Pros: Very small & light, easy to read keys, excellent reception, speakerphone
Cons: Too small?
The Bottom Line: Unbeatable execution by Siemens. Blows away every other phone in terms of clarity, size, and ease of use. A big thumbs up!

| thegsrguy's Full Review: Siemens CT56 Cell Phone |
I purchased this phone to replace my Sony Ericsson T306. Best move I've ever made.
This Siemens phone is ultra-small and ultra-light. I can hardly tell it is in my pocket. Although it is small, the buttons are large enough that it isn't difficult to use them.
The screen is also a good size and very easy to read. The orange LEDs illuminate much better than the usual greens or blues.
The phone is packed with all the usual features, all intuitive and well made. The polyphonic ringer produces some really cool ringtones and even plays sound effects!
My biggest gripe with any phone is usually the reception. Not this phone. Everything is crystal clear and the signal never drops out. My friends have often asked if I am calling from a land line...the quality is that good!
So far the battery life seems to be excellent. I left it on for several days straight and still have well over 50% of the charge left. Even after fiddling with ringtones and games, I still have more then enough power.
I only had a chance to use the speakerphone once but I must say it sounds excellent. I don't sound echo-ish on the other end and I can understand the caller perfectly. A big thumbs up on good execuction of a speakerphone.
