Siemens CX70
infoSync World reviews the Siemens CX70 camera phone and writes - 'The number of mobile phones supporting Push To Talk functionality is increasing, and the CX70 is Siemens' first model to offer it. As Push To Talk is network dependent, most major mobile operators are currently upgrading their networks to fully support it. Unfortunately Push To Talk is not yet available in Norway, so we've not been able to test this specific feature of the CX70. Still, the CX70 has plenty to offer - perhaps even so much that it claims a position in the upper end of our chart...
'Pretty much everything the Siemens CX70 has to offer is of high quality. Especially the 16-bit colour display, the user-friendly 5-way joystick, and the phone's battery life proved impressive. Push To Talk functionality has also been added, although is of limited use as of right now. Unfortunately, Siemens has also left out important features such as Bluetooth and music playback. All in all, however, the Siemens CX70 is a solid package and should definitely be highly considered by those looking for Push To Talk functionality.'

Mobile Review has a good review of the Siemens CX70 also and writes - 'Summing up I'd like to say that is the first time the 3D animation that appeared in the phones by Siemens not so long ago works well and there are no troubles with operating speed. Animation is widely used in the phone and that's really good for the menu and the whole perception of the phone. We can't say anything about the Push-to-Talk function for the moment but there is no reason to expect any problems with it. The talks about the inclusion of a flash into a standard kit still remained only the talks, it's necessary to buy it separately.
The beginning of the sales is expected just before the New Year holidays, the expected price is 250 USD. After the New Year the price will decrease but not critically. It's hard to expect any great sales, a customer should be attracted with a new design, but even the functions remained the same as in 65. Of course, there are some improvements but we really doubt they will attract many customers.'
