The good: Multiple wireless connectivity including Wi-Fi, infrared, Bluetooth, quadband support; onboard QWERTY keyboard; good software bundle.

The bad: Clunky form factor; poor battery life; 2.5mm audio jack.

The bottom line: Despite its bulky size, the BenQ P50 will appeal to power users and mobile professionals with its strong feature set and multiple connectivity options.

Bad support from Benq

Aug 22, 2006

Rating: 4 out of 10 (Mediocre)
Pros: QWERTY Keyboard, WIFI, Bluetooth
Cons: Short Battery Life, Terrible joystick control
Opinion:
Basically this is a good phone but the joystick is terrible! The joystick some times too responsive and had been sent back for repair for 3 times! The same issue keeps coming back and the last round, they are not even fix it at all. I wrote a complaint email to benq directly and there is no action until now. I totally lost confident about Benq product already....

 

Replaced my iPaq 22xx and Nokia 7610

May 21, 2006

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Great screen, no hinges, QWERT keyboard, WiFi, BlueTooth, QuadBand
Cons: Battery life, Right-handed keys
Opinion:
This phone is perfect for me because it cuts down the number of peripherials (and chargers) I have to carry around. QWERT keyboard means the PDA becomes a legitimate working tool. Keys have very intellegent response.

I don't love the battery life or the tiny navigator, but this device is solid all around (US $560)
