With extensive multimedia features and its timeless stylish design, the Siemens CX75 stands out from the crowd. The built-in 1.3 megapixel camera with video recording capability allows users to take pictures wherever they go. Bluetooth, the short-haul wireless communications standard, offers maximum flexibility plus convenience. For example, photos can be easily uploaded to the Internet (blogging) without the hassle of cables. To print on paper, the digital photos are simply sent from the mobile phone directly to a printer with a Bluetooth interface.

For entertainment on the move, the large TFT display with 262,000 colors and a resolution of 132 x 176 pixels is ideal for viewing photos and short video clips or playing exciting 3D games.

The Bluetooth interface even supports exciting multiplayer games. For busy people, the integrated organizer is ideal for keeping track of all kinds of appointments. The calendar, address book and task list can be synchronized quickly and easily with MS‑Outlook and Lotus Notes via a USB data cable or via a wireless Bluetooth or infrared interface, ensuring up-to-the-minute data at all times.

A large number of practical and entertaining applications such as a photo editor are installed, along with further games, logos, music tracks and ringtones. It is also possible to listen to music in the MP3 and AAC(+) formats with this new triband phone via the Stereo Headset HHS-700. To store all the data, the CX75 has a built-in slot for interchangeable multimedia cards. With these memory cards which can be additionally purchased, there is virtually no limit to the amount of storage space available.

But mobile telephony is only one of the many talents of this multimedia communications all-rounder. Using Push and Talk, the new walkie-talkie function for mobile phones, it is possible to keep in constant touch with an entire group of friends. Users can also send multimedia messages (MMS) or, while still on the road, enable friends back home to access their snapshots on the Internet with the new blogging function. Despite its wealth of features, the CX75 is very straightforward to use. A timeless design featuring clean lines and chrome accents underscores the high-quality technical specification.

A wide variety of original accessories for the CX75 offers superb convenience. Wireless Bluetooth solutions such as the new hands-free "Car Kit Bluetooth Portable HKW-700," which simply plugs into the car's cigarette lighter and can be set up as needed for the individual user, are especially practical. The "Headset Bluetooth HHB-600" provides first-class digital voice quality and the freedom to move around while making phone calls without any annoying cables. And the portable "Mobile Music Set IMS-700" with integrated active speakers means that more active leisure-seekers can still enjoy access to communications and entertainment. Handy phone cases protect the mobile phone while making it easily accessible at all times.

The CX75 is priced in the mid-range and will be available from June 2005 in the colors "titanium grey" (grey metallic) and "sand silver" (silvery beige).
