the S65 is a nice upgrade from the S55, bigger higher quality screen for a start, i like the speaker 'grill' they have with the new 65 series, nice design and weight to the handset



main features were Reduced Sized MMC card slot for memory expansion, 1.3 Mega Pixel camera and Bluetooth, no built-in radio though

there is also a clip on flash available for the 65 series handsets

the M65 was interesting, was discussing what handsets were available for outdoor activities with a mate only last week, his book about cycling across Europe was published earlier in the month (The Accidental Pilgrim *plug*), so he would be interested in this phone especially with the Bike-o-meter function...

they had a demo set-up which displayed and recorded you progress while cycling along, not sure how it would stand up to a heavy downfall of rain though as they only mentioned it was 'splash resistant'



it has a band of protective metal that wraps around it, and they kindly chucked it on the floor to show it was able to take a beating (doubt it would be something you'd want to try out every day though!), it has plastic flaps to protect the connection points and the camera to deal with dust and water splashes, no built in radio though and it could have done with a white LED to act as a tourch...



similar screen to the S65, but only a VGA resolution camera, and no Bluetooth. they also had a CX65 which was pretty much the same spec as the M65 but without all the outdoor activity features

didn't pay much attention to the C65, mid/entry level handset with a colour screen (smaller than the other 65 series models), and a CIF camera resolution
