The Siemen C60 is a good performer, voice clarity is good and reception is clear. At Rs 8000 for the entire package including the camera, the C60 is sensibly priced. SMS junkies, keep away!
i liked the phone’s looks, with its blue-silver outfit and a dash of chrome.The colour panels are exchangeable. The keypad is traditional Siemens small buttons, hard to press and completely lacking is tactile feedback. The navigation keys, are quite cramped and add to the frustration when operating the phone. Build quality is one area where a lot is left to be desired.
The 4K colour, 7 line display screen is nothing to write home about. When the phone is used indoors, the backlight is able to create the proper contrast for strain free viewing. Outdoors, one can hardly read the screen. The icon based menu is simple.
The phone has a total of 350 phone book entries, 100 on the phone and 250 via the SIM card. Other good features include support for MMS, hands free calling, and Java applications. There are 16 polyphonic ringtons and 2 games, Although these can only be called mediocre.
There’s a external camera attachment with a flash. It fits snugly into the data port at the bottom of the phone. Taking pictures takes its toll on the battery, especially with the flash switched on.
The C60 offers tri-band compatibilities. For data transfer the C60 relies on GPRS. You might miss infrared functionality. The battery lasts about three days with normal use.
