And a tip for you: if you need to activate a profile quickly, press and hold the * key, with a little bell - first you'll have the silent alert option (which you can use in each profile to turn off the ringing) and if you hold a little bit longer, you will get to the profile list and can activate either of them immediately. A shame is that the selected profile is not indicated on the phone display - only a crossed bell when the ringing is off. SMS messages
Siemens C35i enables T9; so far only in English and German and localization is not know to us. What is important for the older Siemens version users is that C35 is capable of recognizing the sender's name according to their phone number. So, if you have the sender's phone number in your phone book, their name will be shown on the display rather than the number. Of course, the phone supports SIM Toolkit. Another good news - if an SMS contains a phone number you can call it directly or store it in your phone book. More good news - pre-composed SMS remained. You can use a simple one like YES/NO answer as well as more compound/complex pre-typed SMS messages that act/function like a macro. Pre-composed messages like "I'll be late by X minutes" where the X can be replaced without the need to edit the whole SMS message - one cursor click and you get straight to the X. SMS message delivery confirmation and status information (like credit information on pre-paid cards or certain types of SMS messages) are dealt with a little strangely. They are not stored in the memory and are only displayed on the screen. The messages rotate bellow the operator's name on the display. When you receive a new delivery confirmation, it deletes the previous one from the display. I'll give you a secret tip that is not in the manual, even. Using the # symbol you can display this message on full screen and consequently erase, and display the previous messages. Picture SMS messaging - a sort of internal tag of the 35 line is inserted in the SMS message. If it is received by a 35-line phone it is interpreted as a picture. The picture has to be stored in memory to be displayed (contrary to Nokia 3210). It can be a part of a SMS message and doesn't take up much space, though. But it's not much of practical use - resembles the Philips Savvy smilies. Other functions
Siemens C35i is abounded with other functions. Games - popular Mines (a thousand greetings from Microsoft), but I would recommend reading the manual, as the mobile display is not as luxurious as a monitor screen. Labyrinth - looking for a way out of a maze - if there were a couple of monsters, it would make for a good 'Doom'. But we complimented on this in the S25 review already. Quatropolli and Reversi are other logical games, but they are definitely not a topic for a big review.
