Summary: Excellent Phone REALLY enjoy it!
Review: I have this phone for 3 months now and absolutely love it in every way! The phone is small, fun, attractive and loaded with features: downloadable color graphics, ringtones and games, e-mail and internet accessibility, address and phone books, calendar, alarm & alarm clock, etc. You can assign different images & ringtones for turning on and turning off the phone, as your screensaver and for different callers. I did this for fun as well as for easy identification. IThe quality of the graphics and ringtones are great, considering its price - it's probably free now. I can clearly see the graphics and images on my phone without tilting the phone even under direct sunlight. I have no problem with the volume of the ringtones - it is comparable to my other old phones. Since you can download ringtones from the internet, you have the option of picking a louder and higher-pitch ringtone. And I love the speaker phone feature and use it often in the car and when my friends want to join the chat.

Summary: Great phone for a great price.
Review: I've had my new Siemens M56 for about a week now and I really like it. When I bought it, it seemed like the best phone for the price, and now that I've used it for a while I'm convinced I made the right decision.

This little phone has just about everything you'd need in a phone short of PDA functionality and built-in photos (though you can buy a camera accessory for it.) The phone is small, sleek, stylish and incredibly lightweight. It sports a color screen and an address book that holds 500 contacts including home phone, work phone, mobile phone, fax email, address, etc.) If you're into it, it's quite a stylish little phone with it's color scheme, small size and LED lights that can be set to flash (or not) differently for rings, voice mails, charging, etc. It also sports some other nice features such as speaker phone, backgrounds and screensavers, polyphonic ringtones and some decent games.

My only two complaints are fairly minor. One, the screen for the phone is flush with the keypad and the rest of the phone rather than inset a bit or protected like on flip phones. This makes the screen prone to scratches, unless protected by a cover. Second, the polyphonic ringtones and speaker phone really aren't very loud even at max volume. Neither of these, however, has been a huge problem for me.

This is a great phone, particularly for the price. I recommend it to anyone who's interested in getting the most bang for your buck without spending $250+ on a phone.

Summary: Best reception ever!
Review: I've had this phone for 3 weeks and have never had such clear reception before! I go through cell phones like water and have gone through Motorola's to Samsungs, and can't believe the quality of this Siemens phone! Yes, it's a bit small and the keys takes some getting used to...but all of my calls are crystal clear and the person on the other end can't even tell that I'm on a cell phone!

Also, the M56 has a great speakerphone that is quite loud, and again, the other person can understand me on the other end.

The phone is also very durable. I've dropped it a few times and never had any problems. The keys are solid and the look and feel of the phone is very impressive. This is a German phone and is of high quality.

Summary: Good little phone
Review: This is my first cell phone and I am excited to be a part of the 21st century, finally! I like that I can put my phone easily into my pockets at work(I wear scrubs); the sound is great (better than any landline phone I ever had) and the icons are terrific. I just wish the key pads were a different color, and I also wish the headset didn't hurt my ear. Otherwise, I am very happy. It feel unique because I don't see anyone else with a phone like mine, and I would rather have my small, cute little phone than those big, bulky-looking silver things.

Summary: the best phone i've ever had!
Review: this phone is truly amazing. just to start out on how amazing it is my sister washed my coat with the phone in the pocket and it still works with no problems at all. the battery (regardless of what others have said) lasts for about a week with out me turning it off ever. it is easy to figure out and the display of it all is very nice. it has great ways of telling you about voice mail and text messeges as well. the one and only problem with this phone is that b/c it is not a flip phone the screen gets kind of scratched but it really isn't an issue.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: It looks cool, but that's about it
Review: This was my first cell phone ever and it certainly does everything it is advertised to do, but the ringer is quiet even on the highest volume setting (I don't know anyone who would consider the highest volume setting too loud, so who knows why the option is there). I've trained myself to hear the ring, so it is okay, I suppose.

Everything else is great. I'm a big fan of the lights on the side that you can configure differently if you have a voice mail or if particular people have called you, etc.

Summary: Don't use AT&T!!
Review: Tried switching a current number to AT&T told it would take 3-5 days. Still waiting after 3 weeks. While phone number is being switched over could not take a call could only make calls. Paying full price a month for half a phone. Tried getting help from their customer service shortest time waited was 20 min the most was 25 min. Very bossy and rude customer service. Never got a straight answer from anyone. Always recieved conflicting answers. Would not recommend this service to anyone. Will return the phones and cancel service this week.
The Phone worked well but the buttons are far too small. Menus are confusing and the manual is very unclear. Could not get any help from AT&T to use the phone.
Bottom line don't buy this phone especially don't use AT&T!!!
