General Comments
To start with, the Siemens SF65 mobile phone was terrific value for money when I bought it almost 10 months ago. I wasn't expecting much, and I was pleasantly surprised. The camera quality is very good in daylight, and the pictures it takes look fantastic. Using the camera in the dark is acceptable, but the flash hardly affects what you can see. Also, there is a lot of room to store photo's - I'm not even half way to filling it. The folder organisation could have been better as you have to search through all your photo's every time you want to find the one you want, instead of being able to place them in folders (birthdays, holidays etc). The only major gripe I have is the fact you can only have 10 messages in your inbox. This is really unacceptable in today's phones. Also, don't expect your phone to be able to sustain any knocks. I dropped mine about 2ft and the buttons on the side fell off. Battery life is good as long as the phone remains closed for most of the time, because as soon as any applications are used the power drops dramatically.
For a cheap pay as you go phone that does what you want it to do with the added extras of an excellent camera, look no further.
