Two more BenQ-Siemens phones to head this way

Juniper Foo | Mar 15, 2006

Was it only January that we reported a slew of BenQ-Siemens phones heading our way?

Now two more have just been announced for the Asia market which CNET Asia had spotted at 3GSM World Congress in Spain last month (BenQ-Siemens makes HSPDA debut).

Beefing up the company's lineup will be the slim 3G-enabled S81 and MP3 player-like EF51. One gripe perhaps is the 1.3-megapixel camera that both handsets carry, in light of new range of phones now touting 3.2-megaxpixel sensors.

Otherwise, the S81 hops onboard the bandwagon of slim-built 3G phones now emerging, while the FM- and MP3-friendly EF51 comes with a flip lid which, when closed, features play, pause, fast forward and backward keys. Also underlining its music function are support features such as 3D surround sound, a six-band equalizer, Display Lyrics, and a voice-operated music selection that lets users speak the name of the song to activate it.

Both are slated to arrive in May, with the S81 available in black and silver, and the EF51 offering a choice of black or white.
