The Siemens S55 is a GSM - mobile telephone of the former mobile phone manufacturer Siemens Mobile for business users and was from November 2002 available on the market. The S55 cost 379 euros when it was launched and, as the successor to the S45, was considered to be the upper-class cell phone from Siemens.

Siemens stopped producing cell phones at the end of 2005 and sold the naming rights to the Taiwanese electronics group BenQ , whose cell phone subsidiary BenQ Mobile was liquidated in early 2007 .

With the S55, the user has a special telephone book that can save a photo of the contact in addition to five numbers, two e-mail entries and the postal address.

The internal memory is 921 kilobytes , in the next to the phone book, personnel manager (calendar, notes, tasks, e-mails) and some Java find programs place so remain, in effect, about 400 kilobytes remaining. As is usual with Siemens cell phones, the S55 also offers the option of synchronizing all data with a PC.

Siemens used the existing Java capability to install animated instructions for office gymnastics - fit @ work. As one of the very first cell phones, the S55 offered the option of an additional attachable camera; Bluetooth , IrDA and the sending and receiving of multimedia messages (MMS) are also part of the range of functions.

The Siemens S55 was used by Chancellor Angela Merkel as a work phone. On June 9, 2006, she gave her copy to the House of History in Bonn.
