Samsung p510

⏱ Life timer: N/A | 📦 Boxed: NO
📅 Release Year: 2004 | 💰 Release Price: ~400 $

📰 Why this phone matters: The first thing you’ll notice about the P510 is that it has an auto-opening feature for the ultra-lazy. A press of the side button and the phone will open and close automatically, through a smooth motor driven action. While such automation may seem twee, until you have experienced the sweet sound the motor makes, or felt the adoration of inspired onlookers, you shouldn’t be too hasty to write it off as a novelty gimmick.📝 Reviews when released: Mobile Review 🔗

Siemens SK65: The Corporate Weapon With BlackBerry DNA
Quick View💎 Rarity Index: A (Rare)
⭐ WOW Factor: A rotating crossblade keyboard that still feels like a mechanical trick from the future
👁 Evaluation in my collection: Good – 9/10
⏱ Life timer: N/A | 📦 Boxed: NO
📅 Release Year: 2004 | 💰 Release Price: 500 €
📊 Units Sold: ~500k
📰 Why this phone matters: The Siemens SK65 was introduced in late 2004 as one of the most advanced enterprise phones ever created, built during a period when Siemens placed enormous engineering resources into its high end S and SX series. The internal development codename is widely understood in documentation to align with Siemens’ business class platforms of the era, specifically derived from the SXG and BB integration programs. It runs on Siemens’ proprietary OS with a full BlackBerry Connect layer on top, giving it access to encrypted push email, corporate sync and RIM’s secure communication protocols.When released, the SK65 targeted senior professionals and executives who needed BlackBerry functionality but preferred a sleeker eur;opean device. Launch pricing depended on region, but the unsubsidized cost ranged between 450 and 550 eur;os, placing it directly in the high end business category. Early reviews from major publications praised the crossblade mechanism as one of the most ingenious mobile keyboard designs ever made, noting that it allowed full QWERTY typing without increasing the device’s footprint. Reviewers highlighted its solid construction, the crisp Siemens display and the deep integration with BlackBerry Enterprise Server. The only criticisms at the time were limited multimedia features and the fact that the device focused purely on productivity, not entertainment.
The engineering story behind it is equally impressive. Siemens created an entirely new hinge system that rotates two symmetrical keyboard wings outward with perfect balance and alignment. No consumer phone before or after replicated this exact mechanism. When closed, the SK65 appears to be a traditional bar phone. When opened, it transforms instantly into a communication terminal, a true pocket sized workstation.
This unit is preserved in mint condition, with the crossblade mechanism still locking with the same satisfying precision it had in 2004. The BlackBerry Built-in branding remains fully intact on the back cover and the front chassis retains the clean Siemens lines with no warping or discoloration. The display still boots into the original BlackBerry menu structure, complete with the corporate iconography that defined mid 2000s business mobility.
The Siemens SK65 represents the moment when two giants, Siemens and BlackBerry, merged technologies to redefine what a business phone could be. It was a niche device at launch but has since gained legendary status among collectors because of its unusual hybrid nature, discontinued form factor and limited production run. Now considered one of the most unique enterprise phones of the early smartphone era, a mint example like this stands as a mechanical and historical masterpiece.
