Reviews - Siemens S10
The Philips Genie holds the title of the
lightest phone in the world and the new Siemens S10 now holds the title
as the first colour phone in the world. Looking at the display it looks
very washed out. There are three colours, red, green and blue. Whilst
it's a interesting novelty it really doesn't make the phone any easier
to use and in bright light makes it harder to see the display. The phone is quite big by modern standards
and measures 147 x 56 x 25mm (h x w x d). It uses a small sim card holder
mounted in the side of the phone. Weight is a fairly good 185grams with
the standard 1800mAh Li-Ion battery. Featurewise the S10 is pretty much fully
featured with all the features that you would expect in a high end phone,
including a multitude of ring tones and more. The menu system like the
system on the Panasonic G500 is not the easiest to use. The phone performed very well, not as well
as the Genie in most case, but certainly better then a lot of other phones
on the market. Battery life is excellent and whilst I had no chance of
measuring it with it's claimed time of 100 hours standby or 10 hours of
talktime, I'm sure the 1800mAh Li-Ion battery could live up to that. Unfortunately
I only had this phone for a very limited time and could not test it further. The Kit comes standard with the phone, 1800mAh
battery, charger and manual. Options include Car kit, data card, portable
hands free, car charger, desktop charger, retractable antenna and batteries.
