Siemens SX66 Cellphones Review

The Siemens SX66, now available from US carrier Cingular, is a high-end smartphone that seems to take the Swiss Army knife approach: pack in as many tools and features as possible into a small package.
Most Siemens SX66 users will probably notice the most unusual tool right away - a small keyboard hidden in the bottom of the phone which slides out to type quick text or email messages. The slide-out QWERTY keyboard is Simens?s solution to the problem that smartphone makers face in trying to add a keyboard to a phone but keeping it out of the way when it?s not needed. It remains to be seen whether the slide-out approach is comfortable enough to be a good solution for anything more than short messages.
