It’s kinda good for consumers when companies are struggling and they have to innovate even more. Not that BenQ’s latest E72 smartphone brings much innovations to the world of Windows Mobile powered devices, it’s just that it looks like a fashion phone, yet packs all the cool features of a smartphone.
The BenQ E72 is a GSM/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 MHz device that runs on top of Windows Mobile 6 and also packs 2″ screen, 2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth and WiFi wireless connectivity, and of course the standard microSD memory expansion slot. As for the preinstalled software, there’s some kind of universal IM client that works with all major IM networks (AOL, Yahoo, MSN, ICQ and Google Talk), RSS reader, and other standard software which comes with Microsoft’s mobile OS.
All in all, the device looks slick, has tons of features and is even more expandable with any of the numerous 3rd party apps. Too bad only selected countries in the Asia Pacific and European regions will be able to try it out this Q4…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
