The
Siemens S65 is the top-of-the-range model in the Siemens xx65 series.
The S65 comes in an austere black and sliver finish, and gives a
feeling of solid technical superiority. The phone is a traditional
candy-bar design of medium size and weight, so it feels solid and
purposeful.
The
display is large, although not so high resolution as competitors
like the Sony Ericsson K700i.
It's a good quality screen, using TFT technology and 65k colours.
Overall a very good screen, although not the best in its class.
The
camera is one of the few megapixel cameras currently available,
with a resolution of 1.3 megapixels, making it nearly as good as
anything else available. However, it cannot match the quality of
the Sony Ericsson S700i, the Nokia 7610 or the Sharp GX30. There
is also a video camera and sound recorder. The video camera is capable
of recording short clips only.
Connectivity
includes a Bluetoothâ„?option, and the phone is easy to sync
with a PC. Memory capacity is good with exchangeable 32 Mbyte memory
cards for storing data, in addition to the internal memory.
The
S65 could have been a fantastic phone but it is badly let down by
software and reliability issues. We have deducted two stars from
our score for this reason. Read our user reviews below for an idea
of the sorts of problems to be expected from the S65.
