Benq C36 music phone

Here’s a phone for those of you that don’t care much about the features, but are looking for a stylish handset that can also work as an MP3 player. The BenQ C36 is a simple music phone, boasting such specs as 1.3 megapixel camera that can also work as a webcam when connected to a PC, FM radio, 2-inch color screen, microSD memory slot, and a battery that promises to deliver up to 2.4 hours of talk and 180 hours of standby time.

Aside from the standard calculator, address book and other regular mobile apps – pre-installed software includes voice notes as well as the neat “Health management” application, which reportedly should help users stay fit on-the-go. As for the availability, the BenQ C36 is scheduled to hit Indonesia later this month, with other countries to follow in the near future. No word on pricing, though.

He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
