The Bottom Line
I rarely have to come to such a conclusion but: I don't recommend that phone. There are too many annoyances and too little advantages. There are also better choice in the same price range in T-Mobile's line-up as well as much better Siemens phones in general if you are looking for that specific brand.

Guide Review - Siemens CF62T Review
The Siemens CF62T looks like a direct competitor of Sony Ericsson's Z200: a small clamshell phone with an upper handle that you can use to hang it to your neck. It's clearly aimed at the youth market with a basic set of features at a low price. But unfortunately, the CF62T falls short of the quality level we've been used to with Siemens.
To start with, the ringer volume, basically too low to be heard even when set at maximum: we missed many calls. The speakerphone was below average and definitely not as good as other Siemens phones we have reviewed. The keypad also wasn't comfortable to use and felt pretty cheap, as did the general construction of the Siemens CF62T. Software was also deceiving: slow, and in some cases, you can't press "end" to get out of something as with the vast majority of phone, it will keep bugging you with a question. There are some qualities: a small size and weight and a low price and the presence of a speakerphone, even though it's not optimal. But all-in-all, I don't quite recommend that phone.
