Advantages: Sleek, Light, Small, Modern
Disadvantages: Poor games, Small buttons

...The Siemens M50 in my opinion is a modern mobile phone. Its small (110mm long, 45mm wide), lightweight (90g with battery) and sleek looking. However it only comes in two colours – blue or orange (the blue looks more sophisticated, the orange stands out) The buttons on the phone can take some getting used to – especially if you are like me and went from a Nokia 3310 to the Siemens M50. The power off / hang up button is also small. However, the mobile has “magic buttons” so that you can access games, for example, fast and easily with just one press of a button. The M50 has a very good diary and reminder function. I often use this function to remind me of birthdays or anniversaries or even business meetings. The alarm clock is also a good function if you use it regularly. You can select what days you want the alarm to be activated... Read review

Advantages: Small, cool design
Disadvantages: Very small Ah battery

...I don’t think I am Siemens addicted but all my phones till now are from this brand. I just like them so much and I think they give me best what I need from a mobile phone. One of my favourites is Siemens M50. It’s just 97 g and it has an ideal size for me - 109 x 46 x 23 mm. I am spending my days travelling here and there I found it’s very easy to keep it in my pocket and to be sure that I don’t forget it somewhere. The M50 has a very good diary and reminder function too, which helps me in my daily routine. The organizer functions are quite good as you can use the alarm to remind you of important things. The main colors for this phone are in Chromium Blue or Orange and I personally like the blue one. Some functional details: The Sims card for the M50 can hold 250 telephone number entries, which could be grouped together. Also... Read review

Advantages: light, stylish, changeable covers
Disadvantages: buttons can be awkward to use

...I never owned a Nokia mobile before this one but decided that it was at last time for a change. I traded in my old Siemens M50 for the Nokia 7210 as I really liked the original and stylish look of the phone. At first, I found the buttons extremely hard to use as they are very small and a bit awkward although you do soon get used to them the more you use the phone. There are a wide variety of different covers available but it is quite awkward to change the cover over as it is so tightly fitted. The on/off switch can also be awkward to use unless you have very long finger nails. Overall, I am pleased with the ringtones and design of the Nokia 7210 but it is definitely not as hardy as my faithful Siemens M50 which was hard to damage and would withstand any bashing around in my bag. The screen on the 7210 will scratch incredibly easily... Read review

Advantages: Cost Effective (£300) , Good Engineering, Taut & Tuneful Bass, Good sound quality, Good Build Quality, Easy installation.
Disadvantages: Sounds hard when ill-matched & fed bad recordings

...***MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. [5/5*** I had been to an AV Expo a year ago & that’s where I saw the m51& the m50. I found the m51 to be better than m50. And at £300 the kind of sound it makes is impressive. They come in Beech , Rosewood & Graphite Black finishes. The best I liked was the Graphite Black finish. Looked really classy. You can see that in the pic I have given below. ***SOUND QUALITY. [4/5]*** The m51’s sound in all ways much better than the m50’s. The m51’s have tight bass, kinda gut wrenching at times with a good hall effect & depth with well sprinkled moisture. Ideal for both Movies & as a hi-fi. The frequency response is 58Hz to 20kHz as compared to the 64Hz to 20kHz of the m50’s. That means you get deeper bass in the m51’s. The soundstage is pretty wide if not extremely wide... Read review

Advantages: Still going strong after four years; superb resolution
Disadvantages: It's not a flat screen

...I am sooooo not technical and I wrote the accompanying HP Pavilion PC review to this product in a "non-teccie" style that seemed to appeal to most people who left a comment on it. Given that review's success in style and accessiblilty of information, I am happy to do the same for this relating product. (Which is good because you're dealing with someone who has to get his wife to set up the Playstation if I need to move it from the bedroom to the back-room). WHAT'S THIS THEN? It's not a television or a microwave. It's a monitor - the device you're using at the moment to read this review on. The M50 as a product is about six years old and I picked mine up in March 2000 because it was bundled in with HP Pavilion 6712 (see previous review). So as far as the M50 goes I had no choice in the matter, but sometimes having no choice... Read review
