Siemens SX1
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Siemens SX1 is a GSM mobile phone running version 1.2 of the Series 60 platform for the Symbian OS. It is the first such smartphone from the German phone manufacturer Siemens Mobile following their licensing agreement with Nokia for the use and development of Series 60.
Though unveiled in February 2003 it launched only in December of that year, but has since seen good sales.
The phone has a very high feature list and very good performance, but there is some controversy over the non-standard keypad arrangement, which has elicited praise from some users and criticism from others.
Three games were bundled with the phone. These were Mozzies, which was awarded the title of best mobile game in 2003, Typegun, which was a game made for acquainting users to the keypad layout, and Sitris, a Tetris version with multiplayer support (via Bluetooth).
