Siemens SK65

 

Research in Motion's (RIM) Blackberry device might be a fantastic innovation that allows you to keep in touch with email on the move but its not the most sexy looking unit on the block. Siemens however believes it might just be able to help RIM out.

The Blackberry client, style, keyboard

Size, screen resolution, no camera or mp3 player, keyboard spilt down the middle

With a promise of 250 hours standby and 300 minutes talk time this phone should last you through a good day on the phone. The phone also has Quad-band support making this live up to its business worker approach and mean that you aside from Japan you...

Siemens SK65 review

 

The Qwerty keyboard layout was designed to slow down typists on mechanical typewriters. Despite many attempts to usurp it, after 50 years of computing all we've managed to do is to augment Qwerty with the mouse - and now we're stuck with it.

Well done Siemens for an unashamedly businesslike phone with a powerful set of features, including the BlackBerry push email client. And well done for coming up with an innovative design yet maintaining that reassuringly solid, over-engineered feel of...

That's curious the reason of not manufacturing a real smartphone was hidden with some rhetorical phrases sounded on a presentation on the 2 of August in London. Lothar Pauly on of the directors in Siemens Mobile and later a president of Siemens Com...

At CeBIT Lothar Pauly and Rudi Lamprecht (one of the directors of Siemens Mobile for that moment) told Siemens S65 was an excellent business solution equipped with a 1.3 megapixel camera allowing not only taking photos but also shooting video. The fact...

Siemens SK65 review

 

Siemens turned some heads (pun sort of intended) last year with their announcement of their SK65, a pretty radical form factor departure from the regular QWERTY keyboard-equipped mobile communicators out there. And what's more, they produced a...

Siemens SK65

 

Siemens' SK65 smartphone has Research In Motion's Blackberry solution built in, plus an innovative 'cross-to-type' keyboard.

Siemens would not give pricing for any of the three SK65 variants but expects the phone to become available in November in Europe, Middle East and Latin America with other regions to follow shortly afterwards (a local release date could not be given at...

Siemens SK65 (Tri-Band)

 

Where the SK65's rating was of concern, our 4 stars award was well justified by its all round features. The SK65 worked well as a mobile phone with hardly a glitch throughout our test period. Useful applications such as the Organizer, Survival...

Siemens SK65

 

SK65 claims to be the first handset to offer complete email management with BlackBerry Built-In technology.

In order to come to the end I would like to add that there aren't any problems between the actually phone manager and the phone itselves. “Synching” and anything else works perfectly. Both with Outlook, and with Lotus Notes, owing to XTND Connect. The...
