DH Review: Siemens SP65 Mobile Phone

Zardon · Jul 26, 2005, 04:56 PM

Phones that are cameras, phones that allow you to see who you are calling and phones that are PDA’s are just some of the advances that have driven the mobile phone market forward in the last few years.All of these are useful features in their own right but not for everyone. What if you’re a busy professional who just wants a decent phone with good connectivity to make life easier? That’s where the SP65 comes into play, according to the info pages on Siemens website it’s a phone aimed at corporate users. (It’s really a S65 without the 1.3 megapixel camera so as to meet corporate security rules). Of course this doesn’t mean it (or the S65) are not a good phone for the average user ….

The one thing that is “missing” from the handset is a camera, the reason for this is so that the phone doesn’t break corporate security rules so the user can not take pictures detailing sensitive information.

companies can say this all they want, but for the most part this is BS, I've been in DoD buildings where security is higher than almost any corporation, all they do is TAKE YOUR PHONE AWAY, all phones, camera or not, it makes things easier in preventing cameras in, so if you are in most places that won't let you have a camera, chances are you can't have a phone at all. I just always hate it when companies won't own up when they cut out a feature to save money and they call it a benefit

Im not going to argue the point as I have honestly no idea, but could it perhaps be different from UK to USA?

i can have the phone with me, but, i cannot have a camera while inside the building/workplace in many areas i've been to. they will have to keep the phone if they found it comes with camera.

most average user don't want to buy this phone because it has no camera.
there are a lot of models with less prices that come with camera.
friends own too many mobile-phone shops.

the phone is made just for that as they said on the Siemens website.
