Speaking of Siemens, it is estimated that it is a refrigerator washing machine. But 20 years ago, communications was one of Siemens' most important businesses.
As for me, the first mobile phone I bought was the Siemens 3568i. Probably in the summer of 2001, I remember it was 1,750 yuan.
My first phone, Siemens 3568i
It has a rounded shape and a built-in antenna. It can display 4 lines of Chinese, which is very convenient for reading text messages. There are a lot of features. The workmanship is very solid. But if the workmanship is solid, it will be very heavy. And the keys are rubber, and the force feedback is very bad. Paint off.
At that time, there were actually several options: Nokia 8210, and one was Ericsson T28.
But the polytechnic man finally chose the feature-rich and cost-effective Siemens 3568i.
This mobile phone accompanied me for the rest of my college years, and I didn't have the money to change to another mobile phone until I graduated and made money.
Given the nostalgia for the first phone, after a while, I took a fancy to the Siemens 3618
Siemens 3618
The Siemens 3618 can be said to have improved many of the shortcomings of the 3568i at that time, such as the original lack of quadrangular phase bonds, which are now added. The rugged function has also been added, and the backlight has also been improved to become an orange backlight. So I, who have always been obsessed with Siemens, still took down this phone.
However, while other mobile phones have advanced, Siemens is still the same as the Germans, old-fashioned rather than flexible. Old-fashioned rubber dials, the same shape, and its weight. In the end, only the polytechnic man will pay. At that time, Nokia, Samsung, and motorcycles, some took the thin and light route, some came out of the clamshell, and some took the fashion route, beating the Germans who didn't know how to work around.
And I, after all, also gave up this mobile phone.
Siemens 6688i
To be honest, the first time I saw the Siemens 6688i, I was blown away because it was the first phone to support MP3 playback and read e-books. A memory card can also be inserted in the back. It can also be transmitted infrared.
SIEMENS 6688i The last glory of the Siemens family
You must know that this is still around 2001, and now smartphones are flying all over the sky, at that time, mobile phones were simply just a communication tool, to listen to mp3, but also to bring an mp3 player, and Siemens 6688i, they were combined together, pointing out the direction for smartphones. AND THIS PHONE IS PARTICULARLY EASY TO TOSS, AND IT CAN ALSO INSTALL VARIOUS JAVA PROGRAMS. It is especially suitable for science and engineering men.
In my mind, it's a classic! It's almost perfect, except for that ugly antenna.
After the 6688i, Siemens can no longer keep up with the pace of development of other mobile phones. Gradually, Nokia, Moto and Samsung distanced themselves and left everyone's sight, and a generation of communication giants completely fell.
Since then, Siemens mobile phones have only existed in my beautiful memories of youth.
