The unconventional Siemens Xelibri 2
Positive about the Siemens Xelibri 2: light, design, easy operating
Negative about the Siemens Xelibri 2: price
Another Xelibri is on the market. This time the Siemens Xelibri 2 in the well-known futuristic style.
As expected, even this Siemens Xelibri 2 has a minimum weight of 73 g only and dimensions of merely 99 x 56 x 20 mm. And again the Siemens Xelibri 2 will be available in two different colours, "white mauve" and "aqua".
The Siemens Xelibri 2 is a DualBand mobile, which can be reached on five continents.
U need to get used to the arrangement of the keys of the Siemens Xelibri 2. But in any case, the chosen arrangement is anything but ideal for writing SMS.
The T9-software of the Siemens Xelibri 2 helps a little when trying to balance this disadvantage of the Siemens Xelibri 2.
Optically the Siemens Xelibri 2 is a great mobile indeed. U can swing the Siemens Xelibri 2 around ur neck, since there is an extra necklace adjusted to the Siemens Xelibri 2 to do so. This looks really stylish and makes the Siemens Xelibri 2 look more like a piece of jewellery than a mobile phone. But watch out, the moment the Siemens Xelibri 2 will start vibrating, everybody will know that it's no piece of jewellery.
The long lasting Lithium-Ion battery of the Siemens Xelibri 2 with a talk time of 240 minutes and a stand-by time of 200 hours is of a great value. The built-in antenna of the Siemens Xelibri 2 offers an extraordinary reception performance. Even the sound quality of the Siemens Xelibri 2 is really satisfying.
The Siemens Xelibri 2 has a high quality 5-lined screen of black colour and white font.
Operating the Siemens Xelibri 2 is made really easy due to the navigation key of the Siemens Xelibri 2. The processing of the Siemens Xelibri 2 is very good and especially steady.
The Siemens Xelibri 2 has some extras as well, such as an alarm, call register, screensaver, date, time and voice-command.
None of the Xelibris are available in connection with a contract, they have to be purchased separately without a contract.
A Xelibri can't be compared with business-mobiles, since they are only meant for making phone calls and writing SMS. Thus, whoever wants a mobile with an integrated organiser and IrDa-interface should keep his / her hands off the Xelibris.
