CeBIT America 2003
Siemens was also showing several other phones announced in March, including the M55/M56, and the SL55/SL56. The M-series is surprisingly small, with a very unique but functional design. The SL-series uses the increasingly-popular sliding form factor. What sets the Siemens SL apart from other "sliders" is the incredibly small size. The keypad is very easy to read and use - the tightly-spaced keys aren't as tricky as they look. One slight annoyance - for me anyway - is the relatively low screen resolution. It's 101 x 80 pixels, which gives it a distinct "low-tech" feel compared to other new phones. But it's still perfectly useable, and probably won't bother most people. Overall, it's a great design.
