BenQ-Siemens CL75 Review

The BenQ-Siemens CL75 is a beautifully designed & highly attractive mobile phone. The phone comes with a smooth clamshell opening & in a choice of beautiful designs which include silk flower red & pin striped black. The phone is focused towards the feminine market as it comes with a screen display that works as a mirror which is a great added feature. The BenQ-Siemens CL75 is from the same family as the special edition BenQ-Siemens CL75 Poppy & they are both very style conscious mobile phones.

The CL75 has dual screens which gives the user the option of seeing who is calling before opening the clamshell handset. The external screen provides a CSTN 65k colour display which is small but very effective. The internal screen provides a clear 262k colour TFT type display with 128 x 160 pixel resolution. The user can capture photos with the use of the integrated VGA camera or record those special moments using the built in video recording feature. The video recorder comes with a playback feature which allows the user to save & store video which can be played back very easily. The phone comes with pre loaded screensavers, wallpapers & themed displays which allow the user to personalise their BenQ-Siemens CL75 to their own personal preference.

I love my phone it is fabulous & yes it does look girly but without being tacky. It does however occasionally crash when you play games but has been quite reliable. I just wish it had some better games on it & a better choice of ringtones. Apart from that it is the best phone I have ever had.

It freezes a lot, do not get this phone. But it is good. You can buy it if you want if you want the phone to freeze. Be my guest.

Well I just purchased this phone. It certainly looks cool & snazzy but how do I know its looks will reflect its use?

OK! Wow what a phone I have!

First I began to think as it is so nice it will never turn out to be a good phone, but never the less I thought who cares it looks nice. But I was totally wrong!

It is fantastic, everyone admires it, and it's so handy. The camera is brilliant, I didn't think it would be the best of quality but it sure is brill! Takes brilliant clear photos & stores many. The video recorder does not record for so long but don't worry that is no important.

Overall this phone is great all you ever will want in a phone is all tucked in to this glamorous high quality phone!

Enjoy using it -it's worth EVERY penny!

My fella bought me this phone for xmas, looks lovely & girly but I've had nothing but problems with it, when I make a call it vibrates constantly after I disconnect, I have to remove battery to stop it, & when I send a text message it vibrates when its sent, I have turned off all the vibrate options, its mad.

This phone seems great when you first get it, beautiful & nice to hold. Don't be fooled by its looks. After a while it becomes extremely boring there is no blue tooth & it can't even play real tunes don't bother buying it is a waste of money

My CL75 is the best phone ever. It is gorgeous to look at & every time I pick it up it brings a smile to my face, not many phones do that for their owner. It is easy to use & although some may say it is still a bit on the basic side with its features, I feel it has enough. The camera is really good fun & I have quite a good selection of gorgeous photos now. I think this is the most perfect phone going & not a bad price when compared to other camera phones.

Battery is appalling on this phone. My girlfriend has it & she is forever moaning about it. She adores the design & style but the battery is a real problem.

Pretty phone but the connectivity is not as good as I was looking for so I couldn't get it. No Bluetooth which I need. Loving the look of it & wish it had Bluetooth because all of the Bluetooth, Edge & 3G phones are a little dull looking when compared to the look of the CL75 & CL75 Poppy.

TA well designed phone & it is very eye catching. It is so easy to use & the features are really enjoyable & simple. The only down side is that the camera quality is poor & I was expecting a better finish to my photos. All in all it is a very good phone but the camera feature needs working on. Like the poppy edition very much but own the silk red flower design.
