BenQ Siemens News
It’s been a long time since we’ve seen a single BenQ handset. The Taiwanese company left that business in 2007 after failing to turn it into profits. And that’s despite merging its mobile phone unit with Siemens’ mobile arm. Alas, times are changing and BenQ moved ahead, focusing on other areas, namely monitors, LCD TVs…
In another eXpansys-related mail, I just wanted to quickly highlight a cracking deal they have on the BenQ E72 Windows Mobile smartphone – now we are not talking cutting edge here, but what we are talking is a capable device, running an O/S that lets the mobile device connect very nicely with your PC. If…
BenQ, who has traditionally stuck to Windows Mobile for their higher-end phones, will be climbing aboard the Android bus soon. They should have something in the market in 2010, alongside an Android-packing netbook, although specs and specific release dates are nonexistant. BenQ makes decent-looking phones, so at very least we can expect an attractive package…
I don’t mean that BenQ used a person called Tim to launch the S6 (though they may have had someone of that name working on the launch), no, no, no – BenQ have launched the Mobile Internet Device called the S6 with Italian Operator TIM! There is an Intel Atom processor inside, along with 4.8″…
My favourite online shop, Expansys, have emailed to let me know that I can know pick up a WinMo 6 O/S Smartphone for under a ton! Yes, just less than 100 GBP (exc. postage) will see this little beauty making it’s way in to your ownership… highlighted features are: Operating System Windows Mobile™ 6…
BenQ has announced a new phone in Taiwan. The E55 supersedes the earlier E53 model, and is positioned as a low-to-mid range 3G phone. Specs wise, the stylish candybar sports two cameras (2 megapixel for photo taking and a VGA camera for video calls), 2-inch 176×220 pixels screen, small external screen (96×64 pixels), media player,…
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…
With 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…
BenQ Siemens churned out some interesting handsets in their final days as a legit manufacturer. One of our favorites was the BenQ Siemens SL98 reverse slider – rather than sliding the screen upwards to reveals a keypad (like the more traditional sliders that we’ve seen), the screen pops up out of the body. Now, you…
Water and dust. Two things you just don’t want to have getting inside your mobile phone. Weekend warriors will be happy to hear that the new BenQ M7 will put up with their water-borne and dust-filled hijinx in stride. The BenQ M7 features a 2 megapixel camera, forward-facing video-call camera, GPS, tri-band GSM radio with…
