General Comments

I've had an sl42e for 12 months but it has been replaced 5 times. 1st one phone sceen faulty. 2nd one switching off. 3rd one cannot scrawl through phone numbers in sim card. 4th one screen again. 5th switching off. Siemens customer services will only change the phone for refurbished ones which they guarantee work having 95% new parts!!!I had a Nokia 8210 go faulty and they replaced it straight away with a new one which has been a pleasure to use. A terribale mistake was made buying this simens phone.

    Me and my brother got the SL45 phones as it seemed to be feature rich and had a very large display. Sadly it has proved to be a big blunder, as the biggest issue with both phones (brought from seperate locations Europe and Singapore) that the display keeps fading off and you have to thump the left side of the phone to get it back and in case it does not you have to remove the battery and thump it and reinsert the battery.

    Also noticed is that when the battery is removed suddenly it looses the most recent call lists (received and sent).

    Another issue is that the MMC card tends to get loose causing the phone to crash as it stores the address and sms T9 dictionary on this card.

    On the positives there is the Mp3 player which i rarely use, the dictaphone is a pretty neat feature but the quality of the recordings is very very poor unless you are recording a call and not a discussion being held in the open. The address book is pretty neat and so is the help feature.

    Also I have been trying to use the integrated modem feature but it does not seem work, and I have given up trying to configure it.
