At CeBIT, Siemens Information and Communication Mobile (Siemens mobile) launches the C65, a mobile phone that packs an integrated CIF camera, a 65,536 color high resolution display, MMS and a number of personalization features into an attractive, neat design that allows everyone to explore the exciting world of mobile communication with ease.

Siemens’ new C65 is a convenient handset and the perfect choice for all consumers that want to get the most essential features from their mobile phone. With an integrated CIF camera, 65,536 colors and a 130x130 pixel screen users can capture and share moments easily and at a quality resolution. Additional capabilities such as Java, WAP and GPRS ensure functionality and efficiency is at the forefront of the C65’s appeal.

With an attachable red eye reduction flash, spontaneous pictures can be taken 24 hours a day, so friends can be updated on all events, whenever they happen. The Siemens C65 comes with the innovative photo application ‘Photopet’ - a virtual pet on your mobile phone, which is fed photos to be kept alive. With Java capability and the help of an easy-to-use download assistant new applications can be downloaded from www.siemens-mobile.com.

A comprehensive organizer and address book, calendar and world clock ensure this straightforward mobile also provides all the features needed to manage a busy social life.
