BenQ T60With devices like the T60 phone pictured on the right, Taiwan-based BenQ may be onto something. At just 8.9mm it’s one of the slimmest candybars available on the market. As a heavy smartphone user, I’m sad to report it’s a simple feature phone that I probably won’t use, like ever. However, some other people that don’t want much from their handsets may find the device appealing. The 3.2 megapixel camera is on board, and so is the media player, stereo Bluetooth support, microSD slot, blacklist functionality (very cool), remote control (AVRCP) support. The QVGA screen measures at 2.2 inches and the battery provides users with up to 3 hours of talk and 200 hours of standby time. Guess they had to cut on battery life in order to keep the device super slim. Again, I like it, but I want it to run some mobile OS…
