It’s a pity that Siemens is discontinuing it’s Xelibri phone lines. The catalog was very different from other phone makers and they would roll out a new collection in spring and another in the fall. The designs they had were not very good looking and were lacking in features, but I saw it as the beginning of a new wave of product development…Their commercial is by far one of the best I’ve seen. Made by Traktor you can download it here. Don’t miss the other commercials.
