At home with the Siemens SL65

Reader Kai Cherry tossed us this quick appraisal (with a bunch of pics) of his new lust object, Siemens' slider-style SL65 cellphone:

The display on this thing is sexy and has a nice fade out effect. The camera didn't come with a data cable or a
flash attachment. The joystick is too small, and it's too easy to hit the browser button underneath it by mistake
(I'm looking in the manual to see if it can be changed). Also, this little phone is LOUD..they aren't kidding!* There
is even a note in the manual warning you to make sure YOU ANSWER THE CALL before you put it to your ear. I like loud,
though, it helps when you're blasting music in the car.

*Note: There have even been warnings that under some very specific circumstances
the SL65 might cause hearing damage.
