Siemens C45
Release year: 2001
The C45 has an integrated antenna, with an undoubted advantage in terms of pocketability (it fits comfortably into any jacket or jeans pocket). The alphanumeric keys are made of soft plastic, comfortable and responsive to finger pressure. The function keys, however, are made of hard plastic, uncomfortable and anything but ergonomic; in particular, the scroll arrows located on the inner part of the function keys are not very ergonomic, being placed on an uncomfortable ridge in a position that is too close together. The characters, compared to the previous model, are better defined and consequently easier to read. Unfortunately, unlike its bigger siblings (S/ME45), it is not GPRS.
