Introducing Xelibri 1, 2, 3, 4
The following nicknames of Xelibri series are not made by ThreeGMobile.net but by Xelibri officials, you will know how fashionable and creative they are:

Xelibri 1 nickname: The Retro-Futuristic Classic
Of all 4 models, Xelibri 1 is the most normal one; at least, it has a normal keypad. The main identity of Xelibri is the letter "X". We can see "X" shape in the Xelibri 1 design. The material of Xelibri 1 is plastic, while the keypad is made by soft plastic. The feeling of touching the phone is very special. Xelibri 1 uses white colour backlight with black background. The keypad can emit orange backlight. All together mixes a very cool style. Turn the handset back; you can see some space fiction like line drawing.

Xelibri 2 nickname: The Alien Beauty
ThreeGMobile loves the nickname of Xelibri 2, the alien beauty, yes, we believed that the design of Xelibri 2 is inspirited by alien fiction movie. The screen of Xelibri 2 is larger, and emits the white backlight. But the most innovative design is the keypad located at the two sides of the phone. Unlike Siemens SX1, the size of the keys is smaller. Turn it back; you will see a clip for you to hold it on the belt.

Xelibri 3 - The Mini-Pendant
Xelibri 3 is the most expensive model of the Xelibri this season because it is the lightest GSM phone in the world, only weighted 55 grams. Xelibri 3 does not have number keypad. It only equips a few menu keys for you to choose the telephone numbers from the phone book and assign ring tones. Users can also plug the hands free neck kit, so that users can use the phone as pendant holding in the neck.

Xelibri 4 - The Dark Hero
Xelibri 4 is the first announced Xelibri model. The sharp V and black look shock all the audience. The keypad is the same of model number 2, and the backlight is white too. The design of Xelibri 4 does not encourage you to hold it by hand. The big hole at the top allows you to wear any kind of hand string. Also, it equips a back clip so that you can hold in on the belt.

Functionality
Talking about the features, Xelibri series focus on the portable style. Besides Xelibri 1, all of them can make call through voice dialing. Also, users can activate hands free speakerphone during the call. All four models do not include internet, WAP or GPRS. Rather, Siemens puts EMS as fun feature. Users can add icons and sound in their SMS message. The EMS can be compatible with other phones like the ones from Sony Ericsson or Alcatel. There are several graphics in the handset. Users can choose the favorite one as the screen savers. Number 1, 2, 4 models equip with polyphonic ring tones. The manufactures did not tell us how many chords the sounds are. However, users cannot input or download polyphonic sound by themselves.
