I bought this one in december 2005 through ebay at 1500..yes I got this phone at that price.
I have a Nokia 3310 and siemens S65.I thought of buying this just for a fun but I am using this as my regular phone now
But I will say that comparing all the features this one is worth having.The design is well suited to fit even inside a tight fit jeans.Becoz of it Hard nature it doesnt need that much care while handling.keypads are good for typing SMS and very good in dark also.I didnt got an original battery from the manufacturer, but the performance is ok.
And one more thing I liked with this is that after getting charged full, it will be switched off automatically unlike many newer Siemens models.
If you are a true siemens fan like me u should have it with you eventhough it doesnt have that much feautures.But as a Basic phone, its more than enough
