IT IS NOT commonally USED, THIS MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR SUITABILITY. PRESENTLY I AM LOOKING FOR THE SCREEN OF BENQ SIEMEN CF61. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THE SCREEN ALL TO NO AVAIL. PLEASE KINDLY DIRECT ME WHERE I CAN PURCHASE THE SCREEN.

It can also be nicknamed the SLOWEST PHONE EVER. Really I haven't seen a slower phone. Don't buy if you are a desperate person for calls, messages, saving & editing names, phones!

Other from that is a great phone, & for that price.

Love Siemens & love the finish on every Siemens phone I have owned. The CF61 has all the features I am looking for but I am not sure when it will be available or what the purchase price will be when it comes out. Like this phone & one other Sony phone & it depends which one comes out first.

Not had a Siemens phone before so I am a bit wary about the reliability of them but think the phone looks good. Unsure of the release date for Siemens CF61. Scored the usability lower because I haven't got anything to go on.
