General Comments

The Siemens S55 has everything your average user right up to the business user would need, and if it hasn't got it then it can be found and downloaded easily for it. Ringtones sound great and both tones and logo's come in various formats for larger selection.
Bluetooth and Infra red ports are good and connecting it to a computer to manange the files is childs play.
Unfortunately it is let down badly by the screen. The camera that comes with it is pretty good and if the pictures are downloaded to a computer they look great but on the phones screen they look worse than awful, barely able to make out what is displayed. Texting is made easier with T9 prediction technology but is still a pain when you think you have pressed the tiny, fiddly buttons only to find you have missed a couple of letters in a long word. If you get the handset Sim-Free your going to struggle to find a pay-go network that supports all the features such as MMS.
Finaly, the battery is poor. Even with bluetooth and other features switched off, and although the manual reckons 300 hours standby, you will be lucky to get 6 days unused out of it. Start texting a lot and the time is halved or worse. I know about 12 people with this phone and although many like it none can get more than a week out of the battery.
