Siemens CX65

Nicely filling the gap between smart phone and bog-standard mobile, the new CX65 is a silver candy bar of a handset.

It's a good-looking product with a respectable feature set, including a VGA camera, a 15-second camcorder, a large colour screen and all the normal polyphonic and Java accoutrements. The keypad is an improvement on the SX1's (T3 96, 3/5), but the keys are stiff and unresponsive, which, together with the lack of Bluetooth, hampers an otherwise excellent and easy-to-use product. A huge storage capacity is another bonus, but it's still not enough to beat off competition from the Motorola V600 (T3 93, 3/5) or Nokia 6230 (T3 100, 5/5).
