Siemens SF65 - opinions on software

Hi

I am thinking of getting my first ever Siemens phone, the new white SF65, which I understand is due to be released very soon.

1 - What do people think of the Siemens software? Is it easy to use? I've been used to Sony Ericsson software which is very intuitive.

2 - Is it stable without too many problems?

3 - Do Siemens phones have customisable SMS alert tones, and are you able to set a special tone or caller ID picture so that you can tell who an incoming SMS text message is from without opening the phone? I send and receive upwards of 800 text messages a month so I do have to prioritise them!

4 - Is there plenty of storage space on the phone for incoming and outgoing SMS texts? My old Motorola was a disaster as it would store to sim card only - 20 messages maximum! I couldn't delete them quickly enough before more came in.

Thanks to anyone who can answer my queries.

Note that the SF65 is not made by Siemens and might therfore be a bit different than other Siemens phones.
The SF65 is made by a french company.

Also note that the SF65 is dual-band only, so you won't be able to use it in the US.

3: Yes, it will have customizable SMS alert. Probably caller ID too, but there is no external display, so what's the point

4: Siemens phones usually use the whole file system for SMS storing. If that's the case on the SF65 as well, you will be able to store thousands of SMS (like on S65, C65, S55 etc).

If you like iPod design, you will like the SF65 too

Great, thanks. No problem in not using it in the USA as I live in Britain. The display actually rotates and lies flat again, so caller display for voicecalls and sms texts would be very useful - you can leave the phone folded with the screen in 'open' position for when you're driving so that you can see whether it's worth your while stopping the car to answer or read the text.

Yep thought it would be great to match my iPod!
