this! now i know the fact that with bigger and heavier handsets and smaller screens, why nokia is still on the top! anyway, whoever has taken it, try to enjoy it like as i am doing everyday ;)

  • Dear sir i have a lot of problem with this series,(CX65).also some times mobile has falt ( hanging,shotDown,clock,etc) anyway , please if possible help me. thank you

  • hey did anyone try to play music in wav format

  • i have just bought siemens CX65, but when i check IMEI No the product name is CX6C, is there any mistake? I also download software to my PC but it can not send sms or organise my HP from my PC via IrDA. anybody help me, phlease send to my email. Thanks.

  • i got this phone from starhub online e-shop for S$168(2yr plan)got the firware v12 ready with it, really value for money ! The screen display is really cool, overall, the only setback i feel is the ringtone - kinda soft ringing (duno if its becoz its 24polyphony or wat)the recording playback is soft too, handfree speaker is soft too (compare to M55 i am using too now)Anyone has any advise on the sound/ringtone/speaker?

  • For CatCat,type *#06#, than click `more`. The newest version is SW 12 or 14 i`m not sure

  • how to check if the phone has the latest version of the firware?

  • it is really very nice,please we want the price for a quqntity about 50pcs.

  • hi everybody this is an awesome phone..the only disadvantages r it lacks blue tooth,integrated flash,mp3 ringtones n a 3d engine for games..hmm the phone has a tendency towards hangin so upgrade ur cx with firmware software 12.. CAN ANYBODY PLZ PLZ PLZ TELL ME FROM WHICH SITE I CAN DOWNLOAD FREE CX65 JAVA GAMES N APPLICATIONZ VIA INFRARED..wap doesnt work in my country so plz make sure the site about which u state offers transfer of free games through infrared.. THANK U!! :)

  • its kinda slow but faster than mc60 if u want a fast phone buy a nokia

  • hi, i had siemens mc 60, very bad phone. it had very very slow procesor. now i want to buy siem. cx 65. can anyone tell me about his procesor, is it fast, or maybe slow?

  • Hi guys, does anyone knows how to download pictures and sounds from internat. I guess I need a driver for CX65. Where can I find it?

  • I just upgraded the firware 12 in my cx65.Improves camera quality.much better light at nite and video recording increases to 30 sec.u can play wav files on this but need a software that i found in yahoo.groups at cx-65 group

  • hi guys, any one knows whether this phone plays .wav file ?

  • Does anyone know, if you can transfer data (such as photos) with a USB DCA-510 to your pc with the CX-65??

  • Is there Voice dial and voice command? I think thats not.

  • i think that simens cx65 have a good desing and that is good that it has a big displsy,and i hope that it has good pictures cvolitu,and i think that it has good color

  • visit www.cx65.com there is an english manual

  • I need a manual as i lost my own, the siemens site only offers it in German. Is thereany other way i can obtain an english version. Thanks John

  • it is good modile i liek it i am going to buy it.

  • To Evand: no mp3. To Mobile User: if you would have read the specs good enough, than you saw there was no nightmode...

  • can it play mp3??

  • I have just bought CX65 and have gone to the service to upgrade its firmware to version 12. Now it is working fine. I highly recommend visiting your service to perform the upgrade. It is free within the warranty period. happy owner of cx65

  • What a disappointment a bulit-in camera without the night mode functions. Bought it and sold it the next day, lost a lot because no resale value. Worry to buy siemens phone again unless get free to try.

  • I think it's a very good phone, it's price is lower than the T630 but it has bigger screen, better cam (VGA) and more memory than the T630. I think it's the best choice for people who don't want to spend much. I am certainly going to buy it!

  • Can any new words add into the T9?

  • There's a good Siemens CX65 review at

  • it's avery good product but the covers didn't available in egypt markets

  • Cx65...Awesome phone with great display.ive bought it a month b4.but few problems..it hang sometimes and no bluetooth and no night option for camera.But Worth The Price.Can Anyone Tell me if the new firmware will solve this hang problem ??????

  • I just baught this phone today .... I love it ... its full of features and at a very very reasonable price .... no comparable phone in the market ... its simply awsome. But there is one thing ... if it had bluethoot ... it would have been much better .... but anyways ... its still the best. Camer is awsome and its screen size/colours are simply gr8. its not comparable with any other phine of same price range. I usually go for "value for money" ... & got it in this set.

  • !!!It is possible to turn off the camera sound!!! here is how it goes:

  • what well happen if i update the phone with the new firware ....

  • how long does the battery go's

  • it's good

  • super phone for this money

  • Used this CX65 and change to 6230 on the next day, way below my expectation. I think the best is still Nokia 6230.

  • Upender: shared memory is enough for my opinion. There are still lots of phones in the same category with 3-4MB; this is 11MB.

  • Shared memory is less.

  • can anyone tell me how to remove the camera sound?

  • To Ex-siemens CX65 user: idd, nokia 6230 has better features... but its almost 200EUR more(!) expensive than the CX65... The CX65 hanged 1 time in 4 weeks when I was taking pics. CX65 is good, but there are idd still a few bugs, firmware upgrade will fix most of these.

  • Look nice but not a nice working phone. I used only for 1 week and disappointed with the camera and video clip cos the phone always hanged, pictures very deem for indoor and video clips only 11 seconds. Finally, I got a small phone with everything-Nokia 6230. Best of the Best.

  • nice phone

  • I have It, is very stylish and menus are like windows softwafe like a Pc, the cam makes good pics and the screen is clear and colorful. You can change desktop themes, to sume up is the best mobile cause it offers a lot for olny 249 eur

  • this fone is seriously better than m65.it has got better features except shock resistant.

  • To Mio: for firmware update you need a serial cable (not an usb cable). You can find more info at www.siemens-mobile.com for different types of cables for CX65 (and others).

  • Hey again! I Finally bought this phone! And I love it VERY VERY MUCH! The design is very nice and cool. The phone has a big and very colourfull TFT-screen. I`ts very enjoyable to watch. Very melodical ringtones, nice quality on screen and very very good VGA camera! The camera makes REALLY good photos. I first thought, that phone makes little poor photos, but it was wrong, THE CAMERA makes VERY GOOD and nice photos. I like everything in this phone. Oh! And I have one question. Will I need some datacable or something to get a newest firmware? Could some help again!?

  • can any one tell about the ringtonez are they loud ... can we compare them with sonyericsson Z600 are there tribel or only base like simens A60

  • To Steve: I don't have any problems with calling. The sound quality is ok for me, no problems (but I don't call very much...). The over-all soundquality is good. Polyphonic ringtones and recorded sounds are represented fine.

  • Thanks very much Matti, I just meant, is it good at sound quality, and does it break down?

  • To matti: That's one more (phone user)who like to waste money by his/her own fault I quote one more time: I don't understand why people buy the phones first and then complain that there is no night modus or something else what they want the phone should do while there are plenty of (technical) information about the phone. Conclusion: - they can't read and can't compare other phones - they like to buy phones that are not in line with their needs and then complain about it - they like to waste money

  • To Phone Users: check the last messages pls, we've already had it a few times about nightmode + flash + digital camera and their relation with the price(!)... To Steve: I don't exactly know what you understand about "a day to day phone", but I can say the phone does its job very well. :-)

  • Not worth to buy! Not up to standard! No Night Mode for camera! Shocking to me! No Resale Values! No responses for my ad! Finally sold at a big loss, bye Siemens!

  • What's this phone like as a day to day phone?

  • OK! thanks Steve.

  • This phone do not have radio, mp3 and bluetooth. Compare to other phone at the same range, is it worth to buy???

  • You can send the pics to your e-mail address if you don't mind paying 30p or something.. It's cheaper in the long run to get a cable or bluetooth. The pictures from the camera are really great quality! I've made up my mind, I'm getting this phone! :P Steve

  • Allright! thanks Chng and Matti.

  • To Mio: 'firmware' is the systemsoftware (operating system) your mobile phone is running. With a serial cable (made by Siemens) you can upgrade your Siemens-phone to a newer firmware; it is with fixed bugs and a little(!) more features. Take a look at www.siemens-mobile.com for more imformation about the firmware v8 for the CX65 if you want to.

  • to Mio: Send pictures by infrared or by using data cable.

  • I have two questions. Is it possible to send pictures to computer?(I really want to know that)And what is firmware!? could someone help!

  • For pics: (look out for spaces when you copy/paste the url!). It can take a few seconds before all pics are loaded.

  • Cool, thanks mate! Has anyone uploaded some of their pics from this camera?

  • To Morter: it's possible to set the volume of the ringtones higher, but I think there's a bug in firmware 2 with that --> when I raise the volume, it doesn't have any effect (only in preview) :-s But if it works with newer firmware, the ringtones can damage your ears I think. ;-) Your right about the movie, 11s is not long. Actually I don't use it. Maybe longer videotimes are possible with newer (again) firmware, don't know... To Steve: the camera is very good, nice pics (for mobile phone!) at 640x480 max. You can zoom 5x (digital) and adjust the lightness. The video is at screen-resolution, but only for 11s... The TFT screen is very nice: big, colourfull (65536 colours), good contrast --> no negative comments for me.

  • At the Carphone Warehouse (a place where you can get phones in england) they are selling the phone with an atatchable flash, so that might be an option... Could someone answer my question below if they have time? It would really help :) Steve

  • it'impossible to remove the sound of the camera (that is obligatory for all recent phones)

  • Thanks Matti i am making my mind again :) just curious about its ringtones too, are these loud enough to hear while keeping in a pant pocked? or should we depend upon the vibrater like its other models C55, M55 etc? also, the movie, only 10 seconds maximum :( what was the need to include it? its like human animation. anyway, keeping price in mind, it is good :)

  • i have the same problem.. i don't know how to off the click sound made by the camera when taking pictures.. seems very loud and annoyiny.. any one knows how to disable it? i would be grateful to know.. thanks

  • What's the camera on this phone acatully like? Coz I'm confused about what phone to get, and there always seems to be mixed opinions..... And whats the video like? Is the screen of good quality? Please reply to my e-mail or here..thanks... I really want this phone, but dont want to be let down.. Steve

  • Siemen CX65 is now selling at SG$498. Should I buy?

  • Nice phone, but how the hell you can turn off the camera sound?!!!

  • To Morter: if you need nightmode, ok, but try to find a mobile phone for 249EUR with night-mode and all the other features the CX65 has... Lots of people are talking about "good" and "bad", but they totally forget the price. When you compare phones (or other things), you have to compare it with things within the same priceclass. By the way: there are still lots of phones with a CIF-camera, compared to them this is a very nice VGA camera (for instance: the nokia 6610i with CIF --> 239EUR :s)!

  • well people, although this is a mobile phone but night mode is a necessary part of a camera mobile phone. a camera in a mobile phone is prefered by ppl because it stays with them all the time. now if one wants to take picture at night, do he keep a torch or search light with him too, to use its blind camera??? i am really disappointed. i was about to buy it but thanks God, came here and saw this!

  • Thank you for an advice. Thanks a lot!

  • Can someone post some pictures taken with this phone? Here is where you can host your pictures for free and then post the links to the pictures on this board.

  • To the last "unknown person": we already said a few times that this is a mobile phone, not a digital camera. The camera is very good and I've no problems with taking pics at home. And if it doesn't work very good --> update firmware first. :-)

  • Nice looking but not a good working phone. Camera sucks....no nite mode, can't even take picture even at home where light are on (deem). The only good is the infrared, at least it work unlike like samsung (sort of dummy infrared).

  • I have thought a very long time which phone I would buy: Siemens CX65 or Samsung X600. Which is the better?!

  • For all those people complaining about the camera being crap and having no nightmode. Please remember, ITS A MOBILE PHONE. if you want to take pretty pictures of high quality, buy a digital camera. You wouldnt expect your TV to wash your socks would you??

  • it is very nice

  • For my opinion: the colors of the cx65 are very good, but I don't know how to compare it with m65. :-)

  • In my m65 no contrast contol and 10 steps of illumination but when you look at the white color you find it not that clear like st 55 or c-cf62 do cx65 have the same problem

  • To Perplexed: maybe you can do a firmware update to fix the problem? At siemens-mobile.com you can download firmware version 8 for the CX65 (not already tried it with mine, still running firmware 2). To ma'en: the CX65 can set a picture to full screen for background, but the logo's/indicators are overlapping the background of course (but isn't that logic? ;-) ). You can, however, replace the operator-logo to a transparant gif for example... You can't adjust the contrast (believe me, there is NO need for), but you can adjust the illumination in 10%-steps.

  • I recently received a CX65 from O2 here in the UK and it seems to have a fatal flaw: if you receive an email on it, the phone crashes (switches off). If you switch it back on the phone will crash again in about 30 seconds. The only way round this is to switch it back on, then get to the inbox quickly and delete the email. If you can do this before the phone crashes again then the phone will behave normally. It's the same no matter how big or small the email or whichever email account I send it from. O2 sent me a new phone yesterday and it's even worse: so far I'm unable to delete the email in time, so now my phone is completely unusable. Anyone else found this?

  • frankly speaking i got this for SGD$298 so is a budget phone for me.. camera is excellent.. if u want nightmode just like what Matti said "maybe the camera has no nightmodus, but you can attache an external flash if you really want. After all I payed 249EUR in Belgium; not very much for a phone like this. It's not only the nice screen and the good VGA camera, but there are also lots of nice details (it's nice to design your OWN themes"..

  • do you mean that cx 65 cannot show you full screen background like m65 or what and also who can make sure that this phone has contrast control or only illunmination

  • It's absolutely right some people just don't read the specs good enough. And idd, for good pics they invented the digital camera! The picture quality of the CX65 is very good FOR A MOBILE PHONE. And ok, maybe the camera has no nightmodus, but you can attache an external flash if you really want. After all I payed 249EUR in Belgium; not very much for a phone like this. It's not only the nice screen and the good VGA camera, but there are also lots of nice details (it's nice to design your OWN themes (http://www.club-siemens.net/fun/m65themes/index­.shtml), easy connection with PC, 2 white leds, handy filetree, ...). Of course there will be other phones with almost the same capabilities, but not all of theme have a price of only 249EUR...

  • i don't understand why people buy the phones first and then complain that there is no night modus or something els what they want the phone should do while there are plenty of (technical) information about the phone

  • the camera is much better than the se t630...please trust me on this! And for those people who want good pics try a digital camera!

  • the bestest fone by far certainly better than the nokia n-gage the on the cx65 are better than the n-gage plus it is a way cheaper going at 995564euro now where can you find a better bargain wou ld somebody please tell me because i think this is far too cheap forafone like this i have already bought one for all my friendswho all highly reccommend it so come on can any one give me a reason not to purchase this phone best phone ever highly reccomended by me and my friends

  • Franking speaking, this CX65 just don't have the cut. Even thought the screen look big but the pictures only can display in the centre (became small) as top the phone operator logo and below menus...What it most sadden me is that it does not have a night mode function, taking pictures at home or night simply don't work... Franking speaking, I don't think this is a bubget phone as it bought at S$488 but only able to sell at 338 after 3 days. I think with the price S$488, SE T630 will be a much better choice. Goodbye CX65!!!

  • Frankly speaking after using for 1 week, i feel this phone is good for budget-tight users.Good camera and video, but video only 11sec, big lcd screen, hard to sms because of low key buttons and function assigned to each key seems different from most phones. The handset also hangs at times, and it is advisable not to change sim card or battery frequently because of the tight and almost hard to remove cover, especially the sim card can't be pulled out sometimes. Camera also has no night mode. Good 40 chords polyphonic tones. Thats all i think about the siemens cx65. i would recommend it to those who are looking for a budget wise phone with basic features.

  • By the way, I'm a resller in Hong Kong. This phone is selling pretty well. People like the big display and nice design!

  • Camera is useless at night or indoor because no night mode. Video only can record 11 seconds and always hanged. Regret bought this phone and had to sell off quick as no resale values and no demand. No more siemens for me.....

  • Hey I wanna buy a new phone and I am beetween this and sharp GX15.I also like Sagem MY-V55.Which do you think is the best?

  • Very nice phone. I bought one for my brother as a gift and he loves it so much. He said it is better than his Nokia. I think I better get 1 for myself. =)

  • first please excuse my english (because i'm french) i bought this phone 3 days ago and i am totally satisfied with it : - very very nice screen, luminous and contrasted (what is not usual with siemens phones) - good design, light and quite small - good camera - very complete (a lot of options including the photocall, voice recording, the possibility of modifying its photographs, and contrary to what some people ( who certainly have not tested it) say, the keypad is not so small compared to other ones, and it is less slow that some other siemens. -a lot of memory (11M) what is enough to save some 170 photographs with a resolution of 640*480 -the battery is good however, the rings are ugly and at the beginning, it is quite diffult to cope whit to menu and the many ways to do the same thing but finally, one realizes that it is arranged well ... -the materials used are good, except maybe that of the lid of the battery but it is very correct but : it does not read the mp3 and does not have a tuner. -a bit expensive --> I RECOMMEND IT HIGHLY

  • It's the K700 that's shit. SonyEricsson is a hugely overrated brand; I'm hoping it will collapse soon.

  • Buy a k700, much better then this piece of sh*t.

  • is this phone good i'm looking for new one i want to know more about it

  • Should I buy this or Motorola V525?

  • If you think the keypad is too low, the S65's is even lower!

  • 247 us dollar in DUBAI

  • I bought a CX65 and I was very pleased. Pro's: very good TFT screen, lots of settings to choose from, very good VGA camera, enough memory 4 pics (at the moment I've space for 170 pics at 640x480), 2 cool flashing white LEDS,... Contra's: not always fast (the slowest thing is when you download/upload stuff from/to your CX65 with the PC, of course), keypad is placed a bit too low, standard ringtones suck. About the physical quality: it needs time to find out... I really suggest this phone by cause of its very good price/performance ratio. If you want to offer the fact that it's slow from time to time and you can live with the "a bit too low keypad" --> buy it! And by the way: before this phone I had a nokia 3330. It's really not *that* difficult to find your way into Siemens-menus.

  • It's rubbish! Plasticky and ugly. The screen is nice and big, but this means that the keypad is too far down to be comfortable. And yes, it is very slow...

  • What is the price? When will it be available in Malaysia?

  • In Hong Kong,you can buy it with HK$1980, it's about 204� Do you know how to turn off the sound when taking photos?I really don't like the sound.

  • is it faster than m55? cos m55 is da slowest mobile ive ever seen.And is the Samsung X600 better than CX65? thanx

  • When is it available in Malaysia? I hope its price not more than RM 1100.00 - Malaysian Dollars!

  • i like this phone alot!but i guess it's a bit expensive,i was surely gonna buy it:( donno if i will!!

  • how much of da memory iz free

  • which is better? CX65 or M65?

  • is it slow like all siemens are? please help!

  • it`s ok but i can`t find data suit for cx65

  • May I know can this phone download mp3 software?

  • 2. some problem has occurred during operation of video recording (cannot be operated). I think this is everyones problem with this one....waiting for softa update.

  • SANJA. Jeah, but u must commit with operator with is illegal in finland.

  • Watch out when you copy/paste the link from my previous message. When you paste the link; delete the possible space in the url!

  • For lots of pictures, check Note that it takes a while untill all pics are loaded.

  • I just bought this phone a couple days ago. The appearance is excellent. However, I have faced below problems: 1. The phone has jamned very often during searching the menu. 2. some problem has occurred during operation of video recording (cannot be operated). 3. Once a while, a message of "out of memory" pop up while I have not installed anything yet except 4 complimentary ringtones. 4. When listening to the poly for a long time, the phone shut down by itself. I wonder there is a QC check prior to launch to the market....

  • In Serbia and Montenegro/Europe/ this phone is available for 240 Euro (tax included)!!! Regards...

  • In Lithuania you can buy it for 0.3EUR (with a 3-year contract). SIM free - 170EUR.

  • Got 1 yesterday and I'm very happy with it! I made the right decision. I think this is one of the best Siemens phone so far! Good job Siemens!

  • Are there any example photos from this phone camera?

  • Class fone! My mate has got a camera nd video fone nd it's reasonably good but absolutely massive! It's crap in comparison to this mobile nd he's gonna be SOOOOO jealous! lol Cheers Siemens! I wud say this is ur best design yet nd i'll definitely be getting it. Great deal 2!

  • Hi, can anyone tell about the picture quality and video quality too. i wonder no one wants to talk about video! also, that how much screen area does the video capture on the computer?

  • 280� in Finland Sim-free unlocked. Tax-rate 22%

  • 259� in portugal (unlocked & sim free)

  • a good set

  • Hi, can anyone tell about the picture quality and video quality too. i wonder no one wants to talk about video! also, that how much screen area does the video capture on the computer?

  • My baseline's kuhz#main_1.0_V93.8, whatever that is. Don't think the upgrade's out yet, I'm checking for it later, the bugs are quite minor and not giving me prob currently. Mine only losses the signal when I'm in certain areas deep in my company where reception is really bad, yours like that? This isn't a forum, get in touch through [email protected] if wanna compare notes, thanks!

  • You mean SW-Version me it was written 02 Baseline : kuhz#main_1.0_V93.5 I don't find anything on club siemens about firmware update on CX65 can you give exact link please thks Riamfada

  • Hey Fonzie, I just got mine 3 days back and the 1 of the bug I've encountered is also the signal lost that requires a 'reboot'. Other bugs are like the backlight remaining on when charging unless you lock the keys 1st. It's a software issue it seems. I understand that Siemens are coming up with a firmware upgrade to fix the glitches, a Version 6. MY firmware's V4. You can visit www.club-siemens.net for more info, or check out the corporate website www.siemens-mobile.com. Heck, I still think it's an awesome phone, heheh.. Hope V6 comes out soon

  • Here in belgium I bought it 259 euro. But I had to bring to the shop 2 times, but same problem on 2 : when you listen to melodies sometimes the sound disapear and the network is lost you are obliged to turn it off, or sometimes it turns off alone. I think it's a sofware problem. the shop give me the money back and they will wait for the next shipment. someone have had this problem with this phone ??? that's a shame becoz it was really good ...

  • hello i just wanted to know if anyone here knows the cheapest price i can buy this fone for on pay as you go or handset free because i want to buy my sister it because she loves it and i want 2 surprise.if you can help then plz tell me.

  • I love dis phone it is smart and a must have i am definitly goin to get it as me parents ave sed dey will gt it 4 me i am really excited but on the web it dont say how much it is

  • Im just wondering which phone will be better between the Siemens C65, Siemens CX 65 or the NEC N820? Which phone will u choose and why ?

  • Price in Belgium is about 250EUR! I think it's very cheap compared with the features this phone has. The only thing that bothers me is that I don't know the physical quality of the phone. I've a Nokia 3330 since 3 years and it's still alive: no keypad probs after thousands of sms's, no screenprobs, it felt many times... and it's still alive! Is it possible with Siemens to let your phone survive with this conditions, just like Nokia? :-)

  • Nice,durable...

  • Everything is just perfect in this phone but the speaker is a crap compare to panasonic for example

  • There is only 3 worst things in this phone: 1.Lacks of Bluetooth 2.Lacks of SD/MMC/expandable memory card 3.Not available for EDGE (still OK, eq.to its price) 65536 colours TFT must be enough as well as 40 chords polyphonic ringtone, GPRS class 10, Java MIDP 2.0, 1000 ph.book entries, 760 SMS characters.

  • Nokia, SE, Samsung, can you beat this? I highly doubt it, because it's invincible Well done Siemens

  • Its looking good, but I'd like to see what i want to buy! That's Siemens M65. Where may I buy it? Please send e message me, to Hungary. Thank's Bata Bal�zs

  • The price in Serbia&Montenegro (ex Yugoslavia), Europe, is 300 eur.

  • i love your product

  • you can get this phone in slovenia(europe)but its locked on operator(mobitel) for 80 euros :)

  • The price in Europe will be around 300 euros and it will be available very soon

  • CX65 will be launched in Singapore on June 16! Around Euro 250.00! Very reasonable price for such a nice phone. I have played with the prototype, and I should say this is one of the best Siemens phone. Nice display, clear speaker, interesting menu and easy to use. No doubt it is going to sell well!

  • does it have a memory card slot ?

  • Is there a possibility to integrate in this machine a radio?

  • good!

  • Guys, Any idea if Siemens S65,M65,C65 and CX1 are available in Singapore or not and what are the prices of the same models.

  • Great phone,but does anyone have a price for it. I'll very much appreciate it if someone could e-mail me back asap

  • when CX60 will be in Thailand? Could you offer estimated price? Battery Li-Ion 750mAh what's different from normal Li-Ion.

  • siemens cx65 is the best siemens i think. its a coooooool phone

  • I wait your advices here: [email protected] thnxalot

  • I can not get anywhere a version of java-midlet ChessBuddy (product of Coffebreakmedia, Niek van Nielsen) wihich one perfectly fit to my Siemens C55 screen. I have the version 1.0 and 1.2 but they work with SL45. Could you give me some advices? (Here, in Hungary, in the heart of Europe I can not order it on net, there is no commercial place for it.) Anyway, C55 was the best, and cx65 what(I) will the best

  • Played with the prototype... It sure is great! Camera is nice, it gives fine pictures and videos(limited to 15 sec), and there is small chanse for it to be scrachted. Plastick cover, as well as the kypad, is cracky and loosy, it feeels like it is going to fall of, but it is not. Screen is one of the best. Better than one on new models from Samsung. It is just more colorful. Menus look cool, they are interesting, yet easy to use(and not to menion that there are some great themes in the phone, and that icons are very pretty). I dont't know about the price, but it is worth of some 200 $/ EUR to invest. And if you are considering to buy this phone or some of those from Nokia(7250,7250i,6220), I really recomend this one. It has almoust all those things Nokia does + better cammera, realy loud and clear ringtones, excellent audio recording/playing, and the java is working faster. I may say that although it does have less memory than K700, this phone can ever cometit with SonyEricsson's top model, K700.

  • what different compare with C65?

  • just the best phone!

  • showing the price range will make surfing more fun.

  • I wonder when does this fone appear in Singapore? I think dis fone is very special and has the features I want. Cool. N I wonder the price too...

  • Cheap and faboulous Phone, I Love it.

  • suck M you are fucking wrong siemens have 80 % defects in all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • kurt: yes buy the alcatel, the phones with 45% defects, I will stick with siemens...

  • The company saved interesting models for Europe, such as Alcatel OneTouch 556 which will become the replacement for 535. From now on the phone which costs around 200 dollars features VGA-camera, ability to playback and record videos, 2mb of memory, 40-tone polyphonic ring tones, Java, tri-band and IrDA. The most important innovation is the screen with 128x160 pixel resolution that can display up to 8 text lines. It is made on cSTN technology, and is capable of showing up to 65000 colors. In reality the display looks fittingly, but does not shock your imagination, it lacks live feeling. On the other hand, if we compare this product to Siemens CX65, I come to the conclusion, that its screen quality is better, as well as other combined specifications. Even if the lower price is not considered, the phone still looks nice and interesting. If it is released on the market before May, it will be able to keep up company’s sales in this segment. go get alcatel phone

  • Just facts: I had chance to play 10 minutes with these candy and it is great aldo resolution of LCD is maybe to low for dimensions. Sorry but price wont be so low - start price is above 300 euros for SURE (my uncle works in siemens germany) But he says it will fall to 220 to 280 euro on end of year (it depends mostly how easy it will be sel on high start price)

  • good and beauty

  • @ Pete: In Austria it's available in May for around 250 euros (unlocked)

  • when is it available in belgium?

  • Do any one know how much isit?

  • good design, good facility, good price???

  • wow..very good design! but i think its lack in userfriendly...alcatel 756 is better with 265k screen,support for almost all ringtone format,video cam

  • This is a kickass phone! The design is great!

  • To Monalika, usb port is a port available in the phone on which u can connect the usb cable. MPEG player is a movie player can be used to view the recorded video or MPEG files. 3D audio i m not sure abt it but its a 3D sound system.and MP3 reingtone tats just a MP3 files which can be used as ringtone. well tats alll.. lolz..

  • please tell me whats usb port and MPEG player ??? whats - 3D audio, MP3 ringtones ??

  • Hey if you want a phone with this design but with MUCH BETTER features get the O2 Xphone instead.The screen on the xphone is bigger too and the cam is soooo much better res(the xphone is using a REAL LCD screen people)

  • What the f*ck! I gotta have this phone!!!!

  • 11 MB Memory and TFT 65K L.C.D. in siemens sounds great, if it is Made in Germany instead of Tiwan.

  • the first phone from Siemens that looks like a decent phone. I'll start to search in future for Siemens phones too. By the way... beated by design "my nr.1 looking phone" Motorola V600. Good work Siemens ;)

  • 225 euro? In which country?

  • Cheap phone with excellent features: EUR 225 (unlocked)

  • cheap phone!!!

  • wooooow !!!! amazing, charming design ! if you need mmc, radio, mp3, please buy another god damn sonysuckingericsson phone! this phone is cool, i love it! when arrive in jakarta? pt. dian graha kapan dong masukin barang bagus ini!!!, jangan mau ketinggalan sama nokia terus!!!, st60 jangan dimasukin!!!

  • holy crap! this fone will not be released in the fuckin usa. damn those dumdasses at siemens!

  • Well to say my opinion, i was very happy to see that siemems released 2 new phones. but to me, the sx1 seems better

  • for more info on this one check out the link below:

  • That 's sound good .

  • you can get more information on www.cx65.com

  • I love this phone!!!! I will get it on the first day of release!!

  • Why no MMC, no radio, no MP3, nothing NEW, Siemens are moving very slowly. SL45 is better than this.

  • Greeat

  • Hi It reminds me to SL45 I think it goes to become the best but i had not saw it in iran

  • Best look... i love it.. itz the best siemens ever!!!!

  • is it better..??

  • good phone mans it is hte best phne it beat 9210i and hte p 900

  • gosh...! no radio.. :(

  • Great, great great phone!!! I think it's time for me to get a new phone, eventhough i'm using SL55 and I'm very satisfied with it!!!

  • I LOVE IT!!! Looks great.. Only thing i would change is the camera.. They shoud've made it at least 1024x768... I can live with that

  • superrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

  • sung to the tune of "Happy birthday" May this phone be so cool that we'll all turn to fools when we see this phone finally... we will all step on doo! And that's all I have to say about this.

  • its a cool one

  • oh my God it is a nice mobile but it is Siemens and you know that Siemens Sucks!!! its like you have a Hundai Nice looking one and comparing it to a regular Toyota or BMW. the better performance is for BMW or Toyota !! the same thing is for Siemens Sonyericcson is better alot better ! infact the number 1 mobile in the world!

  • BLUETOOTH... sheesh i don't need it. as if it's the end of the world if your fone has no bluetooth.

  • I don't no witch one I shall buy The cx65 or sx1 can anyone give me advice

  • da best ! I want CX65 to be my next phone... just.. da best! I'm waiting for S series...

  • A piece of jewelery

  • It's simply great! the infra red is a really stupid flaw we cant ask for bluetooth here, but the usb port is a logic alternative (even if it can't connect you with other devices), besides that it could have a XVGA (1MP or more) camera, like most phones nowdays... the price will be more or less the same as the MC60 (that's good!!) It could be my next phone!!!

  • guys, enough with bluetooth already.:) remember that this is only a c-series (mid-range). look for it in the next S or ME series, CeBIT is just around the corner.

  • I agree, this phone looks awesome but Siemens one major flaw is the inclusion of Bluetooth. This phone looks the stuff though, it rocks.

  • TFT-screen and bluetooth are missing

  • really cool features. to be perfect Siemens should have used TFT screen :) looks great...!

  • The features is getting greater and greater. Charmful pretty fashioned design. Good 65K color screen with very large resolution. Big memory and some indenpendent phone features include Java, MMS, USB port, Camera with additional flash, and the others. But I think Siemens will lack of Bluetooth and Infra-Red for every next products. Maybe, they're preparing for next generation of data transfer solution which better than Infra Red and faster than Bluetooth. Any guess ? And how much is the price of it ?

  • does it have a memory card slot ?

  • looks nice! features are great too!

  • Nice phone i like it!! Is this the real sucessor of the c55? Is it expensive?
