BenQ-Siemens EF81 Review

1.

The phone advantage is case quality, materials used in it. Another advantage is qualitative internal display, which is one of the best in its class. Interface improvement was positive. The phone is interesting as image solution for those who wanted to buy Motorola V3x, requires UMTS phone, but doesn’t like V3x’s plastic case. The model is replicating successful competitor and offers things that it is missing. In case you compare this phone with others on the market, average camera quality should be highlighted, very mediocre realization of mp3 player, which makes its presence nominal. The phone turned out peculiar, in case its pricing strategy will fit Motorla V3x, it may become a hit. Unfortunately BenQ Mobile decided that the quality of used materials is enough for making the price high, and so by the moment this model will be released in April, its price will be around 450-500 USD. I shall not judge weather this is righteous price for brand known for poor performance in image line-up or no. You should see this phone in details before buying it, it will not become a bestseller since it’s “repeated” and was created as imitation of Motorola’s product. This thin coating of “hey, I’ve seen this before” over the model makes it interesting only for loyal fans of ex-Siemens brand, this is one of the last opportunities to buy pure-blooded product from the company that is now gone.
