  • i just bought this phone. very nice model and nice features, nevertheless, the battery barely lasts one day and sometiems not even teh complete day is this normal or should i give it back to have tehm check it

  • I had this phone, i loved it!! battery life was a bit bad but you get used to it, if you charge it for a few hours it will last longer than an over-night charge! easy to txt with, really loud, really nice design, and even nearly water-proof, i dropped it in a puddle and it worked perfectly afterwards! I LOVED THIS PHONE!!

  • I have bought this phone but now I am scared because all of the reviews look pretty bad. Why is the bettery life so bad :(

  • My sl75 mobile phonelocked no serviece in qatar how can i open my phon plaese send me information this is big help for me sadik

  • hi guys i want to format this phone but need a phonecode is there anyone can help me what the code of this phone pls post your msg tnx!

  • hi guys? is there anyone who can help me? where i can buy a batteryof this unit pls help me or txt me at ds # tnx guys! 09179018964

  • I had this phone for about 1 1/2 years? And it was good for some things (like the torch) but rubbish for other things like you wouldn't recieve a text for 3 days? Awful battery.Stored alot of pictures but only 3 or 4 songs... my long term friend left me in June, Because i got a sony ericsson W910i, So much better.

  • i totally agree with you mate.. the battery life is so screwed up.. if i just make a call the battery just goes down.. i mean even if i speak for just 1 minute.. got no clue what to do.. i even bought a battery from ebay.. even that is giving me the same problem.. can't figure out whether its the battery problem or the phone's problem

  • The SL75 mobile is treacherously deceptive as it looks so sleek,flashy and all but its performance is really heartbreaking.If Siemens should consider making more of these,then i suggest they also provide their customers with technical support by way of posting them on places that are public.

  • SIEMENS - the best phones ever! & very original design!! it's so sad that they don't make them no more! because of the stupid people that led the firm into bancrupcy

  • ive had my phone for over a year, and i just bought the Nokia E65. with the siemens, i have abused it. its a nice looking phone and all but i was even reading in the manual that battery life decreases with every charge. my battery dies daily even when i barely use the phone i have to recharge it every night. the reception is bad and when you use your phone too much it starts to lag a lot and its a total pain in the ass to turn it off cuz theres no faster way other than taking battery out. i am really used to this phone, i can literally work it with my eyes closed. sometimes i text so fast that the phone cant keep up then it starts to lag and eventually turns off. this had happened quite a few times. i have dropped it by accident a few times and there are scratches on it and its falling apart. for some reason i have 3 of these phones in my house. 1 black 2 silver. i dont regret buying this phone but major improvement must be made to the battey life and something has to be done to fix the lag. its horrible. for all those people saying that they dont have problems with the phone... they probably just got it. give it a few months and you will see what we are talking about. good phone...cant wait for my Nokia E65 :D

  • The phone is brilliant.Apart from the freezing part when smsing.Iwoke up one morning psyked up for smsing.Alas!The phone didn't go on.The place I live in doesn't sell the SL75 batteries.Can you send me one for free?By the way, the phone is hard core, my friend's fell down a two storey house and it is alive and kicking!

  • one mornin i wake up and ha fnes dead

  • Where and How to update the Firmware of my SL75? can anyone help? The mobile section in Siemens was joint with BenQ ( BenQ-Siemens ).

  • Hi, Does someone know how to copy all contacts from the phone to the SIM-CARD? Regards Willi

  • phone was gd. and then it kept frezzing when like a message was coming through so you would have to take the battery out and then restart it.Then last night i sent a message and it totally died now it wont even let me enter my pin.

  • hello my wife has the siemen sl75 and if she has a email sent it do not ring or vibrate now for some reason anyone know how to do it.or is there a fault with it.it did go once but she dont know if she has done anything wrong.

  • i have the SL75 and it is a good phone except the reception could be better, and the battery life needs improvement. overall its a good phone

  • i got this phone as a gift, but, the battery back up is really low. after a call or so it goes down and i have to charge it everyday. is there anyone else who is having the same problem?

  • I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee it

  • i have this phone it was alright for a while but its a hastle to set up MMS and Email, now this phone turns itself off and the battery lifeisnt good either, all in all its quite a good phone wouldn't uy it again tho!

  • HI all..,, can anyone plzz tell me the default phone code{security code} for it... orelse the coustomer service number of siemens... plzzz if anyone know it plzz mail me to my id.... [email protected] thanx in advance.........

  • My younger sister has this phone. Nice little phone. VERY loud! Good value. Nice buttons because it is easy to txt on!

  • great phone very sleek def gets a lot of attention and very user friendly wish it had voice activated calling though and battery life is kind of low although the 150 bux i spent on it was deff a really really good deal i deff recomend it (also the blue tooth is a nice tuch as well)

  • Where and How to update the Firmware of my SL75? can anyone help?

  • hi i have sl65 and i repair its flat 3 times i like slider phone such sl75 so who can tell me if i buy it i dont have same problem?

  • it is cute and all but the battery wears out pretty fast.other than thaat its fine.btw cld u pliz tell me if there is a way u can change the cover coz mine now has scratches

  • The most repaired phone in the world. Thanks to Siemens for the garanty expired for all the models who are in the markt. Very Very professionel.

  • Update your firmware! The phone will not power off, and will be much faster. Even the battery lasts more (at least on my phone).

  • it is hanging and other problems, the company closed, no maintenance and no firmware update, i am selling it.

  • mine turns off automatically as well.I think it's a matter of manufacture.However, i would like some buy a new cover cos it has become awful.Can someone tell me if i can buy and from where please?thanks

  • i like this phone but the battery wears out pretty quick i have to charge it at least every day some times 2 times, i cant figure out what one of the icons are so if u can tell me its a picture of a taf with the arrow pointing left i know the one pointing right means ur sending a text but to the left what does that mean ???? if u know contact me [email protected]

  • i have a problem in my phone. when i on my phone itself it off. can any one help me for this problem.

  • HELP!!!! my phone was lost few monthes ago i want someone to tell me about another one which is good .....thank u for giving me your advice

  • This phone have a tecnology very very good, but your battery is low is damage no buy it phone you waste your money !!! Alberto

  • Now y wud sum1 b so mean about this fon. It's a great one.

  • I would like to add to those who say thier phones are OK and the problem is from the user. You can't ignore all the people complaining from this phone, and you can't say that all of them r dump. This model is not good like the SL55. Siemens stopped supporting it. Its not worth buying.

  • The phone is bad, short life battery, always hangs and shuts off. I couldn't find a replacment battery in the gulf area, and warranty is useless. Can not be compared to SL55.

  • Its really a gr8 dissapointment to hv this fon. Battery is realy weak, problems in sms saving, suddenly it gets off.....PLZ NEVER BUY IT and WASTE UR MONEY!

  • this phone is realli gd now all of u shutup hahahahaha jokes peeps lol

  • Does anybody know how to get the instant messenger working? Cheers x

  • Hi Dont buy this phone its shocking it worked fine when i brought it 3 wks ago but the clocks have just changed here in the uk and the phone didnt like it and has frozen. So.... I phoned Siemens Benq they gave me a reset code to punch in did that the phone still didnt like it i said to them your the manafacturer what now they could not help and they charge you 75p a minute for useless info my advice DONT GO NEAR THIS MOBILE !

  • The best Siemens phone I have had so far. I have used all of them from the first S4 phone 10 years ago. Absolutely no problems with brand at all. The only disappointment is the somewhat poor finishing with the chrome bits falling off from the side buttons.

  • my mum ordered the phone 4 me b day and it should come in like 7 days does it frezze how do you get it to conect to ur computer?

  • Pros of the SL75: strong build(slider is effective and not loose like other phones), sleek design(trust me, this thing turns heads), video player is good(even though the memory is very small you can still get a lot of videos b/c of the 3gp format of files), mp3 player is pretty good, clear reception and volume during calls, texting is easy. Cons: Battery life is so-so(just charge every night), turns itself off sometimes, possibility of dropping the call if you accidentally move the slider down. Basically for me, this phone is very good because I have a separate mp3 player and I hardly use the camera(even though it's useful sometimes). The shutting off and battery life doesn't bother me because it doesn't affect my calls. But I wouldn't recommend this to people who use their phone for everything like listening to music, watching videos, taking pictures and making calls.

  • Loved the look of the phone,after 3 wks I sen it back 4 freezing. then when I wanted 2 change the puck 2 code I locked it out, but 2 phone siemens it cost �1.00 a min it cost me over �10.00 then they told me 2 prove it was my phone, so after phoning t.mobile it was costing me alot so I went out and got another phone.

  • I'm getting really mixed messages about this phone, both me and my sister are thinking of buying it, and at first sight it looked a bargain, and some comments seem to agree with this, others are saying it's a waste of money. I'm basically looking for a phone becuase my other one is receiving texts like three days late, and I would like bluetooth, so should I buy it?

  • Well ive had this phone for a while and whenever i send somebody a text they receive it lyk 3 hours later. Omg it bugs me!! Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Love the phone, but can't end a call by closing the slider - comes up unsuccessful, but slider is working. Anyone else had this and do you know if it a setting I need to change - help please - apart from this quite happy.

  • Just bought this 'cos it seemed a bargain but the instruction book is useless - it says do so-and-so, but doesn't tell you how to do it!Also, it has switched itself off a couple of times and it is very difficult to operate - I can usually pick things up easily from the instruction book, but not this time. My battery life doesn't seem over-long either - it went right down in just a day.Also, I can't hear it ring - even the loudest setting's not loud enough when it's in your handbag, and it doesn't ring for very long either. All in all, not such a bargain after all. It looks so nice too.

  • i got this just after christmas. and i luv it! my friends are jealous and my sis was so impressed she went and bought 1 2! It's camera is great, the games rock!, and i cant find 1 fault! so stop critisizeing it! u were the one who probably did something wrong! xx

  • It`s great mobile. It doesn`t swich off itself if you use the sw39. it`s cool

  • u guys moaning about the phone switching off..this happened to me but realises theres a setting which automatcally switches the phone off just change it to no and its fine

  • if any one is thinking about buying one of these i would think again. BenQ took over Siemens when they went bust and now Benq are doing the same thats y this phone is quite cheap because its there last stock. So if you buy one give it 2months and your warranty may no longer be valid.

  • i have this fone in pink and it roks it looks fab!it feels nd looks classy doesnt feel cheap at all.and its functions are amazinggggggg it has video,camera,bluetooth,4 games,52MB!,mp3,torch,voice recorder,and its slidy i love it!

  • I am very disapointed with this phone only purchased yesterday and partner purchased a Sony Ericsson wish I had too as mine seems a cheap alternative which I cant see lasting. Shame it looked good but thats the only thing I can find that is good. Take my advice dont buy one.

  • do know someone where is the option to GPRS configuration?

  • Nice phone, really fancy. Can anyone tell me how to configure the diferent flavors of call diverting.

  • this phone is nice...i like it very much&the camera is ok...and it doesn`t turn off.realy...it`s nice

  • this phone is really horrible,it turns off itself and the camera flash is not working since the first one hour i used after buying it.Its a horrible,trrible phone.DONT EVER BUY IT!!!

  • This fone suxs !!! Brought it for 2 daes n it suxs.My fone was a faulthy 1 as the cam does not have flash .This fone shut down itself . Alot of problems. Advise: DUN EVER BUY SIEMENS FONE As they only make CRAP fone!!!!!

  • tis fone..i juz bought it two daes ago...and it has started lagging and hanging...it oso switches itself off!!can anyone pls tell me is tis normal or wat?

  • This phone is very good.

  • plz, believe me, this is not your phone! I have it from 6 months, it give me very big problems....i don't have time to go into particulars....! it make whatever and whenever it wants....without asking me...:)) next time i'll be more carefule when chooseing the phone....

  • can any1 tell me something about dis fone? is it good?im thinking about buying it so PLZ help me!!!! Write on my mail...hElP

  • Having bought this phone back in April, and thinking it was really great, I have now found a few problems with it. It is presently back with the manufacturer, as it keep coming up with "card error" and switching itself off. It also sometimes completely locks up and requires re-charging of the battery every day! Shame, because its such a slick little phone to look at.

  • it dows actually play real audio,and it sounds great! u can store more than 1000 sms!!!! it is great! by far the best cell phone i ever had! though if u want to use it as a camera, then it's built in camera is not that good! apart from that,the phone rocks! And it;s batery seems to last forever! I speak over 1hr per day with my gf, and the battery lasts aproximetely 4 days! yeah! really good choise!

  • can some1 plz answer me????? does the SL75 play real audio or only Mp3?? it should play real audio coz it smaller than MP3 so more songs will fit in the mobile's average memory size....

  • Perfect designed! In fact, this is the more wonderful phone that I never had!

  • how much SMS can this phone store ?

  • where do you download themes for this phone. i cannot stand the garish orange and blue standard theme of this.

  • by the way, w80 and w810 have the best camera in these phones (2MP with autofocus and flash)

  • To the person below me. I'm not a fan of any special company but My suggestion is that you go for Sonyericsson w300 as if you don't want to pay much. w600 if you would like a 1.3 megapixel camera in addition. But the Best of low price walkman phones is w800 or w810 which it's price is higher. Hope It could help!!

  • I'm not sure if I should buy the phone....is it really bad..i only make a few calls a day and want to use the mp3 player like all day.. will it work fine? I'm in the US, and does the fone work fine?should I risk it or buy a nokia fone? please reply!!!

  • Small, slick and smooth design does not compensate for the phones poor memory... and also finding the phone switches itself off. Another fault I found was the phones Media Player freezing... its a pity coz the phone looks so darn good!

  • Amazing Looks But I Dont Like Only 52MB Momery & No Infared But I Love My My SL75

  • anyone knows if this phone accepts streaming video ??? tia

  • I want to ask you about the ProSLIDE mechanism of this phone. Is it strong enough? Is there any damages with the phone body after many open-close operations? I will be very satisfied if someone answer to my questions more profesionaly if he can.

  • its siemens, i dont need say more nothing.

  • it�s a great phone have a good display and song, no problems with interface and it's a beautiful phone too.

  • To Nadir, yes its German

  • is siemens a german company

  • The body and finish materials are out of this world..and its the most stylish and elegant phone ever..its a bit slow..but its looks more than cover up for tht..i recommend the onyx black color

  • Had my Siemens SL75 for one week now and its absolutely brilliant. I used to have an SL55 and that was good too. I've had no problems with either phone. (My SL55 worked fine in NYC too!) Don't believe all the negative reviews you read. Most of the time its just the owners not understanding how to use it! I recommend the SL75 to everyone male and female. Enjoy!

  • Having been used to Nokia mobiles up to now, I was really reluctant change, but I don't regret a minute of it. The SL75 is a brilliant phone - easy to use, stylish and funky too! Would highly recommend it to anyone even remotely considering buying this phone.

  • i think every 1 shud buy SL75 coz it is the most easy n safe to use n beautiful! i just bought it n i think its simply marvellous

  • This is the fone which deserves to be bought! i love to use it coz it is very easy n it has got more functions than any fone i have used! simply its the best

  • hi every1 luk i kno sum ppl hav experience freezing but it has never happened to me and the phoe is absolutely brill especially 4 teens who want features the media player and camera are bot h excellent and the bluetooth works at large distances too! the battery is average - about 2/3 days but if you charge it at night when ur asleep there are no probz. this fone is amazing and is great so you can have a funky slider thats not the same as everyone else D500/600! its so original everyones been impressed and the fot o editor is fun sound quality is good and slide is superb recommended design 10/10 features 9/10 performance 9/10 buy it now !!! www.dialaphone.co.uk

  • hiia guys well i bought the fone it forze once buut that woz because i had dropped it since then its been fine. All my frirds think its good and i really love it the camera is perfect i think and you can buy it off dialaphone.co.uk and the contract only costs �120 a year so its really good value and i love itttttttt i quick question- how do you get songs frm your computer onto the fone do you need to buy a seperate lead or anything ?

  • This is a great girlie phone, looks very feminine, feels substantial in your hand, the slide makes it so easy for answering and cancelling calls (and is not cheap plastic like some of the others I've tried). I've had the phone for 4 weeks and Ive had no faults, no freezing, etc. The battery is lasting only about 2-3 days, but I have been using it alot. For talking, texting, and taking photos, which is all i use it for, its perfect!

  • hiya, had one for a week, it froze, turned off, ringtones reset. Swapped it, replacement did the same. Did a software uprade, still does it, battery doesnt last more than a day - tmob have discontinued it they have had so many problems! such a shame i love the phone :o(

  • Eric I'm not a big fan of SE, 'cause they are too large and clumpsy. I really like sl75. It's a real statement and very feminim. I'm a girl you know. But you really didn't answer my questions. I have also read all the opinions, but I still it's a fantastic phone. My only concern is the colours of the menu and how the ringtones sounds. Thats it. I dont need it to take many pictures with, and I've allready got a MP3 player. So that's not nessesary. But thanks anyway, Eric. Sincerly Heidi

  • Heidi I was trying to buy the Siemens SL75 but after reading all the reviews and opinions of the phone i changed my mind, I personally recommend you Sony Ericsson's K750i that is a wonderful phone 'till today, I guess?? although this week they launched the Nokia N70 and its a WOW but seriously check out the K750i because I changed my mind and instead of buying SL75 after reading all the problems with that phone I am happy with my buy. Good luck, and any question feel free to ask!

  • Does anyone know how the menucolours is? I'm seriously thinking about buying this phone, but only if the colours of the menu is really nice and major clear. And what about the sound of the 40 channles ringtones? How are they?? Please respond!

  • Ive had this phone for 5 days and it has frose on me every day multiple times. It only freazes when someone is calling you, it doesnt vibrate or ring just freezes. Very Annoying

  • Has anyone had a problem setting an event in the calendar/organizer where you set a reminder and it does not ring/no sound. when i first got the phone this feature worked well and now after 2 weeks it doesn't work anymore. I get sound for messgs, alarm, call, but not for calendar reminder. Can anyone please help?

  • I have the Siemens SL75 and so far it never froze on me. When does that happen?

  • Is this freezing problem normal in this phones? and will the firmwares be enough to stop this issue, bluetooth does'nt work? who would want a phone like this? I want to purchase this phone but, can owners of this cell phone tell me is it worth your money or not? I would appreciate if someone of you'll help me.

  • I've had the siemens sl75 for almost 4 weeks now and i'm on my 3rd now hoping to change for another model all three have had similar problems freezing, switching off and bluetooth faults. The phone looks great, i love it and has the wow factor but unfortunately due to an 18 month contract i am not happy to keep the phone with so many niggly faults.

  • Hi I'm planning to buy the SL75 but I'm afraid about the talk time time and about the freezing issue, can somebody help me decide, because i like the way it looks. Thank you

  • if your phone freezes just get the new firmwares from siemens-mobile.com

  • I have had this phone 2weeks and have sent it back once, the problem with this phone I have is it keeps freezing, the second replacement keeps freezing as well.Don`t get me wrong I love the look of the phone and what else it can do, but the freezing is driving me madddddddddd

  • I wouldnt say this phone is for guys or gals. Its an all rounder I know previous models of Siemens slider phones have been aimed at both, so this one would be the same. I have just got this phone and its awesome. Its down to preference. If you want a girls phone get the Nokia 6111 or wahtever number it is. lol

  • i am a guy n i wanna find out if this fone is meant for guys r gals? I love the model but i dunno wanna lok weird Some one help

  • Hi everybody. I'm thionking about getting the SL75, but I have a few questions before I get it. 1: How is the sound compared to any phone with 64 channels? 2: How is the functions? Sincerly Heidi from denmark

  • If you go to www.club-siemens.net they did used to do a transparent GIF which would remove operator logo. Not sure whether they still do

  • anybody know where i can get the swivel holster & desktop charger on the net?

  • Hi, I have just got mine and I love it. Has anybody managed to get the service provider logo of the screen as you can with the samsung models or am I stuck with it?

  • hey, just ordered this phone, could anyone possibly tell me how many messages it can hold? and whether the volume buttons on the side can be pressed easily when the phones in a pocket or something? thankyou

  • I absolutley love this phone even if I'm a boy...I think that u can make a fashion statemeant with this phone...I'm thinking of changin my SE k500i phone for this one...but I wonder...would the slide mechanism will last for 1/2 years? & is this phone cheeping the siemens menu flat & ugly deign like?Thank you for reviewing this phone GSM Arena !!!

  • I also have a question does this also have built in hands free as the SL65 did? cause it's not listed..

  • To alejandro: Yes u can answer the calls without opening it.

  • Hi, I am from Argentina and I have two question. Can answer the calls without open it and does it has voice dial. Sorry but my english is not the best. Thanks for the answers.

  • very beautiful

  • I got mine 2 weeks ago. Here are the goods and bads: Good: -Slider works perfectly, slide as many times as you want, it'll be smooth as new. -Small and easy to handle. -You can press numbers with only one hand with no difficulties. -Camera and flashes are good quality ( when you take a picture, the picture shown in the phone is not as good as when you send it to your computer, don't worry, it's really good and sharp pictures ) -Camera is well positioned, it's in the body, it won't be scratches even if you put it on the table. -Loud and clear sounds ( when you are talking and ringtones ) -Everything responds quick, no lags in menu. -Unit converter, I really like this program, it's not only for $, it's also for weight, height and etc. Bads: -I've notice something really not normal, it's the sound. When someone calls you and whenever a sound comes out of the phone, it is ascending. What I mean is it's going not loud to loud. When I slide the phone one time, I can hear a little sound that comes out from it, but after sliding it a couple of times, it's getting louder and louder... -The body needs to be replaced... it's in plastic. The buttons on top of "call" and "end" makes noises when you click on it. -Battery doesn't hold more than 2 hourse of talk and not more than 24 hours of standby. -There's only one entry for charger and headset... so you can't do both at same time... For example, when you're in the car, you want to charge it at the same time you talk with your headset. Honestly, I rate this product - Design 9/10, Features 8.5/10, Performance 8/10. The huge feature missing in this phone is wifi, but I'm definitly sure that Siemens will come with updated filmware that can fix performance problems. Hope this help!

  • i just got mine from b4utele.com for 199.99 sim free!

  • to who it may help, have just found that siemens Sl75 is avaliable on the t-mobile website in Uk for �180 ... have just ordered one and can't wait for it to arrive!

  • pretty and small only in 2 color,try next color red/blue/....the display disappointed,for high grade still use 132x170 pixcell color?

  • I got the phone a couple days ago. At first i was a little against the slider phone. I've never realy liked sliders. But this thing slides so smooth! what's not to like? aside from that i love the phone. pretty easy to use. looks cool. small. bluetooth is SAF (sick as f***)

  • Ive had the SL75 for 2 days now, the battery from fully charged last no longer than 5 hours each day (only 1 call of 7mins was used)

  • all the old problems of the sl55, sl65 are gone reception is excellent here in the usa even though it is a triband as opposed to a quad band also the new software is the best ever

  • does it support chinese text?Thanks in advance.

  • Hi folks could someone pls tell me if the colours on the main screen as good as the sony ericsson w800i for example the wall paper ?

  • How good is the reception with this phone in the USA? Past experience with an SL55, i had almost 0 reception in the suburbs, but excellent reception in major cities. I would hate to buy this phone to relive that agony.

  • I got it! (Holland) It's such a beauty, unbelievable! It works fine, no problems.

  • Smiley it costs only 335 Eur = 349 USD

  • Hey Nick why don't you download the latest Firm ware , it is available in Siemens website , it will improve many things ;)

  • Hi,I bought an SL75 a few days ago based on the very positive comments on this site. And to be honest,I'm rather disapointed so far. Sure, the design is exquisite and the built before. But the WAP browser is extremely quality is like nothing I've ever seen unstable and the internet menu is not user-friendly. But most of all, both the 262K display and the 1.3 MP camera quality is just poor, it really is... And I am not even going to mention the battery life. In short, this mobile simply cannot live up to it's expectations in my opinion. Siemens could have had a topline product but this one lacks general quality, plain and simple

  • to whom it may concer.. ;)) you can put mp3 as ringtone only if you save them as .wav ! the sound is the same, but this is the format needed. sim goes out extremly difficult, and sometimes it is needed to put the sim into other phone...when you turn off the phone it takes ages to be completely off... and i still cannot take off the logo...!!! other aspects - not so important - one can not set the time for the background illumination to go off...or other such minor stuff.i will write here other things i find interesting for users that i discover.

  • Hi giovaninnaa, You're welcome. During that time, the SL75 was running on firmware 11

  • But it is availble in Russia, the price is 400 USD...

  • it was about 300 euros. in romania. in shops. sim free.

  • For Giovanna how much did you pay for it? cos its not out yet in the uk

  • Has anybody tested this with Mac OS X? I'm interested in the following: 1) Does iSync work? 2) Does EDGE internet connectivity work? 3) Can you send SMS from the Mac OS X Address book and it uses the phone to send them? Thanks!

  • FOOSOOMIN thank you very much for your very good review! It helped me a lot to decide!

  • I just bought this phone a couple of hours ago, I now discovering it! I like it very much. I need some help, please: how do I make that the opertaor logo does not appear any more?I set it in tho phone to be turned off, but... still.. there it is! Exactly on the face of the little angel that I have as my wallpaper. So?? PLEASE help!

  • To : M@, It's really a good phone. It's a direct rival to Nokia 6230/6230i & Samsung SGH-D500. We won't know how much it is in AUD$ until it's officially release. It depends on the size of the MP3 file. Yes, it has a speaker phone & able to communicate through loudspeaker during a phone call

  • i really want to get a phone, a cheap 1 but good 1, is this 1 good??? how much does it cost in australian dollars?? how many songs can u store on the phone? does it hav speaker phone?? Thanks 4 ur help!

  • Here's a mini review of the SL75 , which i have tried at Sitex 1) Sliding mechanism is very smooth 2) Weight is about the same as Nokia 6230 (100grams) 3) Menu navigation is as user friendly as Nokia mobile phones 4) It has an application to open/view, Words, Excel & PDF files 5) Able to set different Incoming SMS ringtone for individual callers 6) Able to set about 15 shortcut based on the 300plus menu function 7) It has Bluetooth (Version 1.2) 8) Powerful phonebook settings 9) It has a gloss finish on the phone casing 10) Call volume is loud, able to be heard in busy streets 11) Call quality is excellent, clear 12) Able to upgrade firmware by ourself (Need data cable/or over the air via GPRS) 13) Build quality very good, no squeeks 14) Able to store up to 5000 phones number & 1000 Contacts 15) Menu navigation speed is fast, no lag 16) It has an ATI chip, which enhances the video & audio capabilities 17) 1.3MP CMOS sensor camera 18) Unlimited video recording duration 19) Able to record voice memo (During phone call) 20) Real Media Player 21) Good loudspeaker, able to play songs in CD quality 22) Large screen, 1.8" TFT, 262K colours 23) Well placement of keypads 24) Good SMS interface 25) Phone Pilot available, just like a log file, show what you have done in your phone

  • I am returning my brand new Samsung D600E right this moment. It has excellent specs, and excellent hardware (although a bit bulky) - but the software is totally braindead compared to my SL55. So regretfully there is now no new phone to replace my aging Siemens.

  • I got mine 23rd december!

  • it is available in bulgaria at the price of 360 euro.

  • But now anyone holding a Siemens SL75 in hand? December 19 now.

  • go too siemens page it is aut

  • It still not available

  • it is available, we need a review here

  • its look very very beutifull.

  • SL75 available in Germany 15.12.Benq presents it now with 3d-Animation and a game.

  • SL 75 looks great ! Have always used Siemens and love it. Presently I have the CX65. Does anyone know if the SL75 will allow me to take longer videos, Now I can only have approx 10 sec movies which is short ... If I take this phone, will I have to change 12V car charger and handfree device ?

  • Gonna receive pre-order in next week, according to Club-Siemens. So those who live in Europe could probably get one before Xmas. Good news. Great!

  • The SG75 is cancelled, not the SL75, the providers have the SL75 in their previews, so it will come!!!

  • Where did you get this info? Officially it is still should be available from November.

  • This fone is cancelled and it won't be ever available in the markets

  • I have just downloaded a Theme Creator so I will release two exclusive themes for SL75 by the and of the year. One of them will be an "Inversion" theme (white on black) for black SL75 and another most likely will be a MAC X theme for snow white SL75. Both fully animated.

  • this fone is jst the best much beta than the sl55 or sl65 the desighn is more lyk the sl55 tho but gd features its great tho lol!!!!

  • This is my next phone, come on Siemens, crack on and launch it asap! My SL55 is on its last legs and this is the perfect replacement!!

  • I'm gonna buy this phone... The most important things to me when buying a phone is that it has a decent UI, and a quality build. Something that siemens do really well. I dont appreciate flashy icons and menus when you spend twice as long trying to find what you are looking for. I feel that SE and Samsung phones suffer from this. The last samsung phone I used was the E700 which had IR which you couldnt use to send files from your phone (there was no option in the menus) - what was the point, you might as well not have the hardware if the software wouldnt support it. You try and connect one to a PC - oh the fun and games. whereas at the time my siemens sl55 was really easy. I could send new java games, ringtones and wallpapers via IR. Something that was alien to the Samsung. But I do agree that siemens has somewhat let slip what they once had. Its seems like they seem to play it safe and not be at the forefront anymore. I remember when I owned S25 and arguably the best phone of its time, with other innovations that came after (sl45 - with MP3 player) and no-one can deny that the sl55 prompted the small form factor of slider phones. (nokia 7650 doesnt count cos that was a brick) I only hope that Benq ignite that now is fading and lacking in siemens phone. only a 10% improvement would make the sl75 the most desireable phone of the year

  • SL75 and S75 most likely to be released in Nov in Europe region. Just nice to meet Christmas period. This phone is a beauty with multimedia features and Real format (multi-task MP3 player) but without expandable slot.

  • I think this phone is great; but the only thing I don'T like is that it dosen't have a card slot :(:(:(. CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHEN IT WILL BE REALESED IN GERMANY??? tHaNkS

  • 2 tina !!! I cant donwload the theme creator even with the registered login!!! can some one give me a link or e-mail me this file, i can accept more than 10mb per one e-mail...

  • lets just hhope that this wil not have same problem as SL65. cos the slide will get spoilt easily. my SL65 phone is now condemed

  • Please note that SL75 is touted as a fashion phone and not a multimedia phone. Siemens will be announcing a slider phone with expanable memory slot and music dedicated key just like S75 soon. Yes, there is a theme editor tool (https://communication-market.siemens.de/portal/­main.aspx?pid=1) to customerize themes for 75 series. You need to register first in order to download it. There will be a Escada version in gold. Could be releasing in limited countries.

  • I have two questions and they are very important. 1 - will it have software to customize color themes? so i could make an inversion theme. 2 - will be the Limited Escada edition released. If the answer is no I probably will go for Serene.

  • Without a memory card slot this phone seems to be disigned for minimalism. Camera for capturing wallpaper only, while the MP3/AAC player is primarily for its ringtone. Why? Coz no memory expandability!

  • I have been eagerly awaiting the siemens sl75 and i must say i am a bit disapointed. It looks great and the features sound great but, wheres the memory card slot? Mobiles are getting advanced!!! Wake up siemens to stay in the game you must have expandable memory.

  • This phone has good features but i find that the design aesthetics aren't as good as the SL65. It's style is a lot more sophisticated though, better suited for business people or young adults.

  • If only Siemens could make a SL76 with a 850 band, I'll be for sure to buy it. If they don't I'll probably have to buy N840 which also has video ringtones as well!

  • allaround best slider on market ... if you look design + performance + Features = best phone , if you dont look design ... by far best slider would be SG75 . End of story .

  • it was a nice hp, but no mp3 ringtone, good work, germen technology !

  • how did u know that D600 has much better than this phone much MUCH MUCH much better screen quality?? did u saw the screen quality of SL75?? About the quality of SL75 i'm sure of it i tried a lot of siemens and they were great. Don't forget that it is german and that's enough.

  • ok! i respect your opinion and in fact i love the samsung and the siemens, but i prefer the siemens. sorry! but there are some pople writting that the samsung is better and i'm tired because it's clear to me that siemens have better features but we love the siemens sl75.

  • TO LEIRO listen im just looking at all the phone and i see some 1 saying something stupid so i say that it isnt treu and i give my opinion about the design and i still think its a childish phone but dont get me wrong i never said it was a ugly phone and i think that the d600 is a bit more mature then this phone but that my opinion

  • i agree with you...d600 have better features, but i prefer this phone because i love it, and don't say stupid things like the desing is childish because this is really gorgeous! relax and please post your opinions in the samsung d600 place, if they are talking bad!

  • one thing d600 cant compete with is this phones superb design!

  • lol squal the d600 is much better then this phone much MUCH MUCH much better screen quality u can add more memory to the phone and this one doesnt even have a slot the design of this phone is kinda childish and how do u know that the quality of the phone is better? think before u say something stupid. i agree this is a nice phone but the d600 is much better and i think ure the opnly 1 that thinks that this phone is better

  • Siemens mobile do have reliability problem, their phones are fragile & short battery life. They are also over price!

  • I don't think that D600 is better. first of all SL75 supports real video and real audio. second it has Advanced User Interface Customization. third it has better design and quality and so on...

  • just to help you guys do a mental conversion of the rough retail price: Euro 400=492US$=650AU$=824SG$=272GB Pound=589CA$

  • it's going to cost around Euro 400. it looks very pretty and irressistible with all the necessary functions packed in. but it would still be a very hefty cost to get it without a good mobile plan or a trade-in.

  • i'm with you lilly! polar white is gorgeous but if you want it you have wait to december and i can't, i buy it silver in october.

  • I think this phone is in some ways better than the Samsung D600. Not only have they 3 colours to choose from, black, silver and polor white (which I really like), but also this phone doesn't look so phoney plastic. I think this phone looks more high quality thatn the samsung one which tends to look like plastic. The only thing what I do prefer more is the cute extra speaker which the samsung has and the siemens doesn't.

  • i,m reading the opinions and i'm sad to read about samsung d600! it's true d600 have better features but for some of us card slot is not important and for me the siemens have a cooler desing and i prefer siemens and nokia menu! please go to the page of the samsung to post your opinion about the d600, don't sad me!

  • i can't wait! i really love this phone, i buy it the first day. people say that samsung d600 is better and it's true but this mobile have a better design and i prefer a european phone because the menu is easier for me. i love siemens and nokia!

  • those dummies at siemens/benQ need to make a quad-band slider

  • There are not infra red port and card slot in this phone. But I think 52 MB internal memory will be enough.

  • Hi I read some where this phone has a R-S-MMC card slot???????

  • Nice Design! But why there are no card slot and infrared port? Will the battery compatable with S65/CX65? I am interesting to the new Siemens OS. Hope the good things in last generation OS will be kept.

  • Hei! in one of tabloid in my country it says that SL 75 has a memory card slot and now you said in the specs that SL 75 hasn't got memory card slot?

  • According to a mobile phone magazine, Siemens is joining venture with BenQ. Siemens give the right to BenQ to produce mobile phones for Siemens starting from the 1st of October, for a period of 18 months. They are keepig the Siemens name/logo on the mobile phone products, but actually they are called BenQ-Siemens.

  • Gentlemen!!!!!!!! This a fashion mobile, not business or entertainment device Just look fabulous touch and finish from siemens you won�t find it in others There is S75 & SXG75 will fill all your needs. .

  • Huge phone ! Why so wide & thick ? !!! Samsung D600 is better in all areas !!!

  • this phone is my dream phone IN siemens

  • Why r Siemens all of a sudden making such huge phones?!!! SL55 was so tiny, then sl65 was huge and ugly, and now this!! with a little bit more effort, they coulda made this such a great phone.

  • Nothing about this phone can compare to the Samsung D600. This phone has inferior features. This phone is also wider, thicker, lower resolution, NO card slot etc. etc... The look is at the most...Average !

  • the phone is unique,elegent and features are good.

  • keypad design is not very good.. ugly .. like snake skin.. :(

  • To be honest. If this phone comes out in september with Samsung D600. Would this phone even have a second thought? The spec of the Samsung D600 is alot better plus the fact, Samsung D600 would appeal more with the previous success of the D500.

  • Phone is not even out yet!

  • it is a good phone receptions ok. Camera makes a very stupid lound click that cannot be quieted makeing the camera useless at anywere quiet.

  • the phone looks great i will surely have it since i had SL55 and SL65 also. but there are some little bugs like no Irda and no slot card and little dsiplay resolution(D600 has 240x320). anyway...i thought it will smaller but from description results it is even bigger than SL65.

  • what concerns me more is that it does not have the 850 band.

  • Why it doesn't have a memory card? Memory card is really important to do a lot of things. It uses to save MP3 songs, video player, etc. Why did the producer discharge the infrared port?

  • Wow, such a beautiful and full-function mobile! I want this phone! Really!

  • This fone looks cool. Bt i need to no. How long duz the video camera run for i mean i herd the Samsung D500 runs for 3hours bt i cant afford that fone jst now!!! Thnx v.much!!! x

  • mind blowing,masterpeice

  • And don't forget the supporting for *.rm & *.ram files too. This is a great from Siemens.

  • I think the problem of slide type phone is keypad size. Because it is small and located in lower side, it is very difficult to press keys when I write SMS or MMS. I think it may have same problem. No??

  • Wow, such a great looking phone, id certainly have one of these if they had put a card slot in there, such a shame :(

  • SL75 describes a beautiful sense of technology.It looks like SL55 but it's bigger and more beautiful.Thera are so much changes in capacity memory,features and LCD resolution.My dream is having this handset.oh...could I ??

  • Wery nice design and features are not so bad.I think this phone will change te SX70 or S65.I thin it will cost about $200-225

  • To Karma: I'm thinking about this and the Nokia 6111 too. In my opinion, I would not even think about the V6. THe finishing touches looks great, but 5mb? That's just a V551 and V560 with improved screen and shell. ITs not as thin as V3. Monochrome display? The SL75 have video ringtone, for God's sake! I'm torn between the Siemens and Nokia. Nokia's design seem a little better but Siemens seems much cooler with the extra features.

  • This phone looks SO nice! I wanna have it! I don't even miss the memorycard...I'm not gonna use it as an mp3-player, because I already have my own 5gb mp3player. And just for photo's, 52mb is plenty! 10 out of 10!

  • If Siemens wouldn't just focus on Design... I think thats the problem with many Phone Manufacturers, especially non-mainstream one's like Alcatel, Sendo and Philips. Design is important, but a high-res screen is not that expensive anymore, and a Card Slot will make this phone last twice as long. I use 50 MB like this...10 MP3's and that's about it. My GX30 (Sharp) is perfect in providing a CCD 1.0 MPx Camera, SD-Memory and Bluetooth. I got a 256 MB card, stereo headset and off one goes. People are willing to spend some money on a quality phone, and with the great features Siemens provides, it now just needs that bit extra hardware to land back in the top 5.

  • this phone supprot multitasking , update fw with gprs , edge , advanced ui interface ( you can change anything from icons to the lines and meny order ! ! ! ) there is no phone with that still ... and it looks so godly

  • nice mobile for a siemens keep up the gud work

  • I don't know which fone to buy now, this fone looks great. Motorola V6 pebl, Nokia 6111 or this? what du u lot think?

  • very beautiful phone, 10 out of 10 for the design. cant complain about the specs, maybe the card slot is missing

  • this phone is great i really want this this is my dream phone in siemens!!

  • supports Multitasking and new meni ... 12 icons 3x4 itd... you can find pictures on the net ... by far most beautiful phone ever made ...

  • It's certainly cute, and fairly distinctive too, although I'm not sure it's better looking than the SL65 that it's intended to replace, and the design seems more conservative, if anything. The 1.3MP camera on Siemens phones have not been as good as the 1MP on Nokias up till now, so we'll see if this baby can catch up with the rest of the pack. Having said that, this handset will come only 8 weeks or so before the wave of 2MP phones from Nokia, Samsung & Motorola, with SE and Sharp already having 2MP handsets on the market. So if, as they claim, Siemens are aiming for the top of the market they'll miss by some distance with the SL75....I'd imagine this will sell as a fashion item rather than a serious top-end phone. The lack of 3G would rule it out in any case. Most serious of all is the fixed, non expandable memory. Once again this is an example of a manufacturer trying to rush a product out and sell it on its "key features" without giving thought to the actuale usability of those same features.

  • why 1.3, they need 2.0 :D

  • They got the design right, its a nice lookin phone, its got decent features an EDGE is always a bonus, still think the samsung D600 will be a much better fone tho.

  • Not good.. Bad screen, and lack of memory card.

  • yippiee im 1st 2 write a comment bout dis fone! i like it! even though i hate seimens as they are so hard and complicated to use but this looks great! part from 52mb shared memory aint much to say you have in there a 1.3 megapixel camera and an mp3 player! and with no expandable memory, sorry mate but youre abit screwed!
