The BenQ-Siemens EL71 slim slider phone
(16.5mm) bets on elegance and metal look. The casing in
magnesium and aluminum and the semi-automatic slider mechanism
should attract the customers, who make decision for their
purchase, based on look and feel. The slider is equipped
with high-class 2.0" 262K colors QVGA display. The
features of the tri-band BenQ-Siemens EL71 also include
1.3 megapixel camera, microSD card slot, EDGE and Bluetooth.
After the EF81 clamshell mobile and the S68 in classic
bar form, the EL71 slider phone is the third mobile in
the BenQ Mobile range to combine ultra-slim design and
authentic metal materials. The BenQ-Siemens EL71 will
be available on the market in April 2006 in the color
"Quartz Anthracite" and will also be available
shortly thereafter in the color "Opal Black". |
The BenQ-Siemens C81 is an affordable music-oriented bar
phone. The phone promises up to 10 hours of music playback.
The features of the BenQ-Siemens C81 are very similar to the
Siemens CX75 model - 1.3 megapixel camera, 123x176 pixels
display, RS-MMC card slot and Bluetooth. The difference is
the EDGE support and that the BenQ-Siemens C81 comes bundled
with 128 MB card. It will be available on the market in the
second quarter of 2006 in the color Black.
BenQ-Siemens also presented the CF61 clamshell with interchangeable
covers in fashionable designs. The phone also offers 1.3 megapixel
camera, microSD card slot, MP3 player and Bluetooth connectivity.
The BenQ-Siemens CF61 will be available on the market in the
second quarter of 2006.
The BenQ-Siemens CL71, another slim slider (17.8 mm) was
also presented today. The phone has iF design award for 2006,
it was code named Cupid when its pictures leaked a month ago
from the iF awards web site. The BenQ-Siemens CL71 has 2"
262K colors TFT display with 172x200 pixels resolution, 1.3
megapixel camera, FM radio, microSD slot and Bluetooth. It
will be available on the market in Q2, 2006.
The music oriented BenQ-Siemens E61 also has iF design award.
It was named Hermes B when we first saw its pictures. The
bar phone has an unique music interface, the five buttons
are positioned on the upper rim of the phone. The BenQ-Siemens
E61 will be an affordable solution for the music lovers. It
offers only a VGA camera, but the MP3 player with 6-band equalizer
and miniSD card slot should compensate for this. The BenQ-Siemens
E61 will come on the market in the first quarter of 2006 in
the colors Silver and Orange.
The BenQ-Siemens P51 smartphone upgrades the BenQ P50 model
with the new Windows Mobile 5.0 OS, GPS features and support
for the faster 802.11g WLAN standard. The BenQ-Siemens P51
will come on the market in July 2006 in the color "Silver."
