Small, Cheap, Good looking, Easy to use interface, Very reliable, Battery Charge lasts very well - 4 to 5 days.
Lack of infrared, and Changeable Fascias would have been nice.
My Siemens A65 mobile phone was purchased for £39.99 from Virgin Direct, and the phone came with £15 of airtime, making the phone effectively £15 which is a bargain for any phone!
The phone has 16 tone polyphonics i.e. can play 16 instrument sounds at the same time, which in a lot of cases is much better than lower end Nokia Phones, Sagem, Sendo and Alcatel.
The phone has a photo phone book (images can be multimedia in the phone). It has a calculator and timer, and the phone will take a clip on camera which was intended for a Siemens C60. This camera may be still available for this phone.
Photos are not bad on the built in screen, but when transferred by Multimedia to another phone, to transfer to PC, you notice how good the Siemens Clip On VGA Camera can be.
A very recommendable little phone, and unfortunately has recently been discontinued.
If you want a cheap phone, rush out and buy one before they are all gone.
