Siemens S56 and Acura TL 04
#2
I recently switched from S56 to SE T616. S56 worked fine w/TL, but it was no way near SE T616. S56's software or keypads are not nice as SE T616 not to mention the battery life of S56 is less than 50% of SE T616. You may want to look into upgrading yoru firmware adn see if it works better.

The Feb 2004 issue of Consumer Reports with the glowing TL rating was also their annual cell phones & plans issue. AT&T and Sprint were rated the poorest service nationwide. Verizon was rated tops EVERYWHERE.
It's true, a cell phone IS only as good as the network it's on.

I have the S56 (cingular) and have no problems with the hfl. HOWEVER, this phone has the worst user interface IMO and is not that intuitive at all. For instance, for the ringer volume, if you want to switch to vibrate, your choices are "Normal environment", "Quiet environ.", and "Noisy environ". I mean c'mon. Can't you just call them high medium and vibrate? Also, it seems as though you have to change at least 2 settings to get the phone from vibrate to ringer and vice versa. The phonebook is also a PITA. The V600 is coming real soon to cingular and I'm pretty sure I'll be getting that.

I also considered the Seimens S56, but the clerk at the AT&T Wireless store talked
me out of it. He said that the user interface was just horrible and the phone was
difficult to use for other reasons. So I bought the SE T616 which is working very
well.

Siemens phones do take some getting used to. I have never stuck with a Siemens phone for more than a month but we'll see. The S65 is supposed to be out soon. This is what it looks like
