Siemens made knockoff Nokia phones? I trust Siemens a lot, they’re a quality manufacturer, but I don’t think I ever saw anyone use a Siemens back in the pre-smart phone days.
They were very common here, my first ever phone was a Siemens C25, and some years later Siemens A50 was so cheap, a lot of my friends had that. But I guess these couldn’t help the mobile branch of Siemens, it was sold to Benq in 2005. It existed from 1985 to 2005 only.
Maybe the fashion was different based on country, because like I mentioned, in Denmark Nokia was definitely more widespread until the colour screens pre-smart phone era came along.
Sometimes you only want to make one trip but you need a cell phone, building systems control system, and a motor for your electric locomotive. Siemens understands and the got you.
That exact model was kinda common here in Sweden too (along with the countries of others who replied).
I don’t think I’ve seen it since then and the nostalgia hit me like a brick. I distinctly remember how rubbery and mushy the buttons were, in a weirdly good way.

Yeah, I remember owning one of these, Siemens C65. It was one of the first camera phones:

My first - 1999 iirc - was a Siemens. And yes they really felt like cheap Nokia knockoffs.
