Isn't the sex thing woman ride for pleasure also called a Siemen or something real close?
Asking for a friend.
What was Siemens doing during 1935 through to 1945?
For many men, Siemens barely works when you are 55.
Siemens made knockoff Nokia phones? I trust Siemens a lot, they're a quality manufacturer, but I don't think I ever saw anyone use a Siemens back in the pre-smart phone days.
From wikipedia:
The phone included a WAP browser and two games: Stack Attack and Balloon Shooter.
WAP browser you say..
That exact model was kinda common here in Sweden too (along with the countries of others who replied).
I don't think I've seen it since then and the nostalgia hit me like a brick. I distinctly remember how rubbery and mushy the buttons were, in a weirdly good way.
They were very common here, my first ever phone was a Siemens C25, and some years later Siemens A50 was so cheap, a lot of my friends had that. But I guess these couldn't help the mobile branch of Siemens, it was sold to Benq in 2005. It existed from 1985 to 2005 only.
Maybe the fashion was different based on country, because like I mentioned, in Denmark Nokia was definitely more widespread until the colour screens pre-smart phone era came along.
From 2000 to 2005 they were in the top 4 manufacturers worldwide: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_mobile_phones#2000_2
There also used to be one for the years in between: Amilo. As an early Linux adopter it still makes me shudder.
"uninspired looks" ... "the most impressive thing about the V3515 is its (...) price tag"
*shudder*
There were many Amilos btw. and it stands to reason that some were better but the most common ones were all shitty.
I distinctly remember one that had no Linux driver for its wifi card but it would not accept another one. Vendor lock-in or whatchamacallit.
