Siemens U15

> Dual Mode W-CDMA/GSM 900/ 1800/ 1900
> Screen Size: 176 x 220 pixel, 65,000 color TFT-LCD

Camera function

> 2 VGA cameras with 3 x digital zoom
> Resolutions 640 x 480 and 160 x 120

The models both have plenty of features including video calling/ video download (at rates that are superior to the early phones but not as good as the A920) AGPS, MP3 and video playback. The phone is smaller than the A920 and could appeal to those who like chocolate bar-style handsets.
