An interesting Siemens phone with a partial Blackberry client (v.3.8)
Pluses:
- Data cable can charge the phone
- Good Bluetooth (OBEX worked as expected)
- Usable browser
- Good MMS client with reasonably intuitive (for Siemens, at least) UI
- Good contact management
Minuses:
- Heavy
- Hideous desktop software
- Limited Blackberry client (no OTA contact sync), poor user experience (constant swapping between Siemens and Blackberry UIs)
- Fiddly and cramped keyboard
- No integration between phone ring profiles and Blackberry alerts (couldn't switch off e-mail notification per se)
