The phone I have now since about 2006, ie for 8 years. Unfortunately, now show some "Maken" and the outer rubber shell peels off. The voice quality remains best. But now after eight years more, I decided to buy a new mobile phone. This model I'll keep as a spare. Had there been a Siemens current successor, I would have bought me this. Overall, Siemens ME 75 is a very ingenious mobile phone, which has survived many falls, as well as some water baths.
