new xelibri(siemens) range

flogen · 2003-12-02 20:38:20

Anyone seen the new xelibri phones (5, 6, 7, and 8)? Ive always been interested by this brand, they dont seem to be full of great features, but have cool looking phone designs. im quite interested in the new x5, its €200 sim-free in carphone warehouse and i think it has a sliding keypad kind of thing going on... looks nice…

OOh they're really sweet looking.
If they had GPRS, colour screen and a camera i'd REALLY want one. They've come down in price quite a bit haven't they

yeah i don't think the first 'collection' went down too well - particulalry with boards.ie members... [link]

thought they were an interesting concept - looking at the new range they have at least they have upped the specs from the first 4 that came out and the price point doesn't go over UK £200

you'd certainly be different especially with a 6 or 8 - the 7 looked very SonyEricsson in styling to me though

yeah it does abit, just read that its not a sliding keypad, its actually equiped with a seperate clip that goes over the keypad and can be hooked onto clothes etc.

after having a good look at them, id have to go for the x7 out of the 4, but i wonder how it feels to hold, it looks like it could be abit awkward or something!
