[ New Phones ] Siemens MC 60 - take a shot in a funky way
Last updated July 4  2003 (page 1)

We still remember that Siemens left behind with the colour display mobile phone for 1 year from other mobile phone manufacturers like Sony Ericsson. The launch of built- in camera model is also half year left behind from the other. Being late is better than nothing. Siemens finally launched their fist embedded camera phone MC 60 in a press event in Moscow, Russia, 3 July 2003. With the help of a famous Czech mobile phone website Mobilmania.cz, we can show you the LIVE presentation and LIVE shots of MC 60. Let's see together!

Phone for Sociable Persons
Siemens MC 60 is the M series follow up model. The press release stresses the MC 60 is for the outgoing consumers who socialize non-stop. That's why there is an X shape in the middle of the handset, and MC 60 supports exchangeable cover as well. To further realize the concept of “phone for sociable person”, MC 60 comes with a CMOS camera and can take up to 352 x 288 pixels pictures.

We still remember Sony Ericsson emphasized the EasyShare concept during the launch of SE T610. Just two click, users can take a photo and share it with MMS client. Siemens MC 60 also utilizes two-click picture messaging. The number key "5" is the short key for photo taking. The specification indicates that it can take 5 pictures within 1 second. We don't know whether it is true or not. Also, the new phone also come equips with a new photo editor and photo game for  further enjoyment.

However, if we compare MC 60 to Sony Ericsson T610, we will find that the configuration of MC 60 is not so attractive. It still uses STN 4096 colour display. The screen solution remains 101 x 80 pixels. It only supports 16 polyphonic ring tones. The poorest is that MC 60 only offer 1MB memory for MMS, ring tones and picture storages, while SE T610 offers 1.8MB and Nokia 7250 around 3MB. We cannot find any IrDA port. Users have to use data cable to transfer the photos back to handset. The MC60 weighs 86g and is available in Aquamarine, Titanium and Grenadine. The phone will be available across Europe from September 2003 and in Asia-Pacific and Latin America at a later stage this year.
