They were very common here, my first ever phone was a Siemens C25, and some years later Siemens A50 was so cheap, a lot of my friends had that. But I guess these couldn't help the mobile branch of Siemens, it was sold to Benq in 2005. It existed from 1985 to 2005 only.

Yeah, I remember owning one of these, Siemens C65. It was one of the first camera phones:

Maybe the fashion was different based on country, because like I mentioned, in Denmark Nokia was definitely more widespread until the colour screens pre-smart phone era came along.

From 2000 to 2005 they were in the top 4 manufacturers worldwide: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_mobile_phones#2000_2

Sometimes you only want to make one trip but you need a cell phone, building systems control system, and a motor for your electric locomotive. Siemens understands and the got you.

That exact model was kinda common here in Sweden too (along with the countries of others who replied).

I don't think I've seen it since then and the nostalgia hit me like a brick. I distinctly remember how rubbery and mushy the buttons were, in a weirdly good way.
