The phone is just the bomb. Its just that my country does not have good mobile connectivity with the Internet & if it finally does, its expensive. The phone looks so simple yet has lots of unbelievable packages. I only wish that radio can be included. Its just what I call 'SMALL BUT MIGHTY'.

This phone is not for everyone particularly not for Nokia fans. Main qualities & strong points of S68 is simplicity & build quality. It's equipped with Bluetooth, 262000 colors display, dual speakers, which is equal to phone features. If you need music get an I-Pod or for photos camera. This is what a phone should be. Those phones with 2-3 mega pixels cameras are toys compare with any basic digit camera & they invented I-Pod for music, so thing again. You have a metal front plate something that a lot of phones 5 times of the price of s68 don't have.

I can go on an on but as a conclusion it's a phone with excellent design, user friendly features, top build quality. If showing of in front of your friends is not your issue this phone is perfect for you.

Very good looking, stylish phone. Good features. However, it's so slow! I believe it has software problems doubled by a very slow chip. It's not user friendly at all.

- Takes three times the time it takes on Nokia to send a simple message!
- Switches off unexpectedly.
- Very bad battery performance!
- Java programs do not fit the screen.
- Messages interrupted by calls get lost.
- System messages are so annoying.
- Very slow to respond to commands.

Now can't sell it even for half the price to buy a decent phone! Don't buy it! Stay away from Siemens.

I've read one review where someone is saying the software is not totally stable. I agree. Don't pretend this phone isn't for showing off, it so is, but in a classy understated way that makes all my colleagues want to have a good look & try out the weight of it. I have to say, I am loving this phone, only problem is, one of the games goes a bit loopy if I am too good at it. This is the first phone I've had that crashes! Still, it's real class.

A perfect abstracted phone in a world where flashy features have swamped the world of mobile telephony! I love it for its friendliness of use & its functionality & simplicity. This phone is slim, light, with good battery autonomy & above all of high quality (solidly made) & astonishing value for money (here in Greece it sells for about 110E).

Great style & functionality, I love it. No disturbing functions nobody needs & super slim & light, the design is almost the same as The Siemens EF81, magnesium metal kit with a very big colour display, & which I like best big buttons! Sorry but I got quite big fingers & it is hard for me to push one letter instead of two on other mobiles. The S68 is, I guess, mostly suitable for business purposes & on the other hand for people that get confused easily with mobiles. I can really recommend this phone...

Being used to Nokia's I decided to try this subtly designed & sleekly slim Siemens phone. It's big enough & small enough, if you know what I mean. Love the slimness & build of it, as well as the large screen, & the fact that it is not loaded with a camera (why can't you buy cameras with a phone? :-$), radio or teasmade. Got used to the menus now. Downside. Lack of a choice of 'themes'. I don't want the sky background, I just want a plain screen, no distractions - surely it can't be too difficult to include this option?

Designed for users who want quality in their life & know how to get it. Music can be heard on a hi-fi on much better quality, pictures can be taken with a digital camera on much better quality & phones can be used to communicate & not to show off.

Perfect design, slim, light weight, aluminum exterior to last, many contacts to store all possible information from birthday to URL & home phones to business e-mail, perfect calendar to store reminders, more than enough memory for all these, wap to connect a laptop to Internet when required & that's it. For all others I am sorry but they have to buy something else. The market is full of mobile phones to satisfy all users.

Great classic look to this model. I am not into flip & swivel phones & prefer a phone to look like a phone. Great dimensions & weight for the S68. It has all the important features that I would use like Bluetooth, GPRS, MMS or SMS messaging & media player. I haven't owned a BenQ Siemens phone before but my boss has recommended that I take a look at the range as he is 100% happy with his phone.
