  • mp3+dictaphone+PIM+WAP +much,MUCH more - the Siemens SL45 is THE cellphone to own in 2001!

    Mar 26 '01
    Pros: Where to start??? Mp3 player, WAP, dictaphone, Voice recognition? the list is huge?
    Cons: A little expensive, relatively low battery life, no recordable ringtone (but that's seriously all!)

    Summary: The Siemens SL45 is truly a groundbreaking piece of technology, with only one other phone currently on the market which competes for features (the Samsung SGH-M100). The SL45 has only just appeared on the market here in Australia but is being ... read more

    Aug 11 '02
    Pros: Cool design, good display, durable keypad, dictaphone,
    Cons: Poor battery, complicated menu, even more complicated phonebook, user unfriendly handsfree and mp3 player

    Summary: I have been using Siemens SL45 for a month now, and I have found it to be one of the most complicated and user unfriendly phones you could think of. The MultiMedia Card system (MMC) makes this a very complicated handset to use. The phone has three ... read more

    Pros: Cool Design. Undeniably, MP3 playback makes me buy it.

  • Mixture a la Siemens

    Jan 13 '02
    Pros: Dictaphone, Mp3, Java.
    Cons: Many limitaions.

    Summary: This phone is not the newest phone from Siemens, but still at the top of the competition. For the first sight, it is very appealing, but there are some drawbacks revealed only by long term usage. For myself it is great to have both the mp3 ... read more

  • SL45 worth a look or not ?

    Nov 28 '01
    Pros: MP3 player, calendar, do your own logos, built in help function.
    Cons: MP3 uses up battery fair quickly, need time to understand all functions fully.

    Summary: My main attraction was the MP3 player and I am more than satisfied with my purchase. I got mine with a monthly tariff and managed to save £80 by shopping about, so if you decide to go ahead and purchase one, this is definitely one of those times to look ... read more

    Sep 10 '01
    Pros: mp3 player
    Cons: quiet ringtones. bad reception, dropped calls, unclear speech quality dangerous emissions

    Summary: I had the Siemens SL45 for three weeks. During these weeks I lost a lot of business because my business is often dependend from a good working mobile phone. Yes the mp3 player in the SL45 is great, works well but everything else is absolute rubbish - yes ... read more

  • PC Transfer Rates

    Jul 29 '01
    Pros: Great Phone, Great MP3 player
    Cons: File transfer/handling, MultiMedia Crad (MMC) Problems

    Summary: I bought the SL45 last week and as a phone and MP3 player it is very impressive. However - don't expect to be able to load your fave tracks onto the MultiMedia Card and go - the file transfer rate from PC to Phone is terribly slow. 20Mb of ... read more

    Pros: Small, Compact, Fashion, Weight, Size.
    Cons: System "Crash & Hang" too often. Display disappeared and appeared as it like.

    Dec 15 '00
    Pros: functions
    Cons: only 32 mb

    Summary: I didn't buy the phone yet but I already love it. it's design and functions. Mp3 on a phone, that's great. The price is high but buying a phone like this and a mp3 player seperately is more expensive. I only find 32 mb not enough. The phone isn't ... read more
