General Comments

I bought this Siemens S40 mobile phone nearly a week ago and already i will have to send it back. I read reviews before i bought it and was warned of the software problems that some people encountered. Not all people had problems so i decided to try it. This would be a great phone if only it worked.

I love the dictaphone and the Infrared link and the overall look of the phone is great but after one day it started to freeze. I couldn't enter a lot of the menu and i couldn't even turn the phone off, i had to take the battery out to turn it off, which really isn't good. It then also started to have trouble reading my phone book, it only found two numbers and listed them over and over again....very frustrating.

I am tempted to try again and see if i get one that works, but i'm not sure if it's worth it.

Before buying this phone, keep in mind that it could have problems!!!! BEWARE!! And seriously, take note of reviews by others.

    Entirely agree. Avoid this phone. In the UK, if it's out of warranty Siemens will charge you aboout £30 to upgrade the software to what it should have had when you bought it!
