Siemens A40

Next low-end model after A35/A36. It has vibrating alert, though it was realised with a help of sounds of low frequency (loudspeaker vibra), not as a separate motor. As a result vibrating alert is very weak. Similar scheme is applied by Sony to several models, for example to Sony CMD-Z7.
