13 February 2004 - Siemens Mobile has shown off two
new handsets. The tri-band CX65 comes with an extra
large 65,536 color screen and integrated video camera.
Siemens also unveiled a stunning new clamshell phone
in Madrid - the tri-band CF62. This phone features clean
design lines and boasts two vivid screens, including
a 65k colour main display.

The CX65 offers the ultimate in multimedia messaging,
allowing you to capture both sound and moving
images. Using the integrated VGA video camera,
you can take pictures and video, and then display
them in vivid colour on the extra-large screen.
Thanks to an attachable flash, which offers red-eye
reduction, you can also capture images when you’re
on a night out.
The CX65 combines technology with simplicity;
Java means you can personalise your phone with
downloadable material, a joystick makes gaming
more engaging, and e-mail means you can check
your inbox and send messages while on the move.
For ease, the CX65 also offers an animated download
assistant – a virtual friend that helps you
download ring tones, logos or games from the Siemens
website.
The phone comes with an impressive 11MB of memory,
which means plenty of storage for everything from
multimedia messages to address books. GPRS capability
also allows you to send and receive data at high-speed,
whether it’s a video clip or a cool new game.
The CX65 offers a talk time of five hours and
250 hours standby time, so you don’t need
to worry about the CX65 running out of energy.

Jonathan Bate, Vice President of Siemens mobile Northern
Europe, said: "The CX65 is the first phone to truly
bring this next generation of multimedia messaging to
the mass market. It’s the kind of phone that people
who love creative communication have been waiting for.
In particular, they will be impressed by the screen
size, which really sets the CX65 apart from the rest
of the crowd.”
The CX65 comes with a wide range of Siemens Original
Accessories, including a variety of fashionable fascias,
a clip-on flash camera with red eye reduction, a headset,
various chargers and data cables, an extra battery and
a practical Tour Case. In addition, there is a range
of in-car solutions including a Car Kit Easy and a flexible
Car Kit Portable, which conform to the new legislation
with reference to driving while using a mobile phone.

The CF62 is the perfect phone for consumers who
appreciate precise detailing. The clamshell’s
distinctive design includes a subtle loop antenna
and a genuine chrome finish. To reflect the pared-down
styling the CF62 is available in two muted colours
- ‘cool grey’ or ‘cool cashmere’.
The CF62 is so compact that it can fit the smallest
of pockets – it has a volume of 78cm3 and
weighs a mere 85g.
Despite its diminutive size, under the surface
the CF62 is very expressive. The high-resolution
65,536 colour display vibrantly renders MMS messages
or pictures taken with the attachable QuickPic
Camera with flash. There is also a caller display
on the outer screen so you know who is calling
before flipping the phone open.
The CF62 is a triband handset, equipped with
JAVA, GPRS, WAP and polyphonic ring tones. It
can easily be customised with downloaded sounds,
images and applications from the Siemens website.
Jonathan Bate, Vice President of Siemens mobile
Northern Europe, said: "The CF62 brings stunning
design to the mass market. The mixture of streamlined
looks, fresh functionality and good value will
prove irresistible to any style conscious consumer.”

QuickPic Camera with flash, a range of headsets can

There are two high quality portable in-car solutions

Easy and the flexible Car Kit Portable. Also available

as well as various chargers, a data cable and an extra
battery.
