    Hi,

    I'm about to buy a nice cheap and cheerful phone on vodafone.ie. I can either get the Sagem MYV55 for €79 or the Siemens c65 for €69. I'm not sure which to go for and was wondering if anyone out there had either one of these phones and if they would tell me if they were any good. Have to buy it before midnight tonite, as the offer closes then!

    Any advice greatly appreciated.

    Well not much point advising them now, they said they had to buy it before the 28th February.

    As a matter of fact I had a Sagem myv-55 and the only thing better was the screensize. I sold that phone to a friend and now i've got a Siemen C65, it's much more balanced in yer hand, the Sagem was really top heavy. Also i hated the buttons on it.
    But i have a problem with my c65 i'm trying to figure out and maybe you can help me.
    You know when your phone is ready, it shows by default INTERNET and CAMERA in the corners of teh screen, i think those slots are called "soft keys" in the manual. Well i want to change both and to do so the manual says:

    "Soft keys
    Change
    For example, the INTERNET function is assigned to a soft key. To change this (in standby mode):
    INTERNET - press briefly.
    CHANGE - Scroll to new assignment in the list.
    [icon of joystick] - Confirm"

    But this doesn't work for me, everytime i press the INTERNET soft key, it opens my browser. Have you been able to change these soft keys?

    You can change them by default; but the operators request that they be locked to their various money spinning enterprises.

    I have the C65 on o2, and it annoys the the hell out of me. I rang Siemens, and they confirmed the above, but would not say whether I could flash the fone using the firmware available on Siemens' own site. Weird I know, but the fact they didnt say no was interesting.

    I think its worth buying a datacable to try (not a lot to loose if you wreck the fone!), although if anyone has any alternative suggestions i'd love to hear!
