Siemens Cell Phones

The Bottom Line: The Siemens SX66 is a decent smart phone for users who like the form factor and need world-roaming capabilities, but we were less than pleased with Cingular's service.

Specs: Cingular Wireless, GSM 850/900/1800/1900; GPRS, Up to 240 min, 7.4 oz

The Bottom Line: Despite a few perfunctory extras, the CT66 is geared toward those looking for a basic cell phone.

Specs: GSM 850/1800/1900 (Tri-Band), Up to 300 min, With digital camera, 3 oz

The Bottom Line: The S66 packs a wealth of multimedia and communications features into a typically slick-looking Siemens package.

Specs: Cingular Wireless, GSM 850/1800/1900 (Tri-Band), Up to 300 min, With digital camera, 3.5 oz

The Bottom Line: Though its design needs some tweaks, the basic and functional Siemens CF62T should please casual callers.

Specs: T-Mobile, GSM 900/1800/1900 (Tri-Band), Up to 300 min, 3 oz

The Bottom Line: Although the C61's feature set is hardly eye-opening, those looking for a basic cell phone with good performance will be satisfied.

Specs: Cingular Wireless, GSM 850/1900 (Dual Band), Up to 270 min, 3 oz

The Bottom Line: Shutterbugs and music lovers will warm to the SX1, but the split keypad will cause headaches. We also wish it had better battery life.

Specs: GSM 900/1800/1900 (Tri-Band), Up to 240 min, 0.3 lbs

The Bottom Line: Shutterbugs and music lovers will warm to the SX1, but the split keypad will cause headaches. We also wish it had better battery life.

Specs: No Carrier, EGSM 900 / GSM 1800/1900 (Tri-Band), Up to 240 min, 4.1 oz

The Bottom Line: Though it comes with a rich feature set, the M56 is mainly designed for teens and will not appeal to all mobile buyers.

Specs: AT&T Wireless, GSM 850/1900 (Dual Band), Up to 300 min, 3 oz

The Bottom Line: Siemens's most stylish mobile to date has a decent feature set, but its high price and tiny keypad may be deterrents for some.

Specs: AT&T Wireless, GSM 850/1900 (Dual Band), Up to 180 min, 2.8 oz

The Bottom Line: If you can live with its mediocre battery life, this Siemens offers a plethora of high-end features in a compact package.
