Siemens ST55 - User Reviews

  • Display was actually pretty good for the time!

  • i have st55 siemens without kepad circut but it is working and its brand new because it is out from service center the phone is never used and it is not unliocked i dont have its charger and other acessories but have its spare parts if intrested reply

  • Regret to have wasted my money on this phone. I was duped by the screen size thinking it was fully feature loaded gizmo. Anyway thats bygone en am happy no more of them in the market.

  • Unless you're a collector of mediocre phones, I wouldn't bother trying to track the ST55 down. In any case, eBay and the like are your best bets in finding this phone. Hell, I would sell you mine if my daughter hadn't accidentally trashed it. Technically, Siemens didn't create the ST55. They bought the model from an obscure Asian mobile manufacturer - Chinese or Taiwanese, I can't remember - and slapped the Siemens brand name on it. The Smart Tool was a joke that was mysteriously pulled from the official site and there were basically no accessories for it. Good luck in your search for it though. ;)

  • No comments here since the last 2 years, i guess all the people who had this phone have a new1 now. I am also a nokia user, I always wanted this phone, anyway if I can still fine this phone for $50? I have the n97 but for some reason I still like to have this phone.

  • A BenQ version of the ST55? It'll never happen. For starters, BenQ recently shut down the Siemens division. Second, mobiles have advanced way beyond the ST55. As a matter of fact, a lot of phones were superior to the ST55 even when it was brand new on the market back then! This phone is basically dead now.

  • where is the new of ST55 Benq Siemens

  • ^^^very simple,just get yourself a phone that does^^

  • help,help,....,help with SIEMENS ST55 , i have smart tool v1.91 installed to pc , the data cable is also installed , when i start "smart tool" it asks me to set the port where my phone is connected so i do it , then on status textbox this message appears , wait handset response , then , handset disconnected , please help.

  • mh very mistery handy cause over a night i wanted to charge the akku...the next day i can't turn my handy on.had somebody the same problem?dont know if it is the akku which is broken.pls help

  • There are two words which explain the Siemens ST55 in whole: IT SUCKS! I too was wooed by the pretty looks, camera, 65k screen and all. These are all great, and still are, but be warned; it has many software flaws, and you may not realise it in the beginning, but you will definitely realise it after a while. Mine had a glitch which deleted ALL MY DATA!! And it has a huge problem with MMSs. My opinion - I'm telling you from experience - DON'T GET IT!

  • it is one of the worst mobiles.. good looking, indeed, but many soft problems.. it turned off for good and had to give it to service... the zoom doesn't work.. but at least i can record 4x10 sec melodies as ringtones :)i do not recommend it.. i regret my choice

Now it is broken up for good ih had it in service 3 time in total of 3 months I had the phone for one year in 3 months it was in service. It is my favourite phone but tomorow I Will go by an ugly nokia because they are more resistant. I will never buy simens phones again. It looks nice but it is crap. I repeat my favourite phone but it quit on me to many times. I paid for it 400 Euro it performed as a 1 dolar phone. But it is still my favourite. And I had many phones.

  • it's nice but it doesn't have java and it turns off with no reason so now it's on repair

  • good for: stability of software,hard case,good camera bad for: no connectivity to pc-other phones,battery life,no video,no java,small buttons.

  • i have a siemens st55 ,how can i change his software because is blocked and i need the new one.i cant turn it on,because trun off in the start and i cant use the phone please contact me

  • i sent my opinion befor but know i need this to know how i can buy cable of camera and where i beg you to sent me message telling me where i can buy one and how much thanks alot for your help

  • i like it and its very good in use but the option which is very important is missing (the infrared port + arabic language) and that makes the ST55 not desired

  • but it has good stuff to!like the display is TFT 65.536 colors and the poly-tones are cool!and can record voice up to 2min.and short tones up to 10 sec.the games are good,the battery stays charged only 2-3 days!and more... the pictures are pretty good with it`s VGA camera!and has lots of aplications!

  • this phone is pretty god,but the softwere is not so good!and you can`t change the color scheme!and the start-uptone can`t de stoped!and...more!you can`t change the sms tone!for more info go on "www.my-siemens.com"

  • Words can not begin to describe how much I hate this phone. But I'll try. 50% of the calls I make or receive the other person hears their own voice echoing back to them. There is no way to switch off the EXTREMELY LOUD start up chime. The vibrate mode is actually louder than the tone. I can hear the phone vibrating when it's upstairs and I'm downstairs. The menu has been designed by cretins and is a painful chore to navigate. The keys feel plasticky and cheap and the paint started peeling off mine within two months. There is no infra-red capability. I actually stopped using this phone about half way through my contract and got a new phone on a new network. Yes, it meant I still had to pay line rental for six months until my contract was done, but beter that than be driven insane by this garbage. Avoid at all costs.

  • I really like this phone but the only thing idon't like is that it doesn't have bluetooth and infared port.men you guys should do something to the this stuff cos is for help.Thanks i will looking forward t othis adjustment.

  • i have this phone but with t-online software and i dont have any problems with it it is a bit slower than my old nokia but the display is great and it looks great it has 4 mb of ram actualy but separated for different things like mms, foto album, contacts and stuff 4 mb is enough it would be nice if seiemens would allow us to share the memory the way we like it i hope some new version of software will come out soon

  • Any body know if you can get keypresses for the ringtones composer to compose any good ringtones? And i get wallpapers & ringtones sent to my phone but i can't load them onto my phone? Can anyone help? Thanks

  • I really like this phone, except for some things that have been mentioned here: battery life is terrible. one day and half if you're taking pictures or playing with it some. No bluetooth, no IR, no cable, the only way to get pix out of it is thru MMS and that costs 75 cents a pop here in Oz. Phone shops tell me they can't even GET a cable for it. Why didn't it cone with one, since there's no other way to talk to it? I wanted some ringtones, no way to get them, so I recorded some. Beautiful. You have to hold it really close to the sound and it works very well after a few tries. The screen is the best. Made by Arima in Taiwan. Software must be Siemens cos it's sucky like their others.

  • Where the h... you are changing tone of incomming message? Anyone can help?

  • I've bought this model for 179euros. It's full of bugs (some error messages aren't comprehensible). It doesn't support java. It has a resolution of 640/480 for the camera, and the quality is not so bad. a foto full quality is about 35Ko. minimal quality : 6Ko screen : 65000 colors It has a memory of 1.5mb The MMS module is GOOD, easy of use. The lifetime of the battery (idle, with no call, no mms, no sms, no schedule, with full network) 3 days and 6 hours. no data cable provided. hand free without echo or distorsion of the sound (very good !!!) I'll try to return it to my provider, it doesn't satisfy me a lot, I'll take the ST60... for more informations, go to the siemens website.

  • I need program to istalation phone simens st55 witch the PC komputer.I have cable. Please Help mi. Thanks you.

  • Please tell which software I have to use to transfer photos from mobile to PC. And which cabel I have to use, Please HELP ME...

  • Good quality, bright and big screen, loud melodies, ... . Only the battery is disappointing: always flat in max. 3 days even when only stand by. My former Nokia 6310i did 2 weeks!

  • This phone ST55 is shame for Siemens.No IR port,battery for 2 days only without tolk,camera very bad quality,no data cable and software, menu is very difficult.I had a lot models of Siemens before, but this is the worst.

  • Oh~~I find it, siemens' software is not bad. :-)

  • Anyone knows how to reset the 2-9 hotkeys? Once I set them, I couldn't find anyway to change them, if this is true, how did Siemens' engineers design the software, very unhappy!

  • Please, tell me which is the software I've to use to transfer my PHOTOS!!! PLEASE! The Siemens (fucking) software is not WORKING! It trasfers just 2-3 photos then take the connection error! Does exist something else??? PLEASE!! I NEED!

  • Hi!!! I bought the phone two months ago. The phone burst twice. It switchd off and suspend. The PC software doesn't allow to make a copy of phonebook, diary plaer and messages. Siemens servis always removes all data from my handset.

  • Well, i have the MC60, and i�m thinking change my MC60 for this model, is so beautifull!!!!Between this and Sharp GX10, what do you prefer?I heard that the IRDA don�t work with the PC, so IRDA is no usefull on Sharp, so Siemens has better software, better screen and camera.For those who search for a mobile that has a godd screen, good camera , it�s a excelent mobile, who needs Java anyway????The only flaw is no bluetooth or even IRDA!!!My next phone!

  • the mobile is bullshit.PLEASE DON'T BUY IT

  • LOTS OF PROBLEMS? Because this phone is not originally made by Siemens, Germany but was subcontracted to a Taiwanese company. Yukk.. what a shame! I'm still using the great SL45. Waiting for 2004's best from Siemens.

  • DO NOT BYE THIS MOBILE.I bought this phone and i have troble with the software,it's a buggy software,also you cant download ringtones and pictures,no IR no Bluetooth. P.S: i hade two mobile Simens ST55 and two of them hade software problem, and i hade them for like 6 days.Wrighting messages is impossible it is very slow.So do not by this mobile.

  • it's a great mobile but i wish that siemens introduce the data cable to use this mobile the way we wish because we don't have either mms or e-mail on mobile in syria so we're waiting for the soluoltion siemens

  • how can i download games and ringtones,pictures my phone?

  • yesterday I bought this phone,and I cant download pictures or sounds from internet!pleaze HELP!=]

  • forget this f.... phone! i had to repair it 2 times, and this is not the end. buggy software and no IR no Bluetooth no PC-Software....

  • i have tried to composer some ringtones, but i got problem to read the tone, how to type A2, B2, H2, P and so on. can you help me??????

  • Good mobile, good LCD and Tones. Its subtitute will be siemsns's CX65,

  • i want to know, which is better M55 or ST55 or sony-ericsson T230? reply plzzzz ....

  • When will the next water shock and dust resistand handset be available. Siemens

  • my dad just bought the phone yesterday and i was playing with it this morning. well the pace of the joystick is pretty reasonable, not too fast and not too slow. hahahha i do have a little problems with the SMS system but well i think i will just used to it soon. oh yeah i think most people are thinking about the quality of the camera, well i think it is really bad. the pictures came out rather blur, without digital zoom. i think the only decent picture taken was my self-portrait where the phone is only like 50cm away from my face. hahaha but well overall is a pretty good phone for the price. oh did i mention about the superb ringer volume. it is very loud perfect for people who are slightly deaf like me but well it is not my phone so. by the way i think guys will look nicer with the phone than girls. okay okay one last thing the phone looks better in actual. yeha that's all.

  • t610 is better, but i have a st55. coooool! best regards!

  • miracle

  • can anyone tell me the price

  • well at the momnet the only way you can send and recieve files is by downloading attachments from emails on teh phone. Data cable is planned to come out soon.

  • Can ani1 tell me is there any other way, tt i can recieve a pic from my com other than IrDa or BT?

  • thank you siemens 4 this beautiful phone i bought this phone but i found some shortage in it and thats no connection with pc or other phons imean infra bluethoot or com cable. other features and 65k coloe lcd is great but can you help me how i can connect it with my pc??plz??!!

  • I've already worked with this. It's a real bug! Shame of you Siemens!

  • Y No Irda NOR blutooth.

  • Ok th phone is ok,but it doesn't have irde or bluetooth so that pretty much sucks.The screen is very good,and camera is not bad.Wrighting messages is impossible it is so god damn slow.I hate it becous of that.All together the phone could be much better,so much better.

  • You are so good to be true i can't take my eyes of you.But there is no IR.

  • there's 2 types of memory in phones.. dynamic and shared.. what memory is upgradable?? dynamic or shared?? need help please.. thanks..

  • Please dont buy this phone. as this is not made by germans. This is made by some taiwanese company for siemens. Thats y the screen is with high color as asian countries are good in making colorful screens but lack of bluetooth, some other advance features shows that its not "Made in Germany" so i suggest that people should avoid it. and those of u who have bought it, then enjoy the colorful screen as thats all it has.

  • Why battery's Siemens not batter and another?

  • hi, how do use the vibrating option on this phone, i cant seem to find it anywhere. any help would do thanks.

  • soooooo ugly.Viva la E715

  • Nokia 6230 is much better,take that fucker!

  • this is for the guy that is between this phone and the t610. buy the t610 it has bluetooth, infared,its triband, the battery lasts for way longer and damn its i sony ericsson!

  • Well i like this mobile a lot but: no JAVA, no Infrared port, no Bluetooth what is going on anyway? no brain? Please fix it with the st55i.

  • hello!!!i want 2 buy a new mobile!now i have the sony ericsson t68i!!i like that one but i dont know if its good....tell me ur opinion plz!!!!

  • ST55 is very affordable! I like the color and its design!

  • hey guys..im between ST55 and T610 but im not sure which one to buy.can u help me????

  • This is a very nice phone with reasonable price. Eventhough without IrDA, but still worth the price. The 65K display is great! Thanks Siemens.

  • what is better?nokia 6600 or siemens st55?

  • Well, don't say stupid things "gg", all Siemens mobiles didn't have necessarly Java!! Siemens ST55 is a good phone but it looks so bad! Siemens made very nice phones in the past but now they're doing like Nokia!

  • there is no java!! how can? every old type of siemens phone also got java... but this type dun have. sign.. actually plan to buy it.. but now no java.. no way~

  • i', serching for a new phone. this one seems good, can someone out there tell me more about this b/4 i commit, PleAse help!!. I need to change my Phone, it's falling apart. dennis

  • not bad for tht price but i stick on the sx1 and when will it be avalible

  • In the fact there is no JAVA.

  • Good phone for only € 349,00. Alternative for this price: Sagem my X-6 (€ 349).

  • anyone noe how many pictures can it store?

  • i heard thar ST55 only for european market, is that true? how badly.

  • The main disadvantage of this device is not that it doesn't have BT or Irda,is the battery.It has only 140 hours of stand-by time.The price is 319 Euros ($361)simfree

  • I am on the lookout for a new cellphone, and my requirements are GPRS, Bluetooth and SyncML (so I can surf and sync with my Apple Powerbook). So far the only phones on the market with all of these are the Sony_Ericsson T68i (old and ugly), the Siemens S55 (old and ugly), and the Sony-Ericsson T610 (ugly - too square somehow). Since this phone (ST55) seems to be positioned as a T610 competitor, the absence of Bluetooth seems a real shame. If the ST55 had Bluetooth, I would have bought it, but it seems like I am stuck with the T610.

  • Where is IrDa??? This will be a big trouble to transfer photos to PC.

  • 1.2 mb memory ? i say stick withthe T610 !

  • band 900/1800, is single dual I ask is another one for band 900/1900

  • i think im going to like this stuff, but howabout the price, ihope not as expensive as nokia 7250.
