BenQ-Siemens EF61 Mia

Had This BenQ-Siemens EF61 Mia Phone For Over 3 years No Problems At All. Apart from the occasional crashing the phone was fine.Good Value for Money Not Recomended To Anyone Who Is Not Too Delicate.

The BenQ-Siemens EF61 Mia is a really good phone does what you want... the mirror good for a women.

Although it seems to be good value for money, it is the slowest phone I've ever seen and is extremely unreliable. It takes about 5 minutes just for it to switch on and load properly so you can send a quick text, and the camera is pretty awful. The mirror makes it a nightmare to see in daylight, and the design is pretty horrible as well.

Like the mirror on it and the BenQ-Siemens EF61 Mia it is kinda good. Got about 22 songs on it just now had it for a year and now a way to change to the lg shine. I would recommended it if you're careful otherwise it will get bashed, !!!!

The EF61 Mia phone is good although very unreliable i have had this phone for a year with no problems and all of a sudden it has frozen, the whole screen has gone blank! Girly design yet slow, needs charging everyday unreliable. Also the front paint chips easily. Wouldn't recommend.

I don't rate the BenQ-Siemens EF61 Mia, as when you're outside, you're unable to make out anything on the screen except the mirror. Can't wait to change it. It's fine if you want to admire yourself.

The clock on my phone broke within a month of owning it. As it's out of the initial 28 day warranty I had to go directly to Siemens. They told me I'd have to send it to them for repair. Still waiting over a week later! Not what I'd call good service!

I don't know if this is a general fault or just me! When texting, if you type a word that it doesn't recognise, you have to type it in the dictionary. Great, I hear you say! But... every time you switch it off, it loses everything in the dictionary!

The supposed 1.3 mega pixel camera is nowhere near the quality of my last phone which had a VGA camera. The only time it takes a half decent photo is in sunlight. But even then, due to the "mirror" you can't see what you're taking! The mirror is a good idea in theory but as soon as you get a small amount on sunlight reflected onto the screen, it turns into the mirror. You can adjust the brightness settings but it's still not great.

I had my first Mia stolen when I'd only had it for 3 weeks so I naively bought another one to replace it. I wish I hadn't bothered!

I wish I hadn't bought the BenQ-Siemens EF61 Mia phone. It basically looks very nice but I'm forever having to charge it and as soon as I can afford another phone, I'll buy a Nokia again!!!

I brought this phone about 3 weeks ago and I can't wait to change it. I find that you need to press a lot of keys to be able to do simple things like make a call.... my phone usually lives in a back trouser pocket and even after 3 weeks it's very battered and the case is chipped. Until now i have used Motorala phones and can't wait to change back. I personally would not recommend this phone........

A nice looking phone, nice design, and good features on it, although you won't use the mirror as much as you might think.

Good that it has an SD card for extra memory, and good speaker for playing music.

Lots of space for messages, good camera on it.

Overall, I was very excited about getting this phone, even though many people told me of bad experiences with Siemens phones. After this experience, I won't be buying another Siemens phone, as one I bought my boyfriend also didn't work properly even after swapping it for another, again including a problem with the battery holding charge.

I managed to get it cheaper than £79.99 as I got staff discount, but if I hadn't been able to get a discount, I wouldn't have bothered getting it as it was a bit expensive for what it is.
