Siemens SL65 mobile phone Mobile Phone
The SL65 is the replacement for the Siemens SL65 slide-phone. The SL55 promised a lot but failed to deliver, so we were interested to find out how the SL65 stacked up. From the outside the SL65 looks even more gorgeous than the SL55 with its two-tone body and compact slide design. However, with the SL55, the beauty was just skin deep, so we need to look further to find out what the SL65 is really made of.The first thing to say is that the SL65 is larger than the SL55 and is 20 grams heavier! That's a huge increase for a phone whose principle selling point was its small lightweight design and was bought mainly by young women. The design is also a lot more masculine-looking than the SL55. We can't help wondering who this phone is really aimed at, and whether Siemens even know.Having said that, the SL65 compares reasonably well with its rivals in terms of features. Its price places it at the top of the mid-range camera phone sector, so we'd expect it to have all of the features that are present in its competitors, and it mostly does. Its screen is a high-quality 65k TFT display, although at just 130 x 130 pixels it's smaller than many. It has a VGA camera with video recorder, although the resolution of the video is coarse and the maximum length of video clips is 30 seconds. It lacks Bluetooth wireless connectivity and high-speed data, but does include a digital voice recorder and integrated handsfree speaker. Overall its specification is good but not outstanding, especially when you consider the price. In fact the cheaper Siemens CX65 has greater functionality than the SL65, so it is clear that what you are paying for is the "cool" slide-up design and the looks of the phone.It's certainly a lot better on the inside than the old SL55, but once again, the best bit of the SL65 is the outside!
