You also get a speakerphone, two-way conference calling, text and multimedia messaging, a memo pad, a calendar, a currency converter, a calculator, an alarm clock, and a WAP 2.0 wireless Web browser. Alert options include a vibrating ring, a differential ring, and eight 16-chord polyphonic ring tones. Unfortunately, ring tones can't be assigned to individual callers.

For gamers, the CF62T comes with a choice of three Java (J2ME)-enabled games: Dynamic Light Composer, Mobiloko, and Wappo. You can customize the handset with a selection of wallpaper, and you can download more ring tones, wallpaper, games, and productivity apps from T-Zones.

We tested the triband (GSM 800/1800/1900; GPRS) Siemens CF62T world phone in New York City using T-Mobile's network. The signal was consistently strong, and the call quality was excellent. Even using the supplied microphone and earpiece, we were able to get good call quality with little static or background noise. Our only issue was with the speakerphone: its sound was distorted, and the volume was too low for most environments.

The CF62T delivered 5.5 hours of talk time, beating the rated talk time by an extra half hour. We managed 7.5 days of standby time, more than a day shorter than the promised 9 days but still respectable. According to the FCC, the CF62T has a digital SAR rating of 1.32 watts per kilogram.
