| CyrixDes's Full Review: Siemens Nixdorf C35 |
Here we have a sturdy, reasonable looking addition to the Siemens line up of mobile phones. It is the big brother to the successful Siemens C25 (read my opinion on this to find out if I liked it), and unfortunately this is where the similarities end, with the name.
Don't get me wrong I am not saying that this phone is ugly or anything like that but it loses the slim and sleek good looks of the C25. However I think I am being a little critical here when you have to remember that the C35 is a WAP (wireless application protocol) phone, and WAP capabilities could never be fitted into the tiny C25.
The first thing I noticed when I saw this phone was the interesting "dumpy" aerial on the C35. It is a very short aerial and very fat. However I think that the general layout of the phone would look out of place if it had a more standard thin and longer aerial. The C35 comes with a very good viewable screen for using the WAP service that is accessible through this phone. It is very well laid out with the standard 11 number and miscellaneous digit buttons, along with a power button, a call button, a message button and scroll buttons.
This phone is incredibly light. It weighs just 110g which suprised me for a phone that looked a little bulkier than this. To have made this phone 25g lighter than the very small C25 is a remarkable acheivement by the engineers at Siemens. As for other features it comes with the standard 99 name and number memory and a fast battery charger. If you have the phone on Virgin you also get a free hands free kit as is standard with all Virgin Mobile phones.
We can't forget to mention the fact that this phone is a WAP phone and hence can connect to the internet or should I say connect to the mobile phones version of the internet. This is very good technology and is being expanded all the time.
Overall we have a very competant phone here and is competitively priced in comparison to other WAP capable phones. I would certainly consider it seriously if you are looking for a phone that is WAP capable.
