This technical Siemens al21 review is based on an algorithm that takes a close look at a phone's specifications, it is not a live hands-on review. It takes a close look at its good and not-so-good sides so you can make an informed decision.
The Good:
- Weight: Weighing 2.75 ounces is extremely lightweight, and generally means a very small size too. Men with large fingers may dislike dealing with a phone that is so small. (score: 16/20)
- Technology: The Siemens al21 works with global GSM frequencies which is convenient for overseas travelers. (Note that additional roaming charges from your home carrier generally apply) (score: 7/7)
- Talk Time: 300 minutes of talking time. It is excellent! (score: 20/20)
- Stand-by Time: A stand-by time of 220 hours. It is quite good! (score: 16/20)
- Phone Book: It can store up to 500 phone book entries, which is quite good! (score: 20/20)
- Speakerphone: It has a speakerphone, which can prove useful in a car or in other situations. (score: 10/10)
- Wireless Data System: Bluetooth-enabled, which is an interesting plus. Bluetooth is not really necessary but may be handy if you want to use a wireless headset or transfer data to or from your (Bluetooth-enabled) laptop, for instance. (score: 7/7)
Overall Score: 96
