Siemens SL55 - User Reviews

  • This phone is durable, I washed him, and he worked after I dry him :D

  • Bought one for 2 euros from a flea market. When i got home i hooked it up to a charger and it started up right away but it was locked on a foreign network. Swapped the mainboard from another one that i had dismantled in one of my junk boxes and it works great! Love it!

  • The best looking phone ever fashion design like faberge egg best

  • replacement batteries are still available for the SL55 - I got one earlier last year. Design is a little different to the Siemens but the phone will still work - have mine for over 5 years now and only on the 2nd battery - despite no camera its the best phone ever made

  • I consider this phone to be my all-time favorite even though technology has advanced rapidly through the years thus rendering it, sadly, obsolete... I just love its tiny size and its excellent features! Who said Siemens mobile phones were worth nothing?

  • Hi, you can buy it from e-bay for around 25-30 UK pounds or 50-60 US dollars. I have two of these which bought from e-bay.

  • I think I have seen them in my country today trinidad and tobago 868-682-1016 or [email protected]

  • I bought this phone a few minutes ago on the internet for 25 euro. It was me best phone ever so i am glad to have it again.

  • its my dream phone,but now stopped making,can any one tell if i get the same size phone any where in the world,pls reply back to [email protected]

  • Its Over 5 Years old, is Still works the Same as it did then, Great Quality Mobile, Well Built, Good Design, & Cute, So it has'nt got the Features of a Modern Phone, but Aleast its Durable & Will Last a Very Long time.

  • how do i change from chinese to english

  • What!! Released in 2003!! No way. I saw this on a new billboard!! The same one!! I'm serious!! Is my area getting old stuff?? PS: Don't bother to reply. This is'nt a question

  • it's marvellous, a model to be proud of, i keep on replacing screen and belt,easy to handle in my pocket, super star during its time.

  • i got my sl55 last january 2005 and up to now i'm still using it... it's a very user friendly phone and cute as can see... 1 of my friends once thought that it was my mouse...coz my phone is on my table near to my pc...hehehehe

  • Great phone, advanced technology for its time. I'm using it for more than 3 years, some keys r not responding from time to time, but i'm still using it. When i got the SL75, i had nothing but trouble. So i went back to my SL55. Its really a shame that Siemens had sold the mobile section to BenQ. Now there is no maintinance or support for thier previous models.

  • i remember i had it for 1 yr and few months. one day during winter, it just stopped working. i think it had battery issues or program issues or maybe it's too cold for the phone to work. I still love that phone very much. it upset me when i called for siemens help support, they cannot help me either. they told me get a new phone. After 1 yr, no warranty. it's kinda sux.

  • I used like phone for 1.5 year about 4 years ago....even after I stopped using it I still kept it because it's such a cool little phone. By the way, the reason I stopped using it it's because it was left it in my jeans and it went through a wash cycle plus 30 minutes in the dryer (because it's so small, it's easy to forget). And you know what happened? I air-dried it and it worked for another 2 weeks before it stopped accepting charge and eventually the battery died. This is what I called incredible reliability.

  • This was my first phone. I fell in love with it when I saw it in TV. But I used it for 2 months because i saw a new Nokia phone. It was too small and I have a big hand.Anyways I loved it. But it does not have a built in camera.That's not really good. I still looks great and i miss is very much.

  • had this phone for less than a year.. something went wrong, people here have no idea how to fix it.. but it was my smallest phone..

  • Had this phone for 6 years now dropped and bashed more times than I care to think of. Have since tried to convert to a newer model but I always go back to this one. It does exactly what a phone should do; ring & text, no more no less. Still looks as modern as the day it was released. I could happily use this phone for the rest of my life.

  • wonderful phone i search a small siemens with camera like this small and good for year's

  • i had the phone for like half a year but then the keyboard stopped working=/ i guess it is dust...

  • i have this phone since 4 years :) yes 4 yeas with alot of drops on the floor and still working! for one thing, MADE IN GERMANY ;)

  • It's a cool phone, The size is great & I also like the colours..

  • its a gud 4n if u like small handsets like i do, been using it 4 over 2yrs with no problems at all. a few things have put me off, low memory 1.62mb, low screen resolution and time it takes to fully load its software when u switch it on.

  • the sl55, one of the best fones ive ever had.the size is the best thing i liked.so small i sometimes had to touch to feel it is in my pocket.regret selling it but had to beig offered a good price.nways one of the coolest fone.........

  • my mobile phone siemens sl55 is already not in use,because,i really don`t kno`w where i am going to go for repair. i have already to go somes other technician here in cebu philippines..they said..they cannot repair it,because,they have no more somes materials. i want to continue to use this unite,but,please,tell me..where i am going to go,to repair it,please reply. thank you in advance and more power..from your costumer..ma.shiela s. mestula of cebu,philippines

  • I using this phone about 3 years. Now it is old , but still fuc*** awsome phone. sometimes i can't find it in my pocket. :) i am looking for a new one, but i still can't waist it. :)

  • SL55 Sexy!

  • this phone is already 5 years since announced and lauched. i just wanted to take great view of those great innovations given by the phone manufacturers SE, Nokia, Samsung, Panasonic and Siemens and motorola which shocked all users back in the year 2003... seems like it's good looking back the history!

  • it is called the silent alert...haven't tried it yet though! good luck!

  • how can i sette the vibration,

  • i loved this fone its great the graphics arnt great but good enough but the size is perfect it fits nearly everywhere i no its old but its a brilliant fone i recomend you buy it

  • not enough asories available. unable to downoad necessary items.

  • note this done is years old compared to todays standards it isnt that great of a fone but wen it came out it was rlly good

  • "What we have to remember guys is that this was one of the first color screen phone and at the time all 4 years ago. it was a must have phone!" Quote form belcup I dont know wat u guys are talking about ive now had the phone for 3 yrs and still going strong although the display may be a bit primitive, remeber it was one of the first colour phones and it was one of the smallest. Just the little guy some credit.

  • Worst phone ever! Siemens get it through your head you can't makes phones! stop trying.

  • i agree with ivan its true the worst ever phone to me :( a long time ago i went in carphone warhouse and the had a live version u could hav a go with it. the graphics r son poor the ringtones are very poor i listened to them in the shop. see i like slide phone i think there cool but now ive gone off them i dont no y mabye it was this phone right now ive got k300i but im soon gettin the w810i so if ppl wanna by this phone dont ull regret it and the buttons r so small i cant believe how small. this phone aint good 4 ppl with not very good sight so i recommed you dont by this very small ridiculous phone. charlie

  • Gah! This is a horrid phone! I was given it by a friend when my Sony Ericsson T610 was stolen, and it is just so horrid! The display is tiny, the graphics are poor to say the least, the ringtones sound terrible! I really wouldn't recommend it to anyone! I actually got rid of it, (i.e. binned it) to trade it in for a Nokia 8210 which I love to bits. If you are thinking about buying this phone, second hand or not, DON'T! It sucks, big time!

  • it is simply the best,every thing is best as seen by the releasing date,i have no problem ever in one and a half year,i have 4 mobile and this one i bet in design and options r grt.

  • This phone was my 2nd mobile...its design was very pleasant but the internals very poor at least on the one I bought from Telstra....after 3 repairs and being replaced I consider the phone too fragile...for moderate to low usage ok

  • I baught Siemens SL55 from November 2005. I love it, I need no more. It hanged twice but I love it, sometimes it is slow, but I love it. It has a very little storage memory, it is not good, but I can manage and still love it. It is strong and cut. Oussama

  • perfect

  • i love my little phone,but the screen has gone scratchy and not clear any longer,is there a replacement screen for the above phone thanks rowan

  • I have the siemens sl55 black, but my cel phone usually blakout in the system, and in Brazil the assistence long time to solucions and will return the problem is fall. what i do?

  • This is an old phone now and you need to remember that. I've had this phone for about a year now and I use whenever I need to go out (like pubs, bars and clubs ect.) Its nice and small and it fits almost everywhere. I the above mentioned points should be the main reasons for choosing it - its seize. The funtions are, by todays standards, appalling and I'd personally only recommend it as handset number two or to people who cares more about the seize and less about functions. However that said its a great phone in terms of quality. It does exactly what you want it to, whenver you want its to do it. No lacks, no freezing and no complications whatsoever. All in all a recommendable phone...

  • m9EH what the hell are you going to do with a IR and bluetooth when the phone can store only 1.6 MB storage, you cant even store a picture.

  • i am getting this phone and i need to no all the details my friend told me it had infared and bluetooth but doing resaerch it sowed me it hasnt got bluetooth im not too sure about infared heeeeeelp.:D

  • This is a smart phone.you should buy it and you will see good sites of this phone

  • I have the SL56 which is the Canadian version of this phone. I have been using it for approx 2 years now. I absolutly love this phone. The reception is gr8 but the sound quality could be better. I also must have droped this phone and it takes a lickin and keeps on tickin. I love this phone and its cheap now of ebay

  • This phone is quite enigmatic. All I saw are I love this, I hate this, best phone ever, worst phone ever... I am quite confused. OK, the best thing you can do right now for understanding this phone is to buy one and have your own opinion. But do not post it here :)

  • It's a great mobilephone. I used to use & still using it, it gives me the feeling that I have something special. Although it's old, but still distinc.

  • Signal sucks!! Batery time even worse. lose calls al the time. Terrible display. the only good thing is that the batery recharges in less tha 1.5 hours

  • I really don't like this phone. I lose calls all the time and it randomly turns off. I have had this phone for maybe three months and I am buying something else.

  • hi there am an ex cpw employee and this time last year this phone was on sale for 89.99. i purchased it to use as a second phone. Since then i have lent it to a lot of people and it still remains in my drawer and is a great phone. Altho the build quality isnt great by any means and the display is terrible it does what its ment to generally well. What we have to remember guys is that this was one of the first color screen phone and at the time all 4 years ago. it was a must have phone!

  • I thing so this cell phone its really beautiful, but It hasn't characteristics as integrated camera or bluethoot Wireless technologhy. Anyway, it isn't my kind of cell phone.

  • I have had my siemens for a long time, this is a very strong phone. This phone has been through alot with me, it fell in about 7 inches of water, i dropped it over a 100 times, i dropped it so hard once the screen even cracked and phone continues to work without any problems at all. I am ready to change and get an up to date cell, but I feel I will never find another quality phone like the siemens SL55 because I've been through several phones and this one has lasted the longest.

  • The worst phone I've ever had!! I've had it for only 10 months and I already feel like buying another phone. All of a sudden, the SMS messages can be erased, the phone turns itself off and you don't even realise... I don't recommend it =/

  • i have had this phone for some time now and it wont let me send or recieve calls it will only let me recieve and send text can some one help me please

  • I have the SL55 it is ok! I believe it's for anyone including men, women, teenagers etc... The colour screen isn�t the best and the camera is very poor... My phone has a good signal I can hear very well and people on the other end say they can hear me fine! If you are thinking of getting one just KEEP in mind that this Mobile is a little older so you can't expect to be as good as the more recent mobile phones of today... But if your looking for a Mobile that just does what a mobile should like make and receive calls and send and receive text messages GET ONE... if you want something more recent or advanced go for the Samsung D500 great in all ways!! And it�s a slide phone as well!!! But for me I love my SL55... I am a married woman with 2 small children I don�t some fancy dancing phone I only use my Mobile when needed� And I have a digital camera that is better than any mobile phone could have�

  • Terrible phone! Drops calls and turns itself off

  • I've had the phone for almost two years now and I'm quite satisfied. As all phones it's not perfect - after a year or so two keys stopped reacting, so I had to take it to the service point to have it repaired. It tends to freeze for a minute when you close the slide while it's preforming an operation. Also you can't set up voice memos as ringtones nor can you send them via MMS/email. It's overall slow, the games tend to load a couple of minutes, it thinks a good few seconds before accessing the phone book etc. Also, after almost two years the display is losing colour and bleaking - it's become quite dark and contrastless and I predict that in two/three months it'll display no colours but black, white, blue and yellow. Upsides? Well, it's plain sweet. ;)

  • hi well i got this mobile n in the 2nd month of use it had this problem of freezing n then the keypads spoilt n literally came off...n on the whole it looks good n stylish but the features r limited n the keypads are horrible.

  • IS THIS A WOMEN'S PHONE? i am verry curious because i want to purchase one and i am not sure........pls some 1 help me

  • Hi all Can I update the firmware by the USB datacable? or only by the serial?? I've downloaded the firmware, but it only detects COM1 and COM2. My data-cable is set on COM5. How do update now??? Thanks for help. ([email protected])

  • Am a phone lover, had always been changing new phone once every 3-4 months but since purchasing this one in 2003 on my trip to HongKong, am still using it and it's been almost 2 years. Have not had any problems, so stylish, anyone who sees this phone had great compliments. Love it!!!Love it!!!Love it!!!

  • this is another great phone....cool design....it's got camera. one of my 1st camera phones. its got colour. its got MMS. it play my library of Siemens handphone games well....this thing ROCKS and RAVES.....all 3G phones should look like this......

  • is its IR compatibale with that of sonyericsson k500i.

  • hi ..... i have just got the fone and it is great....don't know what yous are all talking about every fone freezes !!! but the fone is stylish and sophisticated looking and VERY classy I love it !!! the ring tones are great my pals all want it !!!

  • I bought this phone for my wife. It is a waste of money. Ringtones are very limited and volume is poor. Very disapointed..

  • It's a great phone other than the reception. The reception is the worst i've ever had. Wonder if there's anything that can help that.

  • I brought this phone specially for my mom, she's very happy because all her friends want. I recomended this phone because is very sophisticated and very friendly, and the most important is SIEMENS.

  • i own the limited edition black sl55 since the past year and i'm very satisfied with it. the battery life is adequate, the range and sound quality are both good. it seems pretty sturdy for a slide-phone and the slide works great even after i accidently dropped it a couple of times. what is lacking is bluetooth and a 65K+ colours screen.

  • is a good phone.the best phone ever from SIEMENS.(but is a little expensive.

  • i think that the important thing we all look for is the size of phone and this cell have this advantage and i think it is the smallest one ever

  • hi ! can any1 temme wheather dis cell have voice recorder i mean if i wanna record some1 voice can i do it wid it cuz i really like dis mobile n feel like buyin it

  • my mum has this phone and its great so, i have just proved a point not just teenages hav this phone, and many people dont like nokia, most people think there so out, siemens, samsung and moto are the new fase get with the generation today not 2 years ago! i totally is recommened this phone.

  • This phone is one of da best phones ever invented by siemens. its design is kool and is small n its feature r betta then the s55 which is betta siemens s55 or siemens sl55??? besides from that ist the best!!thxs!! (.)(.)

  • heya i just got this phone i think that its really good and i agree with the fact that it has a good design but sometimes it does freeze so thats about the worst i'd have to say oh yeah and the pictures you recieve from infared sent from other phones are grainy and thats it but i like the size and its features is good but i don't like that you have to buy an attactable camera!-overall its good

  • ANZEL that red thing on the main screen means that your IRDA is switched on.

  • OK I got my Siemens SL55 at the begining of the year and I'm just so fed up of it now that I'm getting a new one. You have to put a camera in it to take pictures, which are crap anyway (only 4000+ colour screen) so my pics look grainy and brown. Two buttons have all ready broken. It takes forever to do a task as it freezes all the time. If I loose my signal I have to put it off and on again or I won't get it back. The slide isn't spring loaded. So the only good thing about this phone is that the internet is free (which I never use anyway) and the design. Apart from that it's a piece of crap. Don't buy it- don't buy any Siemens. Samsung is the new Nokia! I'm glad I got to tell you about this phone. byeee

  • It,s lovely,beautifull,cool,cute,I love it

  • this phone is really bad in quality dont be suprised if you txt msg then i recommend its not for you the small crystal keypad is difficult to type and gets loose after a year

  • this is da most stupid phone ive ever own,it hang's up,till u remove da battery,plse people if u can tackle dis i might think of going back 2it.it such a good looking phone, but tha prob z hangin up.plse upgade as soon as u can,cant go on wit it like dat, better get ma self a nokia 6600

  • it is an very interesting phone and i like it so much that's why i've made this phone a Chrysmass present for my wife. This is specially created for ladies. But... i don't know why it stops some time by him self without to pragrame him because it's a task that ask you if you want that your phoneto be closed at an hour that you specify.Why? this is the question.....

  • london lee is a nokia sales!

  • I love this phone because of the design but the reception is horrible!

  • is the best

  • nice

  • it is very beautiful

  • i think is the best phone .i like it very much it is smart end beautiful.

  • What's up with the text alert volume on this phone ? The only way you would know that you had a text was if you were holding the thing up to your ear. Not good. beautiful though. sad to return it but this really is a problem that siemens should tackle.

  • I love the SL55, i had my phone for just under one year and have just upgraded for the SL65, but the 55 looks better and is smaller, yes i've had a few problems - i.e. it freezes but just leave it alone and it sorts itself out, probably the best phone i've had and i'm keeping it incase i don't like the SL65

  • thts not very nice i hav 10 times as much taste in phone as u so dont put the younger generation down

  • I can't find in the menu, the option of vibration..but the phone vibrates when it rings...where can I find it?

  • WHAT A RUBBISH,POOR EXCUSE AS A PHONE ... only good thing about this phone is how it looks. keys are too small for anyone except DWARFS to use, it wiped my sim card memory FOUR TIMES,and in the end i sold this piece of crap on E-BAY to some poor sod! and they paid �120 for it .. ha! i now use a nice reliable GROWN UP nokia 6230 . come on people,why u still insist on buying these things? the only people using the SL55 now are teenage CHAVS sat on the shopping precinct phoning their CRACK DEALERS !!

  • Hey, i've had this phone for a couple of months now, and don't know if i'm happy or pissed off about it. It shuts off by itself, takes forever to load (if it doesn't freeze), and now has some weird red circle-icon on the main screen (not the menu screen). does anyone know what this icon is, and, how do i fix it. My wap/gprs isn't working either, and its been costing me lots of airtime to try and fix. each time i take it in to complain, i am told "there is nothing wrong"! Not a very good phone. Rather take a nokia or sony ericson k700i (its awesome!!!!!!)

  • most beautiful designed phone...ever. the design is so thoughtful & integrated. all other manufacturers follow the design & try to improve; but none can improve the design. the only culpit is the weak reception & the keys of any sl55 give up after 3-5 months.

  • it's interesting and wonderful gsm AND fantastic

  • it`s super gsm

  • most horrible phone ever! stupid 4,096 color screen and this crap turns off by itself all the time.. i go with 260000 color screen now.

  • I am old man and cannot hear the phone ring set to maximun

  • TERIBLE! The things shuts off on its own and the slide breaks off. I would go for the Motorola V220 instead!

  • This is the worst phone i have ever owned. I had it for three months and returned it once because i got lots of card errors and it switched itself off frequently, to the point that it was almost unusable. I had it replaced and the replacement did exactly the same within weeks. I had it exchanged for a different model eventually. The fact that it looks unusual is the only good thing about this phone. Dont bother.

  • can anybody please tell from where top buy the camera for sl55 and its test results also

  • I have a siemens sl55..Bad phone.. Recption is shocking..

  • It's just perfect for girls! i love it!

  • I Have A SL55 and i like my siemens be cause my phone have a many equipment for dialing and .... but siemens's phone must repair speed of its working for more than buy in world and cross with nokia in end :my mai Comment is Siemens Is A best Mobile Phone In The World

  • good phone, small, practic, not as good as other phones , but very good....

  • hey peops, this looks lyk a nice fone i lyk the fact its only 79g!!!! im thinkin of buying 1 but peops keep saying it is relli unreliable!? u can talk to me on msn messenger if u want i dnt bite muhahaha :P

  • i got a sl55 and i fucking love it could n e 1 tell me how much a camra 4 it would be

  • This is the worst phone I've ever had. Ive had it for 1 month, it is slowwwwwwwwww, messes up the numbers when you dial, terrible software... Im going back to nokia as soooon as I can. Never buying a siemens again..

  • nice phone, very small, very practic , and i recommend it to everyone who dont give a shit on a phoine camera.....

  • The SL55 is my third Siemens mobile, had the S35i the SL45 and now this one, the phone when it works is great although the display is onyl 4k which is a bit naff. Has been back for repair once and is now going to be replaced with a new one, have had it get stuck trying to look at text messages then it freezes and wipes them all!, couldnt send MMS for some reason had all that fixed and was fine for a few months, then one day it wiped my address book and had been a bit slow with texts since!!, also the zero key is sometimes a bit temperamental. Am having a replacement in a week or so but will be upgrading when I can to the new slinky CX65 or SX1.

  • can you please tell me how much it would cost for a handsfree headset for my mobile thanks

  • Had an SL55 for 6 months, been back for repair twice and now the keys have fallen off! sexy looking phone, but terrible performance!

  • Keypad too small, memory too small, battery life too short, screen too small, prone to break down, pretty to look at and small. I said after my last siemens that I wouldn't have another. I'm going back to Nokia, and the 02 coverage was terrible with this phone.

  • Great look, horrible phone. Have to join the ranks of users that curse this phone for its faults. Had mine for around a year and it started turning off every time the slide was closed and keys were not working - estimated repair cost around USD 175 - no way! Will be looking out for the new Samsung E800 instead.

  • Sexy, small, light, easy menu. I had Ericsson 768, then a T10, Sony Z5, Nokia 8210, Nokia 6310i, so I had some experience. It is the only small, without antenna and without a shit camera.

  • this phone is the worst iv had it for 6 months and half of the number pad has stopped working and the right scroll key and menu key . it is shit so im back to my old nokia and my next phone will be a nokia coz they rock

  • Does this phone have an intergrated camera or an attachable one? Really neat design though. :-D

  • i think its really nice and beautiful, i like its small size

  • Nice phone overall, needs a bit more memory though, MAJOR slowdown when recording large dictaphone messages

  • ps; serkan, it does have a camera, u have to buy it seperately though.

  • i have this fone and i dropped it a few days ago (down two floors!) and it still works perfectly! i have seen it priced at �329 retail (pay as you go) but i still think its worth it,my best fone ever. i got mine on contract but i cudnt imagine going anywhere without out!!! (god, u can tell im female!!!!)

  • my work collegue has this & its ugly

  • ı think this phone is magnificient.it is very small and useful. but, there is a problem that it hasn't any camera.

  • Can any1 give me an estimate price in the UK or from any site that delivers to the UK?

  • This the best mobie phone i ever had....

  • The siemens sl56 or sl55 may look very nice... but after a few months my phone had a lot of errors. First the phone started to shut off by its self but that got taken care of. Then a few days later the keypad arrows go bad. So it became really difficult to click the left arrow key. Now my left side keypad doesnt even work anymore. If you do a lot of SMS then i would recommend not using this.

  • Fantastic phone! I used to have the SL10 and that phone was amazing, it was a lot more futuristic than the SL55. I do think Siemens are lacking in colour screen technology at the moment, especially since they were one of the first/if not the first company to incorporate a colour screen into a phone? With only 4096 colours it does lack in this department, and the lack of a camera built in is a downler. However with all this said, its still an amazing phone, a friend of mine's got one, and I am hoping to have one very soon! The size of the phone is unbelieveable, and the features are great, a shame bluetooth isnt included though. In my experiance, Siemens have proven to last longet than any other phone manufacturer, and the amount of times Ive dropped my SL10 & MT50, and they have not ever given me any problems. I would most definatley recomment this phone to anyone, its just a shame Siemens didnt wait a while longet to release it, they could have included so much more. Simon

  • pls i have problem with my sl55 is showing phone blocked please turn off.please assist me on her to go about it.

  • i think this phone has a great unique design but i have spoken with people and agree myself that if there was an inbuilt camera maybe at the back or the slide feature that it would be more popular in the market. also the size of the ariel should be bigger as to provide better reception, i know the ariel is based on the size of the phone but it would inprove the customer satifaction if this was achieved.

  • Hello. I do like this phone but I am very dissapointed because I can�t use different ring-tones in different the profiles! Very strange.I can only change volume in the profiles, or chose only pip. Even in my S35 and ME45 it is possible to have different ring-signals and sms-signals in every profile. If I had known this before I bought it--- well I should choose an other phone.... S

  • Great design!

  • very nice phone looking to upgradeing to this next year.

  • i need help, i have a sl55 siemens and i need manusl phone in portugues brazil.. thank you very much.

  • I like the shape and the features are great so well done siemens on such a great phone.

  • I have 2 SL55 - Titan and Rubin! The battery life are between 2 to 3 days on normal usage. The screen is good, and the design is fantastic! You will love it!

  • ITs so cOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL u gotta get it but the only problem with it is that the reception is kinda bad and u cant recieve picture SMS

  • To all SL55 users, can you give us an idea on how is the battery performing? How long is the standby time? Talk time?

  • Tiny phone with all the features you need.. no no.. except the MP3 function from SL45 =) Great phone!

  • This is one of the best phone of 2003. I'm a first time Siemens user and I'm very happy with this phone. Aside from bluetooth, this small masterpiece has everything you need! I love it! SL55 and Siemens rules!

  • I have been very dissapointed with this product and the customer service staff in Jakarta-Indonesia. I bought the phone about 2 and 1/2 weeks ago and I have been having problems with the phone. I was told by one of the customer service staff that it's a defect product, but they can't do anything.

  • Nice package in a small phone like this. 3 people in my family are using this phone. Keep it up Siemens!

  • Design and feature are super! =) I love this phone! The only thing missing is a MP3 player.. if Siemens can add the bluetooth to it.. it will be even better!

  • the only thing that lets this phone down is lack of bluetooth. picture quality could be improved - other than that a good all rounder

  • Great phone. This is a head turner! I love it's features and the design is so cool! SO far, so GOOD!

  • sl55 nothing without your touch!!!! kinda hopeless motto from siemens that worry noone would buy their small fone!!!!!

  • great fone for smal hand!!!!! the feture is good had optional camera and omg!!!!the screen is abit f**ked up!!!!1

  • interested to buy one !!! but anyone know how is the screen,coz i see on my friend screen it was a bit fukked up !!! 101by 80 pixel only!!! anyone could tell me how is the camera !!!!!!answer a.s.a.p!!!!

  • tudor,the sl55 had the digicam it even had the same feature with the s55 digicam!!!!!!!

  • it is a shame it is without an mp3 player.in my opinion,that takes something away from it---it would have been a real winner cause everything else about it is just perfect!

  • not bad at all qite cute hay. I just love it the features are so good. Can't wait till the red one comes out!!!!

  • About Siemens. Siemens was the first with the slide keybord. Years ago siemens has an phone with the same idea. So Nokia has stole the idea from Siemens thats for sure.

  • does this telephone sl55 have downloadable ringtones?

  • fantastic phone. it does everything. i knew it was small but it shocked me to actually have it in my hand. the only small gripe i have is that the colour pixels are only 4096, not higher. The screen is very large given the smallness of the phone. I love the phone and a lot of people have complimented me on having it.

  • Orgasmic throughout. Better than sex Nothing without my touch

  • Well the siemens sl55 is a smart phone as call it and I was wandering if it has a digital camera? If anyboby knows pls. right me.

  • It is not a copy of the Nokia 7650, in fact Nokia stole the idea of this type of keyboard from Siemens... I suggest you take a look at the Siemens SL10, the first mobile phone with this concept.

  • this is the crapiest phone ever! a total copy of 7650! i think nokia should design for siemens instead of them designin.......real crap!

  • The phone sucks I've bought it two weeks ago and he is broken now the system about to shove it in is broken I wouldn't buy him again

  • Purchased phone recently on orange, lovely phone but does feel a bit flimsy, not like Nokia's always seem solid. But LOVE IT and its fetures, good phone if you like a Pose and sleak design..

  • 7650 rip off!!! seimens design team are crap. why not just change the 4 way scroll to a joystick and then stick nokia on the cover? crap crap crap!!

  • Hey everyone, I've been using the SL55 for a month now. It's a real wonder from Siemens. First I thought it is too small for my hands, but the slider is designed in an excellent way, and I use it as easily as any other bigger phone with normal touches. I can only recommand it....

  • Best mobile in market at the moment the next will be Motorola V-600, believe me.

  • Just two days, but has been the best phone I have had after t68,7650,t39. Little, very little but very powefull, just have to get used to the small joystick it has an excellent loudspeaker, the engineering did well the job, Thanks Siemens.

  • paul- it depends on the owners on how they handle the phone. you handled stupidly and not carefully that's why your phone ended up in the trash.

  • Very nice sexy no body can belive when you receive a call and answer in close mode as it looks so small. I love SL55 what a wonder a little mobile.

  • Forgotten to say; the sliding keyboard of my formely phone Siemens sl10 was broken after a year and expensive to repair (ended in my trashbucket). This sliding sl55 board is even worth maded than the sl10 and more less of dimensions, give it a few months buyers (sorry for your money that ya spend on it). A little phone; but the greatest piece of shit in stores now!

  • I don't like it at all. Not made for big (mankind) hands. The keyboard (styled like the sl-10) is screwed with only two screws in cheap plastic with the other side of the phone (i'll give it a few months and then it's broken). The design is great (retro look with an 1950th styled speaker). No my advice; the price is too high for tis worth piece of shit that will felt down in your hands after a few months. Sorry i wait for the sx-1, that will be a great one, i know for sure.

  • Over all it is the beautiful hand set in the large market of mobiles.

  • Hello kindly take a look on SL55 Siemens before buying any mobile as it is perfect hand set in all respect.

  • palmer... siemens did not copy from nokia. the SL55 was based on an earlier siemens model SL10 with slide keyboard design too then the 7650 came out.

  • WHy do they have to imitate nokia 7650 in design? But this siemens looks a lot better, in fairness.

  • Hi,guy's this is the phone iwould like to be wiht before the end of my life Mugerwa B John..........

  • i'm from belgium I find all the GSM 's to expencive in belgium because of the high taxes bud in fact the are all to high priced !!! i'm still looking for a good gsm with bild in cam for a low price like about let us say 300 us dollars!

  • This phone looks the dogs boll*x i don't think you can call it a ladys phone when i have the money i'm gonna get this probably in black it looks like something out of a sci-fi movie =0) great stuff

  • This phone is much to small for my hands. And what's the use of a colorscreen when it's so small? If I was a lady I would surely buy it...

  • I would definitely buy it, it looks nice small and compact with nice design only problem is that it hasn't got bluetooth

  • I would be interest in buying Mobile Siemens SL55. Please inform me the details of price and delievery information to Gibraltar

  • It looked like a good phone and design quite similar to Nokia 7650 but it does not have the built-in camera and the memory space of 1.6MB is definitely too small. Since this model has came out later than the Nokia 7650, Siemens should have improve on the Memory space and have something better than the existing model and not worst off. What you think?

  • I was surprised when see this SL55 in shop.It is togather different as seems to be in picture. I fall in love in my first sight and purchased at once as only few sets were left in Islamabad, Pakistan.

  • This IS NOT the successor of SL45, the Sx1 is!(and more expensive)

  • Hmm... Where are the features? This phone is not the worthy successor of SL45! No, I go for SX1.

  • good stylish phone but what is the price

  • 424 Euros...

  • very beautiful phone, but it is too expensive, when the price will be down?

  • Ehmm.. You can't have this phone. I commes out in Mai/Juni/Juli, but yes you are right this is a very good phone!

  • the perfect phone.it is the best!!!!!!!i have it and it is very good!!!!!it needs onli fm radoi and mp3 player

  • I'm gonna buy the SL55, but the color you see at the picture (blue)is just the color of the prototype. You can chose the colors: Titan and Red!

  • my friend also has that kind of problems with his SL45 too..

  • I waiting for it. I hope it coming soon.

  • TO STEVE: 1) The Siemens SL55 IS NOT the descendant of SL45. 2) Let me guess.... Are you using a MMC card with your SL45? The problems that you report is something common with these cards.

  • i owned a sl45 a while back and in one year had 3 phones under warrenty, and the last one wasnt any better. All phones had same problems and after many phone calls i got no satisfactory replys from customer service. All phones buttons used to jam up, phone functions freezed, used to switch itself off, functions if didnt freeze would be very slow. After talking to several dealers, all agreed that the phone gave trouble to just about all customers and did not recomend the SL45. Has the SL55 overcome the obvios problems of the SL45 as even with my huge dissapointment, i feel the structure quality is the best and also the design of the top line siemens phones and would be prepared to try once more....

  • The answer to that question, the SL55 will be available in the market at around May

  • When is this phone going to be commercially available for purchase? Thanks!

  • O F F I C I A L L Y, the Siemens SL55 has 4.096 colours, not 256.

  • siemens has released a new 4096 screen phone the m55. visit the siemens website. the phone is excellente!

  • the sl55 has 4096 colors according to my-siemens.com and not the previously mentioned 256. it will priced around 550 euros when it goes out on sale by may

  • They are gonna make a S55i with 4096 colours and has a multimedia card, the phone looks slightly different from the S55

  • its keys are good but it can't be a phone like 6610, 7210 or others. and its colors are low. it is 256, nokia's are 4096

  • The design is great, glass everywhere. Is it scratch-proof? I doubt the slider will still work good for 2 years. Too bad it has no audio player, not even radio FM. What phones will it challenge with, N6610 or N7650?

  • My Siemens S55 is the "WORST" phone I have ever owned after having an SL45 for two years I upgraded? to an s55 Its Crap! poor service coverage extremely Gadgety logos and ring tones check out "cocktail and cinema" you're joking and don't even think about the resolution fpr the Quick Pic camera there is no way of defining from the viewfinder what you have just photographed.this model is a real lemon my vote out of ten 2.5. Hope someone who can do something about this reads these comments for a $1K Aud. phone this is serious!

  • I read that they might not make this phone because it would have no market, instead they will make a Siemens S55i with 4096 colours and a MMC...

  • It does not have Symbian OS,and no built in camera??!!You have to use that stupid battery-taking plug-in camera?Stupid,I like Neonode N1 more than this one.

  • wow this is amazing mobile phone! i am from bulgaria & i see this model of sl55 for the first time.. in bulgaria the latest model of siemens is s55..

  • IMHO, the best thing about SL55 is the sliding keypad design. It makes this phone one so small. Visit

  • 4096 according to siemensinfo.de

  • Does this phone have 256 colours, or 4096 colours? I am confused.

  • Nope! SL45 and S45 are still the best phones siemens have produced ever! Come on Siemens!!! U are starting to lag behind Sony-Ericsson now and you're little Samsung catch u up in the market

  • I think Siemens should make a phone that has more than 256 colors. That is just not good, it is not much different from the S55. If Siemens was to build a phone with a MMC of 256 MB I would definitly buy the phone!!

  • can I know that phone sell in what place ?

  • no one knows exactly what the features of the phone are. the question is... what is so special about it???????? siemens should work on advertising

  • I am not really satisfied with the Siemens SL55 i think that the SL45i is even better than it. I think it is ridiculous to have a phone that small, the S55 is already such a small phone.

  • Excelente phone,but the display is 4096 colors. Best phone ever made by siemens!

  • an sd card slot is present

  • 101*80 and 256 colors is just unacceptable.Bad bad work

  • Until recently we could only view pictures of Siemens SL55, there wasn�t any precise information about it. Now we were succeed to know some new facts about it. Firstly, the phone has the same opening system as Siemens SL10 or Nokia 7650; you can reply a call if you open a keypad; any tone can be assigned to this process. Respectively, if you close the keypad, phone call is interrupted. New types of icons appeared on the screen: WAP over GPRS and used type of a phonebook (either from SIM-card memory or phone memory). It�s very convenient. p> Main menu interface is similar to Siemens S55; there are no differences between them. Submenus structure is very easy. You will get used to it quickly. The phone is equipped with 4-way navigation joystick, but it can�t be pressed. Right soft key is usually used to select this or that menu item. Phonebook capabilities resemble Addressbook of S55, it has the same fields and it is also possible to assign pictures to names. Up to 500 phone numbers can be stored in the phone memory. There are 9 caller groups in the phone. In the whole SL55 is very similar to S55 by features. But it doesn�t support bluetooth and equipped with the other battery type � Li-Pol of 500 mAh capacity. We can�t confirmed rumorus that the phone has MMC-card slot. Now we don�t have such information. Respectively, a capability of the phone to play back mp3 files is also under a question. The handset will be available in three colors. In our opinion blue one is the most nice, orange color doesn�t look so pretty. www.mobile-review.com

  • same as s55 the case only changed!i thimk siemens has lost its mind now that the memory card is needed they don't put it!crazy siemens

  • Simbian,it has it all,but it is as small as Nokia 6100

  • it has 4096 colour acording to siemensinfo.de/en and it realy is the best phone ever! it's microescopic, and beautiful and very complete also!! nice work siemens!!!

  • 256 colors????????? u must be joking!!!!it might as well had been in black and white!!! siemens have lost it.

  • it's not best phone ever, functions are similar to S55, but design is nice . . .

  • I thought is was a S55 in an other case, or am I wrong? Has it a removable MMC card like the SL45(i)

  • Best phone ever!!!!
